Tips for Getting Your Pool Ready for Spring
Now that the warmer weather is beginning to make its way back to our area, it’s time to get your swimming pool ready for a long spring and summer season. Here are a few steps you can take to start off right.
1. Stock Up On All the Chemicals You’ll Need
Make sure you have all needed chemicals before starting, including chlorine and algaecide. If you’re unsure, stop by Patriot Pool and Spa and we can help make sure you have everything you need.
2. Pool Equipment
Double check all your equipment. Make sure your pump and filter is connected properly. It is always a good idea to lubricate any and all o-rings. This will minimize cracking and drying out issues. Check your debris baskets for any issues.
3. Swimming Pool Debris
Now is the time to remove any large debris from the pool. Do not attempt to vacuum larger debris unless you have a suitable bag, as it will only lead to problems. Once the large debris has been removed, you may begin the process of vacuuming.
4. Shocking the Pool
Once the pool has been cleaned of all debris, it’s time to shock the pool. Shocking the pool is the process of using more than the normal requirement of chlorine. Follow the guide on your chemicals and allow the pool water to circulate for 24 hours. If you have questions regarding the best shock treatment, feel free to contact us any time.
5. Pool Chemistry
Once the pool has circulated for 24 hours, you will need to check the water stability. This involves checking the pH balance, hardness, as well as the salinity of your swimming pool water.
6. Enjoy
Once the hard work is done, your swimming pool is clean and you can now relax in your own personal oasis.
Spring is one of the best times to enjoy the pool with your family. Make sure to apply all safety precautions and prepare all necessary things to ensure that you will be able to enjoy your pool to the fullest. Please contact us with any questions you have!
