As summer approaches rapidly, so does the Alabama heat that the season brings. Many people with backyard pools use their pools the most in the spring and summer to cool down from the sweltering heat and humidity that covers Alabama. Because so many Alabamians use their pool for such a long period of the year, properly preparing your pool for the season ensures that it will be ready to use at any given point during these hot summer months. 

In this blog, we will discuss the steps that should be completed to make sure that your pool is ready for the busiest pool season of the year. 

Step 1

The first step to opening your pool for the season is to remove the protective cover you should have installed and cleaning off any debris that might be resting on the pool’s cover. By ensuring that the pool cover is clean, no debris resting on the cover will get into the pool when removing it. This helps keep your Alabama pool as clean as possible. 

Step 2

The next step to preparing your Alabama pool for the swimming season is to inspect that all of your pool equipment is properly working. By checking the pool’s pump system, filters, or skimmers, you can catch any potential damage to your Alabama pool before the season begins, making sure that all maintenance can be handled before it gets used so often. 

Step 3

The next step is to remove any excess algae buildup from the pool walls and floor. This can be done by scrubbing the pool with a proper cleaning tool or by using an automated pool cleaner that can remove excess dirt and algae from the pool. 

Step 4

Another step to making sure your Alabama pool is ready for the season is to check the chlorine or salt levels of your pool, depending on which type of pool you have. By balancing these levels, your pool will be clear, safe to swim in, and you will kill any bacteria that may be in your water from the off season. 

Step 5

To make sure that the chemicals or salt additives work properly, run the pool’s filtration systems to clean any final impurities in the water and circulate the chemicals in your pool. By doing this, the pool will be in its cleanest state and ready for a season of summer fun. 

Step 6

If you find any hiccups in any of these steps, contact a professional pool service provider in Alabama to get everything fixed before the season begins so you and your family can enjoy your pool for as much time as you can!
