Finn Pools

Please contact us at info@finnpools.ca to find out the opening cost for your pool.

What we do:

• We will clean and fold up the winter cover, spray off the patio area around the pool perimeter, install pool railings / ladders, brush the pool walls, and get the pool equipment ready for operation.

  Please Note: A licensed Gas Tech is required if the pool heater does not fire up by the ignition switch. We can provide the name of a specialist if needed.

• We will start up the system if there is enough water in the pool. We will then complete a visual review over the exposed pool lines to ensure there are no leaks.
• If we are unable to start your equipment due to low water levels in your pool, we will leave your garden hose in the pool for you to top up and start the pool once the level is appropriate. If you notice a pool line is leaking, please shut down the system and contact us so we can send a technician to make sure the system is connected as it should be.
• We will test the water and add necessary chemicals to begin clearing up the pool water and establishing pool water balance. We recommend getting a water sample test following the opening for additional treatments as required and for ongoing water balance.
• If you have a Maytronics Dolphin M400 or S200 we will clean the filters and put the automated vacuum in the pool to begin cleaning the floor and walls.
