By opening your pool before the official start of summer, you can be excited and ready for lazy days by the pool. Spring pool openings are a smart move. It’s time to enjoy your pool before the official start of the swimming season in the spring, now that the weather has warmed up a bit. There are a few things to keep in mind if you want your pool ready for your future get-togethers.
The first step is to empty the pool cover of any water that may have built up. Using mesh pool covers, you don’t have to do this. An underwater pump for the cover of the pool will greatly speed up this process.
Remove as much material as you can once you drain water from the cover using a blower, leaf net, or brush. It will make your job much easier if you can prevent this mess from falling into the pool when you lift the cover.
Many swimming pools lose water when it’s cold outdoors. Get your garden hose and add the right amount of water.
Test the water’s chlorine, pH, alkalinity, and bromine to guarantee the safety and cleanliness of your swimmers and the pool water itself. It is easy and accurate to examine the water quality of a swimming pool using self-testing kits that use test strips. For best results, go for digital and automated color-matching readouts.
What chemicals you need to add to make the water swimmable and safe will depend on the analysis results. You can buy chemicals from pool supply stores, hardware and home improvement stores, or buy them on the internet.
Always make sure that the filtration and circulation systems are running. Every day, remember to clean the filter. In addition, the water has to have extra chlorine added to it.
You can remove the pool cover when the water is clear. This takes place 7 days after you add the pool chemicals. Make sure you take care when removing the pool cover. Place it somewhere flat and safe after removing any debris or dust. To prevent the buildup of mildew and mold, wait for the cover to dry before dusting it with talcum powder. The cover should be stored in a cool, dry place during the off-season.
There are a lot of leaves and other trash accumulating on the bottom of the pool, so it’s time to vacuum it. You may consider investing in an automatic pool cleaning machine to make your life a little easier. Robotic vacuums and scrubbers are ideal for helping remove dirt and debris from the pool’s floor. Look for robotic pool cleaners that don’t require a filtration system, booster pool pump, or garden hose to be attached to.
In order to remove debris from the water, you’ll need a long-handled pool net.
Swimming pool safety is a key problem in a lot of communities. You can check your swimming pool’s conformity with municipal regulations by contacting your local building and code departments. Most cities and municipalities impose or recommend the following requirements or recommendations:
