Ready to start prepping your chlorine or salt water pool for summer fun? From pool cleaning and pool maintenance to shocking your pool and adding just the right amounts of pool chemicals, this step-by-step guide includes everything you need to know to make a splash on opening day.
Whether you have a chlorine or salt water pool in your backyard, May is the perfect time to start pool cleaning and prepping for summer fun. But before you jump in, be sure to follow these important tips on how to maintain a pool so opening day goes swimmingly.
The first step is carefully cleaning your pool maintenance system and reattaching any components that you disassembled in winter. While you’re at it, clean your pool skimmer and basket, too, and remember to open all valves (if you previously plugged them). If you own a chlorine pool with a cartridge filter, clean the filter and consider replacing it if it’s old or unusually dirty. Sand and DE (diatomaceous earth) filters can be backwashed to remove debris.
