Pool Opening & Closing Services

Start and End Your Pool Season Right

In Texas, we are lucky to have a long swimming season. But even here in Haltom City, there are times when you need to close your pool for the winter or open it back up for summer. Doing this properly protects your equipment, prevents damage, and makes sure your pool is ready to use when you want it.

Pool opening means getting everything running again after a period of non-use. Pool closing means shutting things down properly so nothing gets damaged while the pool sits unused. Both processes involve specific steps that need to be done in the right order.

At HCP Haltom City Pool Services, we handle both opening and closing services for customers who want their pools properly maintained year-round. We make the transitions smooth and worry-free.

What Our Pool Opening Service Includes

When we open your pool for the season, we do a complete startup to make sure everything is working perfectly:

• ✓Remove and store pool cover if you had one installed
• ✓Reconnect and test all pool equipment including pump, filter, heater, and automation systems
• ✓Inspect all equipment for winter damage or wear and let you know if anything needs attention
• ✓Clean the pool thoroughly including skimming, brushing walls, and vacuuming the floor
• ✓Test and balance all water chemistry to get it swim-ready
• ✓Check for leaks, cracks, or damage that might have happened during the off-season
• ✓Run the system and verify everything is circulating and functioning properly

By the time we finish, your pool is clean, balanced, and ready to swim in. You do not have to mess with anything or figure out what needs to be done. We handle it all.

What Our Pool Closing Service Includes

When you close your pool for an extended period, proper winterization protects your investment. Here is what we do:

We thoroughly clean your pool so debris does not sit in the water and cause staining. We balance the water chemistry and add winterizing chemicals that prevent algae growth and protect your pool surfaces.

We lower the water level to the appropriate height, blow out all plumbing lines to prevent freeze damage, and add antifreeze where needed. Even though Haltom City does not get extreme cold, we still get freezing nights that can crack pipes if they have water in them.

We shut down and winterize all equipment properly. This includes draining pumps and filters, removing drain plugs, and protecting equipment from weather damage. We also install your winter cover if you have one, making sure it is secure and properly fitted.

Proper closing prevents expensive repairs in spring. It is worth doing right even if you only close your pool for a few months.

When You Need Opening or Closing Services

Most Haltom City pool owners keep their pools open year-round or just close them for a short winter period. But there are several situations where these services make sense:

You are traveling for an extended time and want to shut everything down safely. This prevents equipment problems and keeps your pool from turning green while you are gone.

You want to reduce maintenance costs during months you will not swim. Closing for winter and opening in spring can save money on chemicals and electricity.

You just bought a house with a pool that has been closed and you need it opened properly. We see this often with newly purchased homes where the pool sat unused.

For customers who keep their pools open year-round, we offer weekly pool cleaning services to maintain them continuously. Many people find this easier than seasonal opening and closing.

Pool Seasons in Haltom City

Texas has a different pool season than northern states. We can swim comfortably from April through October, and some people swim even longer with heaters. Our winters are mild but we still get occasional freezes.

This means pool closing here is less about surviving months of snow and more about protecting equipment during light winter weather. We focus on preventing freeze damage to plumbing and keeping your pool from turning into a swamp while it sits unused. Our opening services get pools ready fast since the weather warms up quickly in spring.
