Here in Northeast NJ, I know so many people who are planning on uncovering and opening their backyard oasis, that is, their swimming pool, this weekend. A home's pool can provide a great place for parties and making memories, but there are a few things to be considered in order to get it in great working order for summer.
1- Check the area- Just like our previous article about getting your backyard ready for the summer party season, you'll first want to check the ground areas that surround the pool and make sure there aren't any problems making it unsafe or dangerous for your guests or families. Check that there aren't any cracks or breaks that could cause someone to slip and fall, especially with wet feet.
2- Check the liner- one of the most significant things to think about in pool maintenance is your pool's liner. Make sure the liner is staying put in the pools coping, doesn't have any major damage from algae or weather damage and isn't stretched out. If any of the above are occurring, it may be time to consider replacing your pool's vinyl liner.
3- Remember the ABC's- There are three "ABC"'s of good pool care, remember these and your pool will be set for summer fun! - A- Maintain your pool with stabilized chlorine tablets everyday. B- Shock your pool once a week using shocking chlorine. C- The day after shocking treat your pool with a dose of Algaecide.
