3 Easy Steps to Get Your Pool Ready for Memorial Day Weekend
Pool owners in the Chicago-land area normally target Memorial Day Weekend to get their pool opened for the summer swimming pool season.
Although cold temperatures and rain have lasted into May, the sun is sure to break through soon. Now’s a great time to start the preparations. Follow these three easy steps to get your pool ready for Memorial Day weekend.
Before you know it, you’ll host the neighborhood’s best pool party!
#1: Get Your Pool Ready for Water Care Treatment
- Check your equipment
- Remove and properly treat your cover for storage throughout the summer months
- Vacuum any debris that has collected during the winter months
- Turn on pump and allow water to circulate for 24 hours before testing the water
- Bring us a water sample for analysis and recommendations
#2: Add Recommended Chemicals to Balance Water
- There are some great new products from BioGuard available to help jump start your pool such as Pool Opening Complete and Algae Complete. Added enhancers and clarifiers give water an extra boost to clear contaminants and lingering organics.
- Make sure your pool is holding chlorine and your pH and alkalinity levels are stable.
- Give yourself some time to adjust levels if needed so the pool water has time to balance out prior to the big day!
#3:Register for the Tru-Blue Promise and Never Worry About Algae in Your Pool Again
- If you use BioGuard’ s 3-step program, this is a no-brainer.
- By using these proven products and following our advice, the chances of algae are dramatically reduced, and you’ll have spectacular looking water all season long.
- But the best part is that if you’re loyal to the Promise and you still end up with algae, we’ll give you everything you need to fix it for FREE.
- Free to join, simply stop into any of our stores and complete the registration!
