After opening your pool, here are a few important steps to ensure optimal performance :

1. Clean the pool :
Vacuum the bottom, scrub the walls, and remove floating debris with a skimmer net. Empty the pump and skimmer baskets regularly during the first week. Perform a backwash or clean the cartridge filter every two days during the week following the opening.

2. Test the water quality :
Use a testing kit to check pH, chlorine, alkalinity, and other essential parameters.

3. Add the necessary products :
Adjust chemical levels based on your test results. This may include chlorine, stabilizers, or pH adjusters.

4. Monitor regularly :
Test the water frequently and adjust chemical levels as needed to prevent issues such as algae or cloudy water. Check the filtration equipment daily and backwash every one to two weeks, depending on your region.

By following these steps, you’ll ensure your pool is safe, clean, and ready for fun all season long!

Have your water tested or use test strips or a test kit. The amount of chemicals to add to your pool always depends on the volume of water it contains.

To maintain healthy water, keep the following levels:

• Chlorine : 1 – 3 ppm
• pH : Between 7.2 and 7.8 
• Alkalinity : 80 – 120 ppm
• Hardness (Calcium) : 200 – 300 ppm
• Stabilizer (Cyanuric Acid) : 30 – 50 ppm

Use algaecides with a concentration of 40% or 60%, following the manufacturer's instructions. Also, make sure your filtration system is working properly.

Regular cleaning is essential to prevent debris buildup and to maintain clear water. Here is a maintenance schedule* you can use as a reference.
