Expert guidance on how to care for your new pool
We follow industry-recommended startup procedures designed to extend the life of your pool surfaces, prevent staining or scaling, and ensure a safe swimming environment.
🛑 Permanent Surface Damage - New plaster, tile, or pebble surfaces are delicate in the first few weeks. If your water chemistry isn't perfectly balanced during this time, it can lead to etching, discoloration, scaling, or rough textures that are impossible to reverse without costly resurfacing.
🛑 Algae Growth or Staining - Unbalanced or untreated water can quickly become a breeding ground for algae and bacteria. Improper startup often results in organic stains or green water—issues that require intensive chemical treatments and can delay pool use.
🛑 Premature Equipment Failure - Your pool pump, filter, and heater are all precision-engineered systems. Without a correct startup sequence, debris buildup, airlocks, or poor flow can put unnecessary strain on equipment—leading to repairs or replacements much sooner than expected.
🛑 Costly Repairs and Delays - Trying to fix startup mistakes after the fact can be time-consuming and expensive. What could’ve been a simple, smooth handoff to pool enjoyment turns into a frustrating process of corrections, rebalancing, and rework.
Hiring a professional ensures that your new pool starts off right—saving you time, stress, and money.
