Some time ago we mentioned that spring is the best time to prepare your pool. And it’s true. But if you haven’t gotten it ready yet, it’s time to do so: summer is here! So, before it gets too late, here are some tips to keep it in perfect condition and enjoy it every day of this new swimming season.
Before we begin, please check that there are no major defects. As you know, if needed, we can come and inspect and prepare your pool for you. Simply contact your nearest Reindesa store and we’ll be happy to assist you.
If you’re the type who likes to do things yourself, we’re going to give you a hand with some tips for getting your pool ready:
-
The cover. If you cover your pool during the winter, the first thing you should do (although yes, you should have already done it) is to carefully remove the cover to keep it in good condition and ready for later use. Therefore, it’s important to clean it thoroughly and let it dry in the sun .
-
The inspection. We’re going to check the condition of various elements : the drains, the underwater lighting, the skimmers, and the return nozzles. Once everything is ready and we’re sure it’s working correctly, we’ll move on to the next step.
-
Cleaning. Let’s get started! To begin, we can use products like DESINCRUSREIN to remove any scale buildup that may have accumulated over the winter. Next, we’ll thoroughly clean the pool with a pool cleaner , either automatic or manual. You might also need to use an algaecide to remove any algae that may have formed and settled at the bottom of the pool.
-
Water. The pool may have been covered with a tarp, but we still need to clean and inspect it. This will require various chemicals and a thorough check of the water levels .
-
Remember: The pH should be kept between 7.2 and 7.6 to protect the pool installation and avoid possible irritations for bathers.
-
If it is higher than 7.6, the disinfectant loses effectiveness.
-
If it is less than 7.2, the water may irritate the eyes and skin of bathers.

-
Last look. We check that the ladders are properly secured, and that the trampolines or any other element is securely fastened.
Enjoy!
After getting your pool perfectly ready, you just need to maintain it with chlorine, algaecide, pH stabilizers, a leaf skimmer, a good pool cleaner, water testers… You know, the usual stuff, to keep your pool as beautiful as ever.
