Summer is just around the corner, and for many people, that means it's time to get their pool ready for the season. Whether you're a seasoned pool owner or a first-time pool owner, there are a few things you need to do to ensure your pool is ready for summer. In this blog, we'll go over four steps to get your pool ready for summer.

1. Clean the Pool

Before you can start enjoying your pool, you need to make sure it's clean. Start by skimming the surface of the water to remove any debris. Then, brush the walls and floor of the pool to remove any algae or dirt that has built up over the winter. Finally, vacuum the pool to remove any remaining debris.

2. Test the Water

Once the pool is clean, you need to test the water to ensure it's safe for swimming. You can purchase a pool test kit from your local pool supply store or hire a professional to do it for you. The kit will tell you the pH level, chlorine levels, and alkalinity of the water. Adjust the chemicals as needed to ensure the water is safe and balanced.

3. Check the Equipment

Before you start using your pool, you need to check all the equipment to make sure it's working properly. Inspect the pump, filter, and heater for any damage or wear and tear. Check the water level in the pool to ensure it's high enough for the pump to function correctly.
