Openings & Closings
The two bookend visits of the Calgary pool season, covered together.
Typical opening window
Late Apr – May
Typical closing window
Sept – Oct
Overnight low that signals closing
Around 7°C
$175 CAD
Spring Opening Visit
Removal of the winter cover, a system check of pumps, filters and heaters, and water testing to confirm the pool is ready for the start of the season.
Once overnight temperatures settle above freezing and the cover has had a chance to dry, we schedule the visit — usually within a window rather than a single fixed date, since Calgary spring weather is uneven year to year.
$1,290 CAD
Winterization & Closing Premium Package
End-of-season draining of equipment, winter-grade chemical balancing, and cover installation, with a final walkthrough to confirm the pool is set for the colder months.
We aim to close before the first hard frost. The goal of the visit is to reduce the risk of freeze damage to plumbing and equipment — a properly winterized system is far less likely to need spring repairs, though no visit can rule that out entirely.
A note on pricing and scope
Both prices assume standard residential equipment and normal access to the pool and pad. A pool that has sat uncovered through winter, or equipment in poor condition, can add time to an opening visit; we flag that before continuing, and any extra work is confirmed with you first. The closing price includes antifreeze application and cover fitting as described above — it does not include new cover purchase.
Booking both together
Many homeowners book their opening and closing at the same time, early in the year, so both dates are reserved before our spring and fall schedules fill up. Pairing the two visits with the Seasonal Maintenance Plan covers the pool from first warm week to first frost.

Both ends of the season, booked together or separately.
Reading the Calgary calendar
Neither bookend date is fixed on the calendar the way a holiday is. Spring openings move with how quickly overnight lows climb out of freezing range, and some years that happens a full two weeks earlier or later than the one before. We keep an eye on the forecast as the season approaches and reach out to confirm a realistic window rather than holding you to a date set months in advance.
The same logic runs in reverse for closing. A mild September can push the first hard frost later, which buys an extra week or two of swimming, while an early cold snap moves our schedule up. Customers on our list are contacted as soon as the forecast firms up, so closings rarely happen in a rush.
What to have ready for either visit
Neither visit needs you to be a pool expert beforehand. A short note on anything unusual — a part replaced last year, a leak you noticed, a cover that no longer fits snugly — helps the technician plan the visit, but the checklist itself covers the standard points either way.
