Opening a In Ground Pool

Taking Solid Cover off

You need to pump off all the water on the cover,

Take out all the leaves, brush down cover and hose off at the same time.

If you have a pump on top of the cover try to get the cover cleaned as the pump is taking the water off the cover.

When finished let the cover dry. When dry take the cover off.

If you want to clean the other side put the cover on the ground with the clean side down.

Hose and brush till clean.

When dry fold the cover and store in a dry closed up place so mice and aunts don’t get to it.

Taking Mesh Cover off

Use the tool that was sent with the cover to take the cover off the anchors.

Let the cover dry, fold cover and store where mice and aunts will not get to it.

Screw down all the brass anchors.

Filter, Motor & Pump

After you uncover the pool, put ladders and hand rails In place and screw them down tight.

Put all plugs back into the pump, Motor, Filter, Heater and Automatic Feeder.

If pool is clear fill the pool up so there is about 1” opening in the skimmer.

If the water is GREEN, you will have to shock and treat with algaecide.

Run the filter on recirculation till the water turns milky or is clear.

Then set the Dial valve back it filter.

If you're going to vacuum on waste or drain fill the Pool up as far as you can go.

If there is a lot of dead algae and settlement on the bottom of the pool,

you will want to vacuum on waste or drain. You don't want it to go through your filter.

 
NOTE: 
You can fill the pool up a day before you start opening it.
 

Clean lines out 

Take all the Gizzmos out of the skimmers And take all the plugs out of the returns

 Put all the Basket’s back into the skimmers and pumps.

Put all jets or eyeballs into the returns.

Now set the Dial Valve on waste or drain and prime the pump before starting the motor.

When the motor gets going let it run for 15 seconds.

This will get the anti-freeze out of most of the lines.

Do not put the dial valve on filter till you have Vacuumed the Pool and it is clean.

OR till you have shocked it and all the GREEN is gone.

The water will be milky in color.

Then you can set the Valve on filter.

If it is green you want to set the valve on recirculation till it looks like milk.

Shocking Pool
If the pool is green, Shock it with Calcium Hypo Chlorite And use a 60% Algaecide so it won’t come back.

And remember to let the filter run on recirculation till the water turns to a milky white color.

Before setting the valve on filter position.

If you want the water to clear up fast use a Flock.

It will take all the suspended solids to the bottom of the pool in 24 hours.

Then you can Vacuum on waste.

DO NOT MIX ANY CHEMICALS TOGETHER.

NOTE:

If you have a D.E. Filter don’t forget to put

In your D.E. Powder when you can set the valve on filter.

When the pool is vacuumed and clean test your water.

Make sure you keep the Chlorine level 1.5-2.0 ppm.
