Cooler Climates:
If the winter could transform your pool into a skating pond (or almost), you
have a little more work to do.
1. Remove any water or debris that has accumulated on your pool cover.
2. Take off your
pool cover. Be sure to clean it thoroughly before storing (Try our POOLIFE™
Cover Cleaner). Otherwise the cover may mildew.
3. Hook up the pool
pump and filter. Reconnect any hoses and electric connections that may have
been detached. Follow manufactures directions.
4. Be sure your
skimmer, filter, pumps, drains, and any other equipment are clean and free
of debris. Follow manufacturers’ directions.
5. Use a leaf
skimmer to scoop up all surface and submerged debris.
6. If your pool
walls are dirty, you should clean them with a brush immediately.
7. Bring the pool
water up to the proper level, about 3 to 4 inches above the bottom of the
skimmer flap.
8. Make sure all
your hoses and electrical hookups are in order. Follow manufacturers
directions.
9. Turn on your
filter pump.
10. Check the
skimmers, bottom drains, and filters to make sure they are functioning
properly.
11. Vacuum any
remaining debris to waste.
Preparing
the Pool Water
1. Test your pool
water. Use our Water Testing feature to help determine your pool water’s
needs.
2. Make any necessary adjustments. See “Water Balancing” for assistance.
3. Shock treat the
pool water using your preferred POOLIFE™ Shock.
4. Add POOLIFE™
Stabilizer/Conditioner to the water if needed.
