It is best to schedule your closing before temperatures consistently drop below freezing, usually in middle of september or early November. This protects your plumbing and equipment from potential ice damage.

Question 4

What does your professional opening service include?

Accepted Answer

Our team performs a comprehensive opening that includes removing the winter cover, we included chemicals for start upo, reinstalling deck equipment (ladders and handrails), a thorough inspection of the filtration system. We ensure all components are operational and will notify you immediately of any technical concerns before or after completing the start-up.

Question 5

What does your professional closing service include?

Accepted Answer

We perform a comprehensive winterization process.

• Our team professionally blows out all plumbing lines to prevent freeze damage and ensures every component is fully winterized and protected for the winter.

• We apply high-quality winter chemicals and install your pool cover with the perfect tension to ensure safety for both children and pets.

• For pools with solid covers, we install a cover pump to manage water and snow accumulation.

• For Gunite pools, we take extra precautions to protect your tile line and structure. We strongly recommend installing a specialized winter pump on the first step to maintain the water level below the tiles, preventing ice expansion and costly structural cracks. If you do not currently own one, Legacy Pools & Dreamscapes can provide a high-quality winter pump at a competitive price to ensure your pool remains protected throughout the season.

• Finally, we secure the equipment pad by shutting off the main pump breakers while allowing any integrated automation systems for lights or accessories to remain functional for your convenience.

Question 6

Can you customize the closing process for my specific pool?

Accepted Answer

To ensure a successful closing, we recommend having your pool clear of large debris and the water level at the appropriate height as instructed by our team.
