Key Steps to Properly “Open” Your Pool

Remove & Store the Pool Cover

Carefully remove your pool cover, ensuring debris doesn’t fall into the water. Clean and dry the cover thoroughly before storing it to prevent mold and mildew growth.

Inspect Your Pool & Equipment

First, check your water levels to ensure it is appropriate; refill it if necessary. Second, inspect for damage. Be sure to look for cracks or leaks in the pool structure. Lastly, examine your equipment for any visible issues or wear.

Clean Your Pool

Start by skimming the surface to remove leaves and debris. Use a pool vacuum to clean the bottom and brush the walls to eliminate any dirt or algae buildup.

Balance Your Pool Chemistry

First, test the water for the proper pH, alkalinity, and chlorine levels. If they are not correct, adjust the levels as needed to achieve the proper balance.

Inspect Pool Safety Features

Safety is always our number one priority. Always ensure fencing, gates, and lates surrounding the pool are secure and functioning. Confirm all pool alarms and other safety devices are working and in order.

Run the Filtration System

Run your pool’s filtration system continuously for at least 24 hours. This helps circulate water, filter out debris, and distribute chemicals evenly.

Four Common Mistakes to Avoid

Skipping the Inspection

One of the most critical steps in opening your pool is inspecting it thoroughly. Neglecting to check the equipment and pool structure can result in overlooked issues like leaks, cracks, or equipment malfunctions. These problems can worsen over time and lead to expensive repairs, disrupting your swim season.

Starting the System Without Cleaning

Firing up your pool’s filtration and circulation systems before removing debris from the water can lead to clogs and strain on the equipment. This mistake can shorten the lifespan of your pump and filter and result in unnecessary repairs or replacements.

Ignore Water Chemistry

Balancing the water chemistry is essential for both safety and cleanliness. Failing to test and adjust pH, chlorine, and alkalinity levels can cause algae blooms, cloudy water, or irritation to swimmers’ skin and eyes. An improperly balanced pool may also damage your pool’s surface and equipment over time.

Forgetting Safety Checks

Pool safety should always be a priority. Overlooking fences, gates, alarms, or other safety features can increase the risk of accidents. Ensuring these systems are in working order is crucial, especially if you have children or pets.
