Getting Your Pool Back in Shape

After The Cold Winter

Ah, the winter months have passed, and spring is finally here! For pool owners, this means it’s time to dust off the patio furniture and get that pool back into sparkling shape. At SunSouth Carolinas, we understand the importance of preparing your pool for the warmer days ahead. Here’s your comprehensive guide on how to get your pool ready for the season:

1.  Clean and Remove Debris:

The first step is to remove any debris that has accumulated over the winter months. Use a skimmer net to clear leaves, twigs, and other debris from the surface of the water.


2.  Check and Balance Chemical Levels:

Test the water to ensure that the pH, chlorine, and alkalinity levels are balanced. Proper chemical balance is crucial for maintaining clear and safe pool water.


3.  Inspect and Clean Filters:

Check all pool equipment, including pumps, heaters, and cleaners, for any signs of damage or wear. Replace or repair any damaged parts to ensure optimal performance.


4.  Inspect Equipment:

The first step is to remove any debris that has accumulated over the winter months. Use a skimmer net to clear leaves, twigs, and other debris from the surface of the water.


 5.  Shock the Pool:

Give your pool a shock treatment to eliminate any bacteria or algae that may have accumulated over the winter. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for proper shock dosage and application.


 6.  Brush and Vacuum:

Brush the walls and floor of your pool to remove any algae or buildup. Use a vacuum to clean the bottom of the pool and remove any remaining debris.


 7.  Monitor Water Levels:

Check the water level in your pool and ensure that it is at the appropriate level for optimal skimmer and pump operation.


 8.  Inspect Surrounding Area:

Inspect the area surrounding your pool for any damage or hazards. Repair or replace any loose tiles, decking, or fencing to ensure a safe and beautiful outdoor space.



With these steps, you can ensure that your pool is ready for the upcoming swim season.
