Deborah Perry

2026 Pool opening success! Jay and his team arrived on time and made quick work of everything from folding the winter cover to making sure the water was clean and crystal clear and the chemistry was properly balanced. They made sure the equipment was running properly and everything was spotless when they left. Couldn't ask for a more professional and high-quality service. Highly Recommended!

Jay and his guy do a great job! Very dependable and friendly. We couldn’t ask for a better crew! We highly recommend Jay for all your pool needs.

JENNIFER ROBERTS

I can’t say enough great things about Blue Bottom Pools. From day one, they’ve been professional, reliable, and incredibly knowledgeable. They show up when they say they will, keep everything clean and running perfectly, and always take the time to explain what’s going on with the pool. We've been using them for 6 years now. My pool has never looked better — the water is always crystal clear, and I never have to worry about maintenance or chemicals being off. It’s such a great feeling knowing everything is handled the right way. They open and close my in-ground pool every year as well. If you’re looking for a trustworthy company that truly takes pride in their work and cares about their customers, I highly recommend Blue Bottom Pools!

Lauren Litchman

Very happy with the work Justin and the Blue Bottom Pool team did on my pool throughout the summer. Switched from another pool company in the area after hearing about how great Blue Bottom’s prices and service is. Had them install a new liner and do weekly maintenance on the pool up until they closed it in the fall and was happy with all the work they did. Very responsive to calls and concerns and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for any type of pool need.

Frequently Asked Questions

What should homeowners prepare before an opening?

Blue Bottom asks customers to fill the pool to midway up the skimmer tile, unlock the gate and leave skimmer baskets, eyeballs and drain plugs near the pump.

What happens during a service call?

A dispatch includes up to 30 minutes of diagnostic labor. For liner replacements or larger projects, Blue Bottom provides a written quote for approval before work begins.

Does mobile water testing include pool cleaning?

No. The visit covers testing and chemical service only; it excludes netting, brushing, vacuuming and filter cleaning.

Will an opening make the water clear immediately?

Not necessarily. Opening gets the water moving, but green water or heavy leaf debris may take time for the filter to work through.
