Spring into Action: The Best Pool Maintenance Tips for the New Season

As the weather warms and the days get longer, it’s time to get your pool ready for a season of fun in the sun. Spring pool maintenance is essential to ensure a safe, clean, and sparkling swimming environment. Here are the top pool maintenance tips to kick off the new season right.

1. Remove Pool Cover and Clean the Area
Start by carefully removing your pool cover and giving it a good rinse before storing. Clear away any debris, leaves, or dirt from the pool area to prevent them from ending up in the water.

2. Inspect Equipment and Check for Damage
Before turning anything on, inspect your pool equipment—pumps, filters, and heaters—for any signs of wear or damage. Replace broken parts or schedule professional repairs if needed.

3. Top Off the Water Level
If your pool water has dropped over the winter months, refill it to the correct level before testing and treating.

4. Test and Balance Water Chemistry
Use a reliable water testing kit to check pH, chlorine, alkalinity, and calcium hardness levels. Adjust chemicals as needed to achieve a safe and balanced pool environment.

5. Shock and Circulate
Give your pool a chlorine shock treatment to eliminate bacteria and algae. Let the system circulate for at least 24 hours to ensure even distribution.

6. Clean the Pool Thoroughly
Vacuum the pool floor, brush the walls, and empty skimmer baskets. A clean start sets the tone for an easy maintenance season ahead.

Regular maintenance throughout spring will keep your pool looking and feeling great. Don’t wait—spring into action and make a splash this season!
