uncovering the pool and getting it ready for use. The sunshine and good weather make us all want to take a
dip . Before jumping in, it's a good idea

don't clean themselves , and after several months of inactivity, they need
to be re-prepared. In this post, we'll remind you how.
How to prepare the pool correctly

some very general advice that should apply to most pools. It will also depend on whether your
maintenance system is automatic or manual . Automatic cleaners are useful for those who don't have much time to care for their pool. Most pools already come equipped with this system, so we'll assume yours does too. It's important to remember that
cleaning depends not only on the automatic pump or filtration system, but also on the application of chemicals, such as chlorine. Regulating these amounts is
up to you .
