As the days grow longer and the temperature starts to rise, it’s time to think about opening your pool for the summer. At Empire Pools, we understand the excitement and anticipation that comes with the start of the pool season. That’s why we’ve compiled this comprehensive guide filled with tips and tricks to help you smoothly open your pool. Following these steps will ensure your pool water is sparkling and ready for swimming in no time.
The first step in how to open a pool for the summer is to carefully remove your pool cover. Begin by using a pool cover pump to eliminate any standing water that’s accumulated over the winter. After the water is removed, clear off any debris. Slowly and gently remove your pool cover to avoid spilling any remaining dirt into the pool.
Once off, clean and dry the cover before cleaning and storing it properly to prevent damage. Proper storage will extend the life of your winter pool cover.
Testing your water is an essential step in opening your pool for the summer. Use a reliable test kit to check the pH, chlorine, alkalinity, and calcium hardness levels. Adjust these levels as necessary to ensure your water is balanced and ready for swimming. Proper water chemistry is crucial for protecting your pool surfaces and ensuring swimmer comfort.
With your pool filled, cleaned, and chemically balanced, perform a final check of all your equipment to ensure everything is running smoothly. Regular pool maintenance throughout the season will keep your pool in top condition and extend its lifespan.
Opening your pool for the summer doesn’t have to be a daunting task. By following these tips and tricks, pool owners can ensure their pools are safe, clean, and ready for endless summer fun.
