 <\/p>\n

What\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s The Easiest Way to Open a Pool? \u00c2\u00a0<\/i><\/b><\/h3>\n

Remove any debris and water from the top of the cover that may have accumulated over the winter. Once the debris and water are taken care of, you can remove your pool cover. It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s best if you have a few people to help remove the cover. Pool covers are heavier than they look, and if you are not careful removing the cover, you could damage the pool. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

When\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s The Best Time to Open My Pool?<\/i><\/b><\/h3>\n

You\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll want a few days of consistently warm weather, where the temperature was at least 65 degrees. Keep in mind that your pool water is usually 10 degrees less than what the outside temperature is. So if you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re opening during cooler temperatures, be prepared for chilly water.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Once The Cover is Off, What Chemicals Do I Put In?<\/i><\/b><\/h3>\n

You don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t want to add any chemicals at first. Fill your pool with water until the water level is at the middle of your skimmer. Then turn on your pump and filter and let your water circulate for at least 24 hours. This lets any remaining chemicals that were in your pool at the end of the last season \u00c2\u00a0become mixed in evenly throughout the water. Then test your water to see exactly which chemicals you need. Circulating your water and then testing it is a good way to avoid buying more chemicals than are needed. If you are unable to test your water, we offer a water analysis<\/a> free of charge.<\/span><\/p>\n
