As the springtime weather warms, it’s time to start planning how to get your above ground pool ready for your family’s use. From clearing your pool deck to ensuring your pool chemicals are properly balanced, there are several essential pool maintenance steps that should be taken to get your pool ready for warm weather outdoor entertainment. Above ground pool owners in Pennsylvania, Florida, Georgia, Texas, and throughout the United States are invited to follow these key steps to getting your pool ready for warm-weather use this spring!
The first step to getting your above ground pool ready for springtime use is to clear away debris from your pool deck. At this point, it is also time to carefully remove your winter pool cover and clean it before storing it away for the season.
Next, you will want to remove any debris that may have been collected in the pool over the winter. This is a great opportunity to check for any cracks, leaks, or other damage that may have occurred to your pool liner, pool pump, or other areas of your above ground pool during the off-season. You should also check your pool filter and clear away any leaves or other debris that may have accumulated during the winter months.
A major part of keeping your pool safe for use is to be sure your pool chemicals are balanced properly. Once you are sure your pool equipment is in good working order, it is time to test your pool’s water chemistry and adjust the pH, alkalinity, and sanitizer levels as needed to ensure the pool water is safe and balanced. This is also the time to shock your pool with a chlorine-based shock treatment. The shock treatment is helpful in eliminating any bacteria and other contaminants that may have built up in your pool water over the winter.
After adding all of your pool chemicals, you should run your pool filter for at least 24 hours to ensure the water is properly circulated and filtered. After allowing the water and chemicals to circulate and filter, it is a good idea to test your water chemistry once more to be sure all pool chemicals are correctly balanced before swimmers enter the water.
Once your above ground pool is clean, free of debris, and properly balanced, it’s time for you, your family, and friends to enjoy your pool. Savor the springtime weather knowing that the proper pool maintenance has been completed.
