Summer is right around the corner, and nothing beats a clean, sparkling pool on a hot day. A little preparation now can make all the difference in keeping your pool safe, clear, and ready for fun all season long.
Start with a thorough cleaning—skim debris, brush walls, and vacuum the floor to remove buildup from the off-season. Next, inspect your equipment. Check your pump, filter, and connections to ensure everything is running smoothly and efficiently.
Water chemistry is key. Keep your pH between 7.2–7.6, chlorine at 1–3 ppm, and alkalinity within 80–120 ppm. Proper balance not only keeps your water clear but also protects your pool surfaces and equipment. Don’t forget to shock your pool to eliminate bacteria and contaminants before heavy use begins.
Make sure your water level is at the midpoint of your skimmer and run your pump 8–12 hours daily to maintain circulation.
With just a few simple steps, your pool will be ready for a safe and enjoyable summer. If you’d rather leave it to the professionals, M&R Pool Service, LLC is here to help—so you can spend less time working and more time swimming.
