Pool Opening
The Swim Zone opens hundreds of in-ground pools throughout Northern and Central New Jersey. Proper pool preparation for the winter season ensures that when warm weather arrives your pool will be ready to be opened before the pool season starts.
WHY THE SWIM ZONE?
When it’s time to open your pool count on the experts at The Swim Zone to do the job right. We’ll re-install accessories such as diving boards, ladders, handrails, lights, pool cleaner, etc. And we’ll reassemble filter and pumps, including replacement of gaskets and/or seals if needed (parts not included), and perform a complete water chemistry check. If you are a D.I.Y. person who likes to open your own pool, check out our Pool Opening Guide to ensure you have covered all the basis!
