It’s summer time and the kids are ready to jump back in to their Carlton Pools magical pool.  Unfortunately it’s not as easy as just putting water back in the pool and then you’re ready.  Here is a starter list of items that you should consider when reopening you swimming pool for a new season.

1)    Cleaning Supplies. Check your cleaning supplies to make sure that they are current and nothing has expired.  With the advances in most industries, pool cleaning is not different.  Experts are always inventing a new cleaning solution that is safer for our kids, cleans better or a combo of those 2.  Check out what’s new on the market.  Carlton Pools is a great resource for supplies.

2)    Plugs and Valves. With the pool still empty, jump in and check out all the valves, drains and plugs.  If any need to be replaced, now’s the time to do it.  Your pool will function properly if you take care of these small items.

3)    Cracks and fractures.  Some types of pools crack and others show small hairline fractures.  Some cold winters cause these types of damages to your swimming pool.  If you can identify these cracks before they get too big, it might not cost you as much money to get them fixed.

4)    Filters.  Check your filter throughout the year but especially after a long winter.  Make sure that you have a clean filter in there and that it’s working properly.  The better your filter is, the cleaner your pool will be.

5)    Deck furniture.  Although this isn’t a necessity, it’s nice to have on the list of things that you check out when you begin you awesome summer.

6)    Safety. Finally, check to make sure that you pool is still safe for children and your loved ones.  Make sure that you have the proper gear such as life jackets, and other items to make your summer swimming time fun and safe.
