Get Your Pool Ready for Summer

The days are getting warmer and fruit is starting to form on the trees.  Summer is nearly here and it’s time to start using your swimming pool!

Lazy summer days in the pool with family & friends and even late night swims for one. Before you start using your pool again, though, you need to make sure that it is ready.  Apart from giving it a clean, now is a great time to maintain your pool system, making sure it is in good working order.

Who wants to have an unusable pool in the middle of summer?  No one!

So, what are some of the things you should be doing?  The most important is checking your pool filter and pool heating system, whether this is a pool heat pump or solar heating system.  Look for any external corrosion or cracks.  If you haven’t been running these during winter, turn them on and make sure they sound correct when running, and that the water pressure coming out of the water inlet is strong.  Also, check on and around your filter and heat pump, checking for any leaks.  If you have them, you can also inspect your solar panels, checking for obvious cracking.

It is also important to make sure you have enough pool treatments to keep your pool clean and healthy.  Have you run out of Chlorine?  Do you have enough testing strips to monitor your chlorine, pH, calcium hardness and cyanuric acid?
