All chemicals and parts are additional.
PLEASE NOTE: Pool owners with solid safety, tarp or automatic covers must keep an automatic cover pump on the cover at ALL TIMES. Pumping off the cover between Winter Watch visits is NOT the responsibility of Central Pools under this agreement. Automatic cover pumps are available and are highly recommended. Central Pools can provide and install one (for an additional charge) at closing if requested.
