Opening Your Swimming Pool

There is no absolute method for opening a swimming pool. Because swimming pools pot mark landscapes across the country, there is no one method exclusively used. With the varieties of swimming pools and their locations, we can’t pinpoint a certain method for opening your swimming pool for spring, but we can make a generic list of necessary steps the majority of pool owners follow.

Step 6- Remove the Pool Cover

 Drain as much water off the top of the cover as you can to make removal of your cover easier. This task is made simple with the a winter cover pump.

To avoid yard debris from falling into your pool, exercise patience and remove your cover slowly. Its always a good idea to thoroughly wash and rinse your pool cover afterward. Using regular soap and water will help extend your cover’s lifetime. Drying the cover thoroughly will prevent any unwanted molds to flourish during your cover’s storage.

Step 7 - Connect Your Equipment

 Since you already did an inventory of all missing items this will be a breeze. If your filtration system was cleaned before closing your pool in the fall, then attach the hoses and open all valves. If your system needs to be cleaned or the sand needs to be replaced, now is the best opportunity to do so.

We suggest following all manufacturer guidelines to prepare your pool pumps, filters, and pool heaters. Double check that your o-rings are lubricated for use with water-based lubricants. Double check your skimmers and lint pots are free of debris. If you used an anti-freeze for your lines, make sure to vacuum those lines clean.
