As the saying goes, “spring has sprung,” and this means sprucing things up especially the swimming pool. The easiest way of course is to get a pool water delivery in Clinton and hire a pool maintenance company to do all the work. Getting the pool open is not hard; it is something that can be done by the homeowner and he or she can save some money.
There is a tendency to just focus on the pool, it is equally important to spend time on the pool surroundings. During the winter all kinds of debris will have collected, especially in and around shrubs that surround the pool. Get all this out first because if you don’t it can easily be blown into the pool once you remove the cover. While you at it; take the opportunity to prune back any shrubs or trees that may be hanging over the pool.
The next chore is to clean the debris off the pool cover. If you’re lucky the debris will be dry and all you have to do is sweep the cover and give it a spray with the garden hose. If you’re not lucky and the debris is wet and mucky, then the best solution is to rent a submersible pump to get all the water off the cover.
Removing the pool cover really is a two person job. Starting at the shallow end of the pool, each person needs to take hold of a corner and begin the process. Depending on the type of cover, there are different ways to remove the cover.
* Fan fold in three to four foot folds if the cover is solid
* Fan fold in accordion style for a mesh cover
Once the cover is removed, unfold it on a large surface, usually the driveway which has a bit of a slope. Sweep the cover well and clean it with the recommended cleaner and lots of water. Before folding it for storage, make sure it is completely dry so mold will not form while it’s in storage.
It is now time to reinstall the ladders and diving board and any other equipment which was removed for the winter period. Once everything is back in position, call for pool water delivery in Clinton and top the pool up. Give the pool bottom a good scrub, make sure all the valves are positioned properly and start the pump.
