When to Schedule Your Seasonal Service
Avoid Rush Season with Early Booking
Connecticut’s pool season can change quickly, and the best time to schedule your opening or closing is before everyone else does. Booking early helps you avoid delays and ensures your pool is ready when the weather turns.
Look for these signs it’s time to call:
- Spring temperatures are consistently above 60°F—time to open and rebalance the water.
- Falling leaves or dropping temps in early fall—a good indicator to prepare for winter.
- Equipment sitting idle or slow to start up after storage.
- Cloudy or green water after reopening—you may need professional rebalancing.
- You’re tired of wrestling with heavy covers or complicated plumbing setups.
Early preparation means a smoother transition and fewer surprises later in the season.

What Our Customers Say
David Leonardo
We recently hired Poolscape Pool and Spa to upgrade our pool liner and steps, and their team was absolutely amazing to work with. Not only that but their weekly pool cleaning service makes our pool a lot more enjoyable and less stressful. Their team is incredibly knowledgeable and always willing to answer any questions I have. I would recommend this entire team for any of your pool needs.
