Opening Your Pool

Most people put off the opening of their pools until the weather has changed to the point where there is a likelihood of the pool being used. Therefore, when the pool is first uncovered, the pool water is usually this ugly shade of green. So what is the natural tendency? Throw a ton of chemicals in the water to clean it up as soon as possible. This is exactly the wrong way to go about it.

Try to start a few weeks earlier in the season thereby allowing the water extra time to clear. Use lesser amounts of chemicals. By using more chemicals you may be able to clear and balance your water more quickly, however, you would be exposing the vinyl to risk. It would be much better to use fewer chemicals for a long time frame and thereby extending the life of your liner.

Remember: Less is best when adding chemicals to your vinyl lined pool.
