Steps to Prepare Your Pool for Spring

1. Remove Debris

• Start by clearing any leaves, twigs, or dirt from your pool cover and surrounding area.
• Carefully remove the pool cover and clean it before storing it for the season.

2. Refill and Balance Water Levels

• Add water to bring the pool back to the proper level.
• Test the water’s pH, alkalinity, and chlorine levels, and adjust as needed to ensure safety and clarity.

3. Inspect Pool Equipment

• Check the condition of your pump, filter, heater, and other equipment. Look for wear or damage that could affect performance.

4. Clean the Pool Interior

• Skim the water, brush the walls, and vacuum the floor to remove debris and prevent algae growth.

5. Shock the Pool

• Add a shock treatment to eliminate any lingering bacteria and ensure the water is safe for swimming.

6. Run the Filtration System

• Turn on your filtration system and let it run for 24–48 hours to circulate the water and remove contaminants.
