How to prepare your pool for its first summer cleaning

The cold is fading away and spring is in the air.  Summer is closing in and soon it will be time to open your pool for a new season of fun and splashes.

Of course there are many things that go into opening a pool. 

Things like:

• Cleaning the cover
• Refilling the pool to the right water level (ideally to the middle of your skimmer)
• Prep your pump and filter by cleaning out the skimmers 
• Check the chemicals in your pool
  • Alkalinity (80-120 ppm)
  • PH (7.2- 7.6)
  • Calcium hardness (150 – 250 ppm)
  • Chlorine (1.0 – 3.0 ppm)
  • Cyanuric acid (30 – 50 ppm)
  • Algaecide (30 – 50 ppm)

If any levels are off, treat your pool with the appropriate chemical to reach the desired level.

It's now time to bring your robot out from the winter hibernation.  Take notice of your pool quality before putting the robot back in the pool.  Connect the robot power cord back to the power supply and lower robot into the water to let it go to work!
