SILVER SERIES ABOVE-GROUND POOL | USER MANUAL

SPRING OPENING
As soon as the exterior temperature reaches 10°C (50°F) and the pool water is
completely unfrozen, it is time to restart your filtration system on your pool.
STEP 1
Clean your winter cover from any water accumulation, leaves or any dirt that would
have dropped on top of your cover. Take off your winter cover from your pool.
STEP 2
Reposition your filtration system in place and reconnect the hoses to the skimmer
and water return.
STEP 3
Fill the pool with water so that the level reaches the middle of the skimmer.
Check your pool to make sure there is no apparent rust or leaks, especially around
the skimmer and water return. If you see a problem, proceed with repairs as soon
as possible.
STEP 4
Clean the bottom of the pool by vacuuming the leaves and dirt. Set the filter to
“DRAIN” to clean without the water having to go through the filter. By setting
to “DRAIN” the sand in your filter will stay clean and delay the “CLEAN” operation
to later.
Do not empty water completely from the pool unless it is necessary. If you must do
so, do not leave the pool empty for a long period. A sun exposed liner can shrink and
dry. The structure can move if exposed to very windy conditions while the pool is
empty and create a hazardous condition.
STEP 5
Adjust the water parameters of your pool. Contact your local dealer for recommen-
dation on various chemical products to be added in the water for the season open-
ing of your pool.
Make sure the skimmer and water return do not leak. Any leaks could rust the wall
and seriously damage the structure of your pool.
Never pour chemical products through the skimmer. This could cause major
problems and long term damage to your filtration system.
