Pool FAQs

It sounds like your pool is running a deficit of some sort. It is always best to swing into your nearest PPS store for a complete comprehensive water analysis. Did we mention it’s FREE?

PPS carries a wide variety of pool and spa parts at each of our retail locations. Please call your nearest store to check availability. If we are currently out of stock, it is not uncommon for PPS to receive the needed part same day delivery to expedite your needs.

Swing into one of our 8 retail locations with a pint of pool water for a free water analysis. Each store is staffed with experienced pool professionals to help get you accustomed to pool ownership.

Call or swing in to your closest PPS location to chat about your goals for the project. We provide free estimates on all types of pool projects.

Typically, most in-ground swimming pool installations are started and finished in 2-3 weeks with PPS as your contractor. That time frame is not typical with other builders.

Corporately, PPS is, by far, the most experienced pool company in the Twin Cities/Western Wisconsin area. Without subcontractors building the swimming pool, over 300 years of experience on each new installation, and over 1,400 pools installed within the last 10 years; it’s obvious why PPS is the answer.

The best way to determine which pool type is best for you and your family is to schedule a free, on-site inspection with one of PPS’s experienced estimators.

PPS builds: in-ground vinyl lined swimming pools, fiberglass swimming pools, partial in-ground swimming pools and steel-walled above-ground swimming pools.

Pool Opening FAQ

No, the pool opening is the process of getting the pool up and running with some initial product treatment to kick start the water quality. The pool will need to circulate for at least 12 hours before you can even get accurate readings on things like pH, alkalinity, and salt levels. This is why we encourage you to do the “pool opening” as early as possible. That way you can get any needed clean-up and clarity issues resolved and have the pool swim ready for that first nice weekend.

If you plan to remove the cover yourself: please have the cover removed one week before our scheduled arrival. We recommend removing the cover as early as possible.

If you request cover removal by us with your pool opening, it may be left in place.

If you have a submersible pump that you can place on the cover to start pumping it off that is very helpful. If not, just let us know once the ice on the cover has thawed so we can try to get a jump on pumping it off. Once the cover is pumped off, put a hose under the cover and start adding water to the pool until it is at normal level.
