Attention: Pool Owners With Mesh Safety Covers
As you know the weather in Cincinnati is about as predictable as a teenagers mood. With this being said with the recent rise in temperature it may have caught you off guard and unready to open your pool. However, I would suggest opening as rapidly as possible to prevent potential problems. With the rising temperatures and sunshine this will heat the water up, and allow algae growth at a rapid rate. In order to prevent this open the pool and get it up and circulating and chemicals into the system. By not doing this you will have a significantly higher amount of work to do in order to clear the water. I also recommend bringing a water sample in, to have it tested and balanced. Just some food for thought.
Mesh Safety Covers
I know a lot of people out there have a mesh safety cover on their inground pool. If you have had one for a while you probably know how to handle everything when you open up in the spring, but for those that are new to mesh safety cover I have some information that might be useful. The first thing I would tell you is to open the pool up as early as you can. If you do this you will cut down on the possibility of having a really green pool when for the start of the season. Another thing to keep in mind is the fact that you need to watch the water level in your pool. If it gets to high it could cause problems. If it high undo a strap or two and pump some water out. When you do finally pull the cover off in the spring make sure you clean it well and when you fold it up store it in a dry environment away from mice. The last thing you need is to open your cover up in the fall and have it full of mildew and holes where mice have chewed through it. If you take a few precautions it will be a breeze when it comes to maintaining your pool.
