Opening Your Pool Using BAQUACIL

If your pool has already been covereted to the Baquacil Pool Care System, it's easy to open it for the season. Just follow these simple steps.

STEP BY STEP

1) If you use a solid pool cover, first drian off any standing water so that it doesn't spill back into the pool Carefully remove the cover, sweep it and lay it out to dry. Use Baquacil Cover Cleaner to clean cover. Once it is thoroughly dry, fold and store the cover in a clean, dry place, out of direct sunlight. Inspect the entire pool carefully for damage that may have taken place durring the off-season especially leaks, tears in vinyl liner, or breaks and cracks in the plaster or tiles. After inspection, add water until the level reaches about halfway tp the skimmer opening. Remove any debris with a leaf net.

2) Make sure your pump, skimmer and filter are working properly. If the filter was not cleaned at the end of last season, clean it using Baquacil Filter Cleaner to remove hardened deposits which can hamper filter performance. Run the pump while you vacuum. Brush the pool thoroughly.

3) After running the pump for at least five hours, take a water sample in a clean plastic container to your pool professional for a comprehensive laboratory analysis. Your dealer will provide easy instructions to make any necessary adjustments to your pool's water balance.

4) Add Baquacil Pool Care System products to your pool
