Summer is almost here, and here’s how to make your swimming pool summer-ready and attractive. With a little care and attention, you can ensure that your pool is clean, safe, and inviting all summer long.
Here are some tips on how to make your swimming pool summer-ready:
Clean Your Pool Cover and Remove it
If you have a winter pool cover, remove it and clean it thoroughly before storing it away for the season. This will help to prevent dirt and debris from building up on the cover and contaminating your pool water when you open it up.
Inspect and Clean Your Pool Equipment
Check your pool filter, pump, and heater to make sure they are in good working order. Clean them thoroughly, and replace any worn or damaged parts.
Fill Your Pool to the Proper Level
If you lost water over the winter, refill your pool to the proper level. Be sure to check your pool’s owner’s manual for instructions on how to fill it properly.
Clean your pool
Once your pool is filled, it’s time to clean it up. Brush the walls and bottom of the pool to remove any dirt or debris. You may also want to vacuum the pool to remove any fine particles.
Test and Balance Your Pool Water
It’s important to test your pool water regularly to make sure that the chemical levels are balanced. This will help to keep your pool water clean and safe for swimming. You can test your pool water yourself using a test kit, or you can bring a sample of your pool water to a pool store for testing.
Shock your pool
Shocking your pool is a way to kill any bacteria or algae that may have accumulated in the water. This is especially important if you didn’t open your pool for a while over the winter. You can shock your pool using a chlorine shock or a non-chlorine shock.
Start using your pool!
Once your pool is clean and the chemical levels are balanced, you’re ready to start using it! Be sure to follow your pool’s owner’s manual for instructions on how to operate and maintain your pool properly.
