What to look for after a hard winter

Start with the things that were protecting your pool through the winter. Your safety cover and pump have taken a beating and will need careful inspection before you put your cover away for the season.
There’s also a greater chance that ice and freeze-thaw-freeze conditions have damaged pool equipment. Sometimes the damage is apparent, but you may be surprised without close inspection and testing.

There is still time to call for help

Even if you’re a seasoned DIY pool owner, you may want to consider professional help. But don’t delay. It’s already late to schedule a pool opening in time for the start of the season.

Here at Budd Pools & Spas, our regular customers have already scheduled their openings, but if you act now, we can fit you into the schedule.

For extra safety, get your fall closing scheduled, too

The secret to a good pool opening next year is a well-done closing this fall. Schedule now and save.
