Getting your pool ready for swim season is about more than just removing the cover — it’s a thoughtful, technical process that ensures your pool is clean, safe, and fully operational. At Elite Pools & Spas, our professional pool opening services take the guesswork and hassle out of spring startup. We prepare your pool for summer so you can enjoy crystal-clear water from day one.
Whether you’re looking to safeguard your family, reduce debris, or lower heating and chemical costs, a properly chosen and installed pool cover can make a significant difference. A safety cover creates a secure barrier over your pool, helping to prevent accidental falls into the water when your pool is not in use. Automatic pool covers take this protection a step further with push-button convenience, allowing you to cover and uncover your pool quickly with minimal effort. These systems are designed to meet industry safety standards while delivering ease of use and long-term performance.
