About This Video
In this episode of the Aiper Pro Club, we walk through everything you need to do to open your pool for swim season — the right way, the first time.
Video Script & Key Takeaways
1. Step 1: Remove the Cover Carefully
Pump standing water off the cover before removing it. Clean and store the cover dry to prevent mold. Inspect for tears so you can replace it before next winter.
2. Step 2: Inspect Equipment and Plumbing
Check pumps, filters, heaters, and all plumbing connections for winter damage. Replace worn O-rings, gaskets, and cracked hoses before filling.
3. Step 3: Fill and Prime the System
Top off water to mid-skimmer level. Prime the pump, open all valves, and check for leaks as the system pressurizes. Listen for unusual noises.
4. Step 4: Shock, Test, and Balance
Super-chlorinate (shock) to burn off any contaminants that accumulated over winter. Run the pump for 24 hours, then test and balance all chemical levels before the first swim.
