Professional Seasonal Pool Services to Keep Your Pool Safe and Ready

At MC Pools, with over 10 years of experience serving the Greater Capital District and surrounding areas Latham, Clifton Park, Ballston Spa, Saratoga, and Colonie, we understand the importance of properly opening and closing your pool each season. Ensuring that your pool is maintained professionally not only protects your investment but also guarantees a safe and enjoyable swimming experience for your family and guests.


Proper pool openings in the spring set the foundation for a flawless swimming season. Our trained professionals carefully inspect every component, clean debris, balance chemicals, and start the filtration system to ensure optimal performance. By addressing potential issues early, we help prevent costly repairs and promote a safe, sparkling swimming environment. Every pool receives the attention it deserves, from vinyl and fiberglass pools to traditional concrete designs, ensuring that all aspects are ready for use.


As the season winds down, closing your pool is equally critical. Winterization protects the pool structure, plumbing, and equipment from harsh winter weather conditions common to the region. Our team drains water to appropriate levels, applies winter chemicals, covers pools securely, and prepares equipment for safe storage. By providing comprehensive opening and closing services, MC Pools helps homeowners enjoy peace of mind knowing their pools are ready to reopen each year without complications.
