TIPS FOR OPENING YOUR POOL
If opening later than May 15, open your cover in the deep end and add extra chlorine to control algae.
Safety cover owners: The sooner you open the pool, the cleaner it will be.
Store winter cover in a place where animals will not be able to nest in it or chew on it.
TIPS FOR CLOSING YOUR POOL
Do a complete water test prior to closing. A balanced pool will be much easier to open.
Tarp cover users: Check water bags. To save labor charges, fill and place them around your pool prior to our arrival.
Store solar cover in a safe place away from animals that may nest or chew on it.
Open your tablet chlorinator valve all the way to help elevate chlorine level to at least 5ppm.
