      Pool Condition: Unfortunately, EPS cannot accept responsibility for the condition of the pool water at the time of opening Pools without covers or pools that were closed in an unclean state, or pools that have not been maintained may have excessive debris & poor water quality. Opening the pool DOES NOT include clearing up the pool or removing excessive debris. We would be happy to schedule additional clean up services provided at additional rates and would require a separate service date. We reserve the right to decline vacuming when visibility is limited.

      Repairs: Repairs and replacement parts are not part of our opening services. We will be happy to schedule a separate service call so we can devote the proper time and attention to your pool, prices will be quoted for any repair services.

    • Weekly Service: Vacuum service will be performed on a weekly basis scheduled on a set day every week as scheduled by service team. Chemicals are additional and specific to the pool. We reserve the right to reschedule and/or modify a day in the event of inclement weather or unforeseen circumstances.
