It is time to get your pool ready with the summer season approaching. Summer is the perfect time to make full use of your house pool.
If your swimming pool has been inactive all winter, there are some things you will need to do to ensure you can use it easily and safely. Read below on how to get your pool ready for the summer.
GET YOUR POOL READY FOR THE SUMMER
Vacuuming the pool water
With the help of a pool vacuum and a pole, you can clean up any debris or leaves that have been sitting over the water over the cold season. It is also best to check the water health, to ensure the longevity of the pool.
Don’t Drain Out Your High-Water Table Pool
If you have a high-water table pool, then you should not empty the water in it. This is because it can lead to the pool completely coming out of the ground and you need to get a new one.
What you can do is give it a nice wash. Here you can hire the services of a professional swimming pool company who can carefully and effectively do the job for you.
Checking And Cleaning The Pool Filter
Clean the pool filter before turning it on, especially if you have cleaned the water. The best way is to remove the cartridge and give it a deep rinse with the hose. If it’s a D.E. filter, may be a bit complex. If it’s a sand filter, you will need to give it a backwash, which will clean it and return it to its normal setting.
Professional Testing of the Water
If you are unsure about the pool water, then you can get your water professionally tested. This allows for safe use of the swimming pool for the entire season.
Regular Cleaning of the Pool
Lastly, till your water appears clear and in pristine condition, keep cleaning the filter. You may also add chlorine to kill any germs and sanitize the water.
