PREPARING YOUR POOL IN THE SPRING
At the end of winter, allow the ice in the pool to thaw completely. When the temperature reaches
approximately 10 °C (50 °F), you have to restart your filtration system, since algae and bacterial
form more quickly as it gets warmer. Here is how to prepare your pool in a few simple easy
steps.
a. If your pool is equipped with a pool cover, remove the cover and cushion.
Carefully remove with a hose any rainwater that has accumulated on
the cover so it does not fall into your pool. Clean your cover and
cushion and let them dry. Store them in a dry clean place.
b. Attach the return inlet and skimmer to the filter. Bring the water
level up to the middle of the skimmer. Get your filter working.
Clean the bottom of the pool with the vacuum, taking care to
place the filter in the “waste/drain” position. In this way you
will eliminate particles of dirt without disturbing the sand
in the filter, and will considerably reduce the need for
“backwash rinsing” of the filter.
c. Now that you have purified the water, you have to test
it. It is very important that the pH level of your pool be
between 7.6 and 7.8 and the pool’s alkaline content
be between 80 ppm and 130 ppm. If you are unable to
attain these levels, please contact your retailer who will
gladly do these tests for you.
Important Note:
Do not drain your pool to clean the water unless absolutely necessary (the water is recyclable).
If you do empty your pool, don’t leave it empty for too long or expose it to direct sunlight, as
the liner may shrink.
