Listed below is everything included with our safety cover pool opening.

safety cover pool opening Overview
Crush Pools specializes in pool openings in the Oakville, Burlington and Mississauga area. We work in crews of 2 or 3 and always have an experienced lead technician on staff. What makes Crush unique is we prioritize quality over quantity. We take on fewer pools per day to ensure our crews are able to take their time and open your pool the right way. We preach doing the little things right. We have found over the years that when you spend the extra time to do things right you have a positive pool opening experience. Our goal is to be the best. Once you experience a pool opening with Crush, you’ll wonder how you ever used anyone else.

your questions answered
Can I pay on-site for closings and openings?
Sure! We allow on-site payment for closings and openings, which many customers find convenient. That said, we still ask for a valid credit card number when you book the service to secure your appointment. Life happens, plans change, emergencies come up, or maybe you get last-minute concert tickets, and we need a way to keep your booking organized in case you’re no longer available. Your card won’t be charged unless the appointment is missed or canceled late. We aim to keep the process flexible for you while also protecting our team’s time and schedule. If you have questions, just reach out.
Do I have to be home for my pool opening?
Nope! You do not need to be home for your scheduled pool opening. All we ask is that you ensure we have full access to your pool and backyard so our technicians can safely and efficiently perform the service. That includes unlocking gates and removing any obstructions in the work area. We’ve done thousands of openings for customers who aren’t home, and everything runs smoothly as long as we can get in. If there are any special instructions, you can leave us a note when you book. Sit back and let us get your pool summer-ready!
How long does it take to open my pool?
On average its 2 hours. However this ranges from pool to pool depending on size, cover and condition of the pool.
I have a safety cover, is it going to take two visits?
Nope! Safety covers can be started day of and only need 1 visit. This is one of the reasons we recommend you install one as it saves you time and money when it comes to opening your pool.
I want to be home for my pool opening, will you call me on your way?
Of course! Just let our admin staff know when you book the appointment and they will add a note to your file.
I’ve already removed the pool cover myself, can you come and start the system?
Of course! Just make sure your water level is halfway up the skimmer line before we arrive.
What time will you come to open my pool?
Unfortunately it’s really hard for us to give an exact time of when we will be at your house. This is because we never know how long a pool will take to open until we get there! What we can do is send you an email the day before letting you know where you are on our list for the day and roughly what time we will be there at.
What’s included in a full pool opening and safety cover opening?
We like to assure our customers that our pool openings include pretty much everything to get you set up for the summer! The full list of what is included can be found on our swimming pool opening page.
When should I open my pool?
We have a full blog post outlining when you should open your pool. For the short and sweet answer usually one week in advance of when you plan to use it is best! If you have a safety cover – open it as soon as possible. Leaving your pool closed for too long will cause the water to go green and may take weeks to get clear again.
When should I test my water after the pool is opened?
We recommend our customers let the water circulate for a few days after opening the pool before taking their water into a pool store to be tested. You can bring your water sample into our store we offer FREE pool water testing. We are located at 380 Dundas Street E Oakville.
While you’re opening my pool, will you show me how my pool system works?
Our crew members usually work very late into the evening to make sure everyones pool is opened on time so unfortunately they can not spend extra time to explain the system to you. However, we do offer a Pool School where one of our lead techs will come out to your house for an hour and answer any questions you have about your pool!
