QUESTION: When should I open my pool for the summer?

ANSWER:

Pool opening should begin when overnight temperatures remain above freezing and daytime temperatures remain above 60 degrees.  When you are ready, BioGuard® recommends these easy steps:

1 – Remove pool cover and drain any accumulated water away from pool.

2 - Fill your pool to the middle of the skimmer opening to allow for proper circulation.

3 - Check your pump, skimmer basket and filter.

4 - Circulate pool water 24 to 48 hours, and then take a water sample to North Shore Pool & Spa for testing and analysis. Our computerized water analysis system by BioGuard provides accurate results almost instantly. You receive personalized instructions for starting the pool.

5 - Test sanitizer & pH routinely.

6 - Routine maintenance is the best way to keep your pool sparkling. And with one of BioGuard's easy-to-use care systems, it's as easy as 1-2-3!
