The Ultimate Checklist

As the weather warms up, it’s time to get your pool spring-ready! Whether you handle maintenance yourself or rely on a professional, this step-by-step checklist will ensure your pool is clean, safe, and ready for swimming season.

1. Remove & Clean Your Pool Cover

If you covered your pool for winter, remove debris and wash the cover before storing it. This prevents mold and keeps it in good condition for next year.

2. Balance the Chemicals & Shock the Pool

Winter can throw off water chemistry. Test and adjust:
✅ pH Levels: Ideal range is 7.2 – 7.6
✅ Chlorine Levels: Shock your pool to eliminate bacteria
✅ Alkalinity: Keeps your pH balanced and prevents corrosion

3. Inspect & Clean Your Pool Equipment

Your pump, filter, and skimmer baskets should be checked for leaks, clogs, and wear. A professional spring inspection can catch issues before they turn into costly repairs.

4. Brush, Vacuum, & Skim Your Pool

Even with a cover, dirt and debris can build up over winter. Give your pool a deep clean to prevent algae growth.
