Step 1: Remove the Pool Cover & Clean Debris
- Drain water off your cover using a cover pump.
- Carefully remove the cover and hose it down before storing.
Step 2: Inspect & Reconnect Equipment
- Check pump, filter, heater, and skimmer baskets for any winter damage.
- Ensure all O-rings and gaskets are intact to prevent leaks.
Step 3: Test & Balance the Water
Use a test strip or digital kit to check:
- pH (7.2–7.6)
- Alkalinity (80–120 ppm)
- Chlorine (1-3 ppm)
💡 TIP: If you use CUA Pools’ Remote Chemical Service, your smart feeder will handle chlorine levels for you automatically!
Step 4: Shock the Pool & Circulate the Water
- Add a chlorine shock treatment to remove bacteria and algae spores.
- Run your pump for at least 24 hours to circulate chemicals evenly.
