Check the Chemical Levels: Test the water chemistry using a pool testing kit to ensure the pH, chlorine, and alkalinity levels are within the recommended range. Adjust as necessary to maintain balanced water chemistry, which is essential for swimmer comfort and water clarity.
-
Inspect Equipment: Check your pool's filtration system, pump, and other equipment to ensure everything is in good working order. Clean or replace filters as needed and schedule any necessary maintenance or repairs to avoid disruptions during the summer months.
-
Safety First: Don't forget to inspect and maintain safety equipment such as pool covers, fences, and alarms to prevent accidents and keep your pool area secure, especially if you have children or pets.
