Timing of The Booking:
The timing of the pool opening is an “open window”. Our technicians will be sending an email when they’re on the way to your property, and a second one once they have completed the job with a report attached. Our technicians will also put your appointment in a “queue” during the morning of the opening. Please refer to this for their approximate arrival at your property.
