Are you eager to get your pool ready for the season? Many fellow pool owners won’t do this until at least April, or late May. However, there are ways to get your pool ready for use in springtime, which is perfect, as the beginning of spring is fast-approaching! Using your pool during spring can help you to get the full benefits of owning a pool for yourself, and will maximize the length of the swimming season. You’ll be able to enjoy your pool longer, and that’s something we all want. Here’s how you can get your pool ready for use in the spring.
1. Remove and clean the pool cover.
Obviously, you’ll need to remove the pool cover if you want to use your pool. However, it’s important to clean your cover, as well. During the winter, moisture and grime has built up on your cover, making it more prone to growing mold and nasty algae on the surface. Clean your pool cover the way you normally do, and this should prepare it for the spring season, should you need to utilize it at any point. Remember: make sure it dries completely before you store it away!
2. Remove freeze plugs and reassemble components.
From your skimmers and wall returns, remove the freeze plugs you installed in the beginning of the season. Be sure to throw them away if they show any signs of rotting or cracking–you don’t want to use this faulty equipment for another season. Then, reassemble your components, such as your pump, filter and heater. Don’t over-tighten any of the pipes or connectors, and test each one before you use them fully.
3. Check water balance.
It’s probably going to be a few days before you can actually swim, because you’re going to want to level your water balance completely, which might include using harsher chemicals. Until your water quality is back to normal, you shouldn’t be using your pool! And the winter has given the water plenty of time to deregulate, making it unsafe for use. This is the last step you’ll need to take before you can start swimming for the season.
