About this service
When the weather turns, your pool should be ready before you are. Polar Pools handles spring openings across the Wasatch Front, from Santaquin to Ogden, so you can go from covered-up to swim-ready without the guesswork.
A standard opening covers the essentials: we remove and store your cover, start up and inspect your equipment, and balance and treat the water to bring it back to life. Opening starts at $210 for a pool and $265 for a pool and spa together.
Most openings also include a one-time clean on top of the opening, which runs $185 for a normal pool. If your pool has turned green over the winter, from being opened late or not closed properly, the clean is $300 instead. Chemicals for one-time cleans and green pool recovery are billed separately, since they aren't part of the flat opening price.
Here's the easy way to skip that clean fee: sign up for regular maintenance. When you start a bi-weekly or weekly plan with your opening, we waive the service fee for that first clean as long as you stay on service. You only cover the chemicals it takes to get the water right, and from there your ongoing chemicals are included and your water never gets the chance to turn green again.

Common questions
How much does a spring opening cost?
A standard opening is $210 for a pool and $265 for a pool and spa. Most openings also include a one-time clean, which is $185 for a normal pool or $300 if the pool has turned green. Chemicals for cleans and green pool recovery are billed separately.
Why is my pool green, and what does that change?
A pool usually turns green when it's opened late in the season or wasn't closed properly the previous fall. It takes more work and more product to bring it back, so the clean is $300 instead of $185, plus chemicals. Staying on a maintenance plan is the best way to avoid it entirely.
Can I get the clean fee waived?
Yes. When you sign up for a regular bi-weekly or weekly maintenance plan with your opening, we waive the service fee for that first clean as long as you stay on service. You only pay for the chemicals needed to get the water balanced, and after that your ongoing chemicals are included in your plan. It's the easiest way to save on your opening and keep your pool clear all season.
