The arrival of spring brings with it alot of great things, Including freshly blossomed plants and trees, sunlight and warmer weather, greenery and vitality of nature. For swimmers, this hot weather means reopening their pool. To use the pool, sunlight alone is not enough, and the pool, pool water and pool equipment must be prepared in terms of safety, cleanliness and health. No matter what happens in your pool, you can reopen your pool in no time by following the steps below. To reopen the pool, do the following:
Whether you use a permanent cover for your pool or a winter cover, you should remove the top surface of the cover and clean your pool cover. Clean your pool cover of all leaves and debris. This will no longer land debris and leaf debris in the pool. If you have a safety cover, start by cleaning the remnants inside the cover with a pool brush or a leaf cleaner. Carefully pull one part at a time into the clean part of the pool deck. Fold the fan seamlessly, accordion. Use a leaf blower or garden hose to clean before creating any new creases. When everything is on the deck, fold the cover in half, fold it in half again and then wrap it tightly. Stick it in the lid bag, like a big pillow on a bigger pillow and put it on a chair to dry. If possible, keep indoors or use moths or bags of mint to keep rodents away. When removing the pool cover, you may need help if you have a large pool or are working with a safety cover. If a little debris ends up in the pool, it will not be a problem because before you start swimming, you will sweep and shock the pool.
Pool cleaning
Preliminary cleaning after opening the pool is very important. Be sure to brush the tiles and walls of the pool first, then use a spatula or scraper to clean the surface, and finally use a connected vacuum and hose to clean the bottom of the pool. If you have an automatic pool cleaner, brush your pool well, but wait for the chlorine level to drop before applying chlorine. Cleaning the pool recovers its chemicals. As a result, you first clean the pool and then add chemicals. Start by cleaning the pool deck. After cleaning the upper part and collecting a large number of lower leaves, use a semi-automatic pool vacuum cleaner. Remember to get rid of debris as much as possible before adding chemicals and brushing the pool.
Increase pool water
Use a garden hose to fill the pool. The water level of the pool should reach the standard level of your pool and reach the mouth of the pool.
Launching the pool in the spring, re-installing the pool equipment
To operate the pool equipment, each part of the pool must be inspected and commissioned separately. Below you can see the launch of each section:
Secure hand ladders and rails in deck sockets. Remove all branches from the back of the wall, cleaning lines and spatula. Replace the skimmer basket and return eyeball fittings. Take out the pool cleaner and pull the hose straight down the deck, but do not attach it yet. Inspect diving board bolts or sliding bases and ladders for safety. Securely attach the floor drain cap.
At the pump
Replace the drain plugs of the pump and filter and the heater or chlorine. Place the pressure gauge on the tip of the filter tank, with Teflon tape. Open all closed valves and place the filter valve in the filter position. Check that the filter nets or cartridges are inside the tank and that the filter clamp band is tight. If you have a two-way pressure relief valve, touch the O-ring on the pump door and go to the piston ring rings.
System setup
System setup will be different for each system. First of all, if you have a multi-purpose valve that can send water to the "waste", choose that setting. By doing this, you prevent winter water from getting dirty in your filter. Open the dishwasher hose and pump the water. If you have prepared your pool for freezing temperatures, you will need to reconnect your pool equipment. This includes filters, pumps, heating systems, and anything else you may have connected to your filtration system. For ground pools, you need to connect flexible piping to the pool equipment and amazing pool skimmer. If you have an air relief valve on your filter, be sure to open it to get air out of the system. Close the air relief valve after the water comes out. Check equipment for leaks or unusual noises.
Maintain the chemical balance of pool water
Use high quality pool test kits to check the chemical balance of the pool water. A good test kit tests chlorine, pH, water hardness, water alkalinity. Calculate the amount of chlorine and hardness and acidity and water alkalinity according to the chemical level of the water and the volume of water. If you follow your winter pool maintenance tips when closing your pool for the winter, the chemical balance of your pool water should not be too disturbed and all you have to do is use a quality algae cleaner to Use to eliminate pool algae.
While your pool pump is running, test your pool water for pH, total alkalinity (TA) and chlorine content with a test kit. The ideal level should be as follows:
pH pool water: 7.4 to 7.6
Total alkalinity (ppm): 80 to 120
Free chlorine (ppm): 2 to 4
Calcium hardness (ppm): 200 to 400
Proper water balance is essential as a necessity for safe and healthy swimming. You can control the pH and chlorine levels in your water by adjusting the total alkalinity. Increasing or decreasing TA endangers the health of the pool water and should be controlled. Adjust the pH of the pool water. Adjust the pH balance in the appropriate range of 80-120 ppm when TA is inside. When the TA returns to ideal, test the PH. The acceptable range is 7.2-7.8 and the ideal range is 7.4-7.6. Adjust calcium hardness. The hardness level of your pool calcium should always be above 150 ppm.
Checking for leaks in the pool and its equipment
Check the pool system and if you see a water leak, turn off the system and find the leak. Check the pipes. Small cracks or leaks in the plumbing are fixed with pool sealants and pool putty. However, if the cracks are large or the damaged areas cannot be repaired, the damaged part of the pipes and fittings must be replaced. In underground pools, skimmers are common areas for leaks. Take a look at where the plastic spatula hit the pool wall. Cracks in the gypsum mixture around the concrete spatula or rusty stains around the vinyl liner may indicate a leak. If you see debris in these areas, this is another leaking sign of a pool spatula. Use epoxy putty or pool gypsum mixture to repair concrete skimmers, and use vinyl patch kits for vinyl skimmers or repair skimmer front panel washers to eliminate leaks.
Remember to check for pool heater gas leaks as well. If it smells like gasoline, turn off your system immediately. After sufficient time to clear any gas, use a mixture of dish soap and water to spray the gas line into the heater and the tube leading to the pilot's light.
Add shock to the pool
Shock in the pool kills germs and contaminants left in the water. Shock the pool with a chlorine shock such as Leslie’s Power Powder Plus 73 or Leslie’s Chlor Brite. Always read the instructions to determine how much product to add to your pool. If you have an automatic pool cleaner, you can reinstall the cleaner 24 hours after the shock.
Finally
In order to have a good reopening and to manage and enjoy your spring pool properly, you should have regular water tests and a cleaning program, so that you do not have to worry about major water treatments or repairs. DJ Money Market (Saina Refinery Aria) is proud to provide you with all the equipment needed to open your spring pool, including water test kits, pool water chemicals and all pool equipment to start cleaning and clarity and water safety.
