Things to know

Multiple Visits

A spa opening may take multiple visits to your property, especially if it is a Gunite spa and not in great condition. Depending if it is used regularly and closed properly, we can most likely get it running before your specified spa opening date.

Schedule Ahead

It is recommended to open your spa 2 or more weeks prior to your ready-to-swim date, in case any unforeseen issues occur. So, if that party is coming up soon – we have time to make sure it is working mechanically sound, and get it 100% clear and balanced for you and your guests.

Surface Quality

In certain cases, with Gunite spas, an acid wash may be recommended before filling – to remove stain buildup from over the winter that cannot be removed with chlorine. An acid wash may make your gunite spa look like new again depending on it’s age!

Water & Electric

We will need outdoor water spigots turned on in order to open your spa. We also need ready access to an outdoor power outlet, and power to your spa equipment must be turned on.

Locked Access

For storage and ease of access – if you will not be home, please provide us with any access keys, codes, or instructions for your specified storage areas. We will need this to put your cover away, and retrieve any accessories. We will always leave your property in the condition we found it, and secure any entryways.

DIY

If you have never opened or closed your spa, it is not a good idea to attempt it yourself. Parts can break and cause extensive damage, not to mention the danger of electricity also. Please leave it to the professionals at D&R for a proper spa opening service.

The Spa Opening Service Process

How do we open your spa?
Cover Removal

We remove the spa cover, neatly fold it, put it in a mesh bag, and then leave it out to dry. Once the cover dries, we will store it where you specify.

Equipment Connection

Hook up and inspect pumps, pipes, heater, and any accessory equipment used to run your spa. We test your equipment to make sure it is mechanically sound. If a repair is necessary, we will contact you and create a work order.

Gunite Spas – If your heater tray was removed, there will be an additional charge to install it. All ice expanders and winter plugs get removed, and stored with your cover.

Fill & Inspect

Fill spa using hose, or existing nearby pool water. Prime suction on all pumps to get the water circulating. We check for any visible leaks within plumbing and inspect the spa’s operation and cosmetic appearance.

Balance Chemicals

An initial dose of 7 parameters of chemicals are tested and added to APSP and ANSI standards.

Deep Cleaning

Remove all muck build up, vacuum, and brush to sanitary perfection. Recommend any fixes or improvements to loose devices or things that need attention.

Hello all,

Never in our lives would we be thinking about writing this message.This is devastating; we hope you haven’t been directly affected. We’re all hysterical that we cannot interact with each other. Kids & grandchildren – it is such a terrible feeling; but we can only play our parts. As much as we hear it every day; it’s time for D&R to address any concerns regarding COVID – 19 Coronavirus concerns and how we are changing operations until further notice. We believe in the safety of all of our clients, staff, and family. We request you make any exceptions to how our service works for the safety of all parties. We will continue to do our best as always promised.

Below is information taken directly off of the CDC’s website:

Q: “Can the COVID-19 virus spread through pools and hot tubs?”
A: There is no evidence that COVID-19 can be spread to humans through the use of pools and hot tubs. Proper operation, maintenance, and disinfection (e.g., with chlorine and bromine) of pools and hot tubs should remove or inactivate the virus that causes COVID-19. Chlorine easily kills this virus.

We all still need to be vigilant and follow the CDC guidelines pertaining to basic hygiene to prevent the spread of the virus. However, the use of your pool or spa will not increase your chances of contracting it.

Most of our clients have second homes here in the Hamptons. If you choose to seek refuge, to keep your family and loved ones in a safer space; we are offering to open your pools and spas earlier than anticipated, to give you a sense of normalcy and entertainment, while we wait this unfortunate situation out.

Our technicians are all practicing safe and effective hygiene, and always have sanitizers and cleaners for our equipment on hand, as well. We ask that you stay inside from our employees during visits; as we are insisting on safe distancing. Any questions can be called in immediately to our office and will be relayed to our employees immediately. This keeps us all safe for the time being and we appreciate your understanding of the current situation.

Laura is available as always at (516) 449-9107 for any digital communication via text, email, or voice; to address any concerns you have, or to offer any assistance. Thank you for your continued support during these concerning times.

Thank You,

D&R Pool Services, Inc.
