Centereach Pool Opening — FAQs

When should I book my opening?
Most Centereach homeowners book for late April–May. We’ll align with water temps, spring debris, and your cover type.
Do I need to run the hose before you arrive?
If water is below mid-skimmer, add a few inches the day before. If you’re not sure, text us a quick photo of the water level.
Do I need to be home?
No — just ensure yard/equipment access and a card on file. We’ll text photos and notes after the opening so you can review everything.
How long until the pool looks clear?
With proper run-time and brushing, most Centereach pools clear in 24–48 hours. Heavier debris or algae may take longer.
Can you verify my salt system at start-up?
Yes. We confirm salinity, inspect the cell, and set SWG output during opening so you start the season dialed in.
