    • We will make every effort to schedule your pool opening/closing during the week you indicate; however, we are limited to a relatively small period of time in which to complete very high volumes of work.
    • Water and electric must be available upon the crew’s arrival. All equipment and accessories must be by the pool area, this includes the pool cover at closing. We will fold the cover at opening and the cover MUST REMAIN as we fold it. This is crucial for a timely closing. Any conditions not being met, and our crew must return to complete the opening/closing there will be a $50.00 service charge for that visit.
    • We do not clean the pool when we open/close it. Make sure the pool area is free of toys, dog feces, & solar covers. Make sure the filter area is accessible and free of tall grass & weeds. If it takes longer then 5-10 minutes to clear needed areas there will be a minimum additional charge of $25.00 and our service crew has right to leave due to not having clear access to the work area.
    • Remember when the contract is filled out to include all water features such as waterfall, slide, deck jets, attached spa, solid covers. There is an additional charge, and you will be billed if you did not complete the contract correctly.
