Please note that, depending on water conditions upon cover removal, it can take 2.5 +/- weeks following opening for pool chemistry and conditions to be appropriate for swimming. We recommend opening sufficiently early prior to desired swim date (we do not open pools the week before Memorial Day as it is reserved for pool cleanings). Any pools opened less than 2.5 weeks prior to Memorial Day are not guaranteed to be swimmable by the holiday.

Due to scheduling and time constraints, any repairs required during opening will be quoted and scheduled for a separate day unless the service technician has the parts available and can obtain consent to perform the repair.

The Client or their designee agrees 1) to ensure that the water level is to top of tile line prior to pool opening, 2) to ensure the pool equipment is accessible prior to opening, and 3) to contact Drakeley Pool Company if unable to verify this. They further acknowledge that additional visits required due to lack of water or the inability to access equipment will be billed on a Time and Material basis at the crew rate of $225/hour.

WINTER PUMP DOWNS

Winter precipitation can raise the water level in your pool, bringing the ice to the level of tile and coping which can lead to cracking and cosmetic disruption of masonry. A Technician will check on your water level periodically (2-3 times over the winter months) and will lower the water level as necessary. You will only be charged for visits when the water level is lowered. If you do not elect to have us perform this service, please remember to regularly check the water level and lower it as necessary. Drakeley Pool Company does not assume responsibility for any cracking or cosmetic disruption of masonry due to winter conditions or acts of God.

WEEKLY SERVICE

Maintenance service includes pool vacuuming, leaf netting, brushing, water chemistry testing/balancing, equipment check and reset, etc. Chemicals supplied will be billed separately. Clients are assigned a service day which will be observed for the swim season; every effort will be made to accommodate client preference. In the case of severe weather, a routine maintenance visit may be adjusted to a test and balance visit. Not included in weekly maintenance: cover box cleaning, excessive debris removal from automatic cover.

Other services are offered on a Time and Material basis, including: equipment diagnostic, service, and/or replacement; post-storm cleaning; extra cleanings as requested (please provide 1-2 weeks advance notice); and masonry work.

Your weekly maintenance pricing is contingent on your auto cover pump being in place and consistently pumping standing water off of your cover. If our technician is required to pump water off of the cover prior to beginning maintenance due to the pump not being in place, there will be an additional fee charged.
