Turnkey Inground Pool-Opening Service for Troy, MI Homeowners

Michigan winters are hard on pools. Freeze-thaw cycles stress pool lines, shift equipment, and leave water chemistry out of balance by the time spring arrives. Our inground pool-opening service handles every step, from pulling the pool cover to balancing chemicals, so your pool can be ready to enjoy when we leave. ASP - America's Swimming Pool Company of Troy is Troy, Michigan’s first ASP franchise location, locally owned and operated by Dave and Danielle Boddington, with the training, technology, and standards of a brand serving over 250 cities nationwide.

Timing matters. Open too early and a late storm or heavy pollen bloom can set you back. Wait too long and algae can get a head start that makes opening harder and more expensive. Once air temperatures are consistently at or above 70 degrees, it’s the right window to get your pool started for the season.

What Our Pool-Opening Service Includes

Our inground pool-opening service covers five core steps, handled in sequence so nothing gets missed.

Pool Cover Removal & Storage
We remove your pool cover carefully and store it correctly so it’s ready to use again at pool-closing time. Covers dragged off carelessly can tear at the edges and drop debris into the water before it can be contained.

Pool Lines Prep & Plug Removal
We inspect pool lines for splits or cracks from the offseason and remove all plugs so every line is clear and ready for the system to run.

Equipment & Structure Inspection
Our certified technicians inspect the structure, liner, filter pump, and related equipment for visible damage. If we spot wear or an issue that needs attention, we can recommend additional repair or replacement services rather than leaving you to discover the problem mid-season.

Pool Cleaning
We skim and clear the pool of leaves, bugs, and debris accumulated over the offseason so you’re starting with clean water.

Water Chemistry Balancing
We test and adjust pH, total alkalinity, and calcium hardness to bring your pool into a safe, swimmable range. Chemical levels drift significantly over a Michigan winter, and getting them right from the start can help prevent bigger issues later in the season.

Opening procedures will vary depending on the condition of the pool once the cover is removed. Additional best practices may vary depending on your local ASP.

If the inspection or opening reveals issues beyond the standard scope, pre-season maintenance is available to address them.

Why Troy Homeowners Choose ASP - America's Swimming Pool Company of Troy

They arrive uniformed and on time, complete the work without tacking on services you didn’t ask for, and leave your property the way they found it. That’s a standard we hold to because Dave and Danielle built this business to serve their neighbors in Troy, not just to fill a schedule.

Frequently Asked Questions

When Should I Open My Pool in Michigan?

Open once air temperatures are consistently 70 degrees or above. Opening earlier can bring issues from late cold snaps and pollen; waiting too long gives algae the warm, unbalanced water it needs to take hold.

Why Is My Pool Water Green After Winter?

Green water after winter is almost always algae. When chemical levels drop below the threshold needed to stunt algae growth, any warmth in the water is enough to let it spread. Proper water chemistry balancing at opening addresses this directly.

What Does the Pool-Opening Service Include?

The service covers pool cover removal and storage, pool lines prep and plug removal, equipment and structure inspection, pool cleaning, and water chemistry balancing. Pre-season maintenance is available if the inspection reveals additional needs.

How Much Does Pool-Opening Cost?

Cost depends on pool size, condition, and location. Any repair or replacement needs found during inspection may require additional charges. Contact us at (248) 609-1946 for a custom estimate for your Troy-area pool.
