Locations · Albemarle / Charlottesville
Blue Ridge lots — cooler nights, heavier leaves, and houses used in stretches.
Nelson sits against the Blue Ridge, west and south of Charlottesville. Lots are larger, many houses are used in stretches rather than every week, and well water is common. Shade and elevation change how much sanitizer the water needs. We plan the opening and the closing around when you are actually here.
Nights cool off sooner than they do in Charlottesville, and a freeze reaches the ridge earlier in the fall. Leaves fill the cover and the skimmer. We check the heater and the freeze protection. We do not copy a coastal calendar.
Every Tidewater Care technician holds a Certified Pool Operator certification. We check the equipment on every visit.

Albemarle / Charlottesville context
Leaves fill covers and skimmers earlier and heavier than they do near the coast. Nights cool off sooner, so freeze protection matters earlier in the fall and later in the spring.
True summer starts later. Cool nights arrive earlier. A close that is only a cover thrown on is not a close in Albemarle. The equipment still needs freeze protection.
