Time to Dive In! Tips for Opening Your Pool for Summer

With warmer days ahead, it’s time to get your pool summer-ready! Here’s a quick checklist to help you open your pool with ease:

1. Remove the Cover
   Clear off debris, pump off any standing water, and give the cover a good clean before storing it for the season.
   

2. Inspect Equipment
   Reconnect your pool equipment—pump, filter, heater—and check for any leaks or damage from winter.
   

3. Top It Up & Clean It Out
   Refill the water level, skim debris, and vacuum the pool. Clean out the skimmer and pump baskets too.
   

4. Balance the Water
   Test and adjust your pool’s pH, alkalinity, and chlorine levels. Consider a professional water test to get started.
   

5. Let It Circulate
   Run the pump for at least 24 hours to get everything moving and the water sparkling clear.
   
   

Opening your pool properly sets the tone for a fun and stress-free summer—so dive in and enjoy!
