If you operate a commercial pool, you will have to begin planning for the opening of the pool weeks in advance. February is not too soon to start making plans since pool service companies book up early. If you don’t want to be the last to open your pool, get ahead of the crowd.
First, check your pool supplies for expiration dates and replace any that are not current. Remove all of the debris that has fallen on top of the cover and pump off any water that is standing on the cover. Remove the cover carefully to make sure no remaining debris falls into the pool, and allow it to dry before you put it away.
Connect the pump, filter, and any other equipment. You are ready to set up the pool area with diving boards, ladders, and other devices. Connecting the equipment is best done by a professional to ensure everything is in proper working order.
You will then need to check the chemical levels of the water and add what is needed to get the right balance. If you are not sure what this entails, you can contact a professional pool management services company to do the testing and adjusting for you. They will also come back periodically to make sure the balance does not change.
If you operate a public pool, you will be required to get an inspection by a licensed inspector in order to operate for the summer. You can have a pool service company do all of these tasks and manage your pool through the entire season so that you can simply enjoy it.
