What Do I Need To Do To Get My Pool Ready For The Spring?

Spring ReadyDuring the winter, you may not use your pool very much because it is too cold outside. When the temperature begins to warm up in the spring, you might be anxious to jump in the water again. At the same time, you need to make sure your pool is ready for use. Take a look at some of the steps you need to follow if you want to make sure your pool is ready for the spring.

Skim And Vacuum Your Pool
First, you need to skim and vacuum the pool. Skimming the pool is important for removing large debris from the surface. Then, make sure you vacuum the pool to remove smaller debris that might be lurking at the bottom. You need to get rid of this debris before it clogs your filters. Otherwise, it could make the cleaning task more difficult and costly.

Test And Adjust The Pool Water
Next, you should test and adjust the pool water. You need to measure the chlorination level and pH level of the pool water. You might also need to invest in some chemicals to kill mold, mildew, and algae that might have grown in your pool during the winter. Keep in mind that you should re-test the pH and chlorine levels if you add algaecide to the water.

Clean All Pool Accessories
Do not forget to thoroughly clean all pool accessories as well. If you have ladders leading into the pool, make sure you clean them well. If you have water slides or diving boards, ensure you scrub them thoroughly. You should also clean any accessories you have on the pool deck. 

Reach Out To The Pros For Maintenance
Finally, do not forget to reach out to professionals for routine maintenance. Even though you have probably done a great job getting your pool ready for use, there are some tasks that need to be handled by professionals. This could include cleaning your pool filters, taking a look at your water pump, and investigating your water heater. You do not want any of these parts to break in the middle of the summer, so make sure they are ready to go by getting them maintained.
