About This Video
Getting your pool ready for the Australian spring? This laid-back checklist covers everything you need for a sparkling, swim-ready pool — without the hard work.
Video Script & Key Takeaways
1. Inspect and Remove the Winter Cover
Check for debris, tears, and water accumulation before removal. Clean the cover and store it dry to prevent mold and mildew during the swimming season.
2. Check Equipment and Plumbing
Inspect pumps, filters, and plumbing for winter wear. Replace worn O-rings, gaskets, and cracked hoses. Run the system briefly to check for leaks.
3. Brush, Vacuum, and Scrub
Thoroughly brush walls, floor, steps, and waterline. Vacuum to waste for heavy debris. For the easiest results, deploy an Aiper robotic cleaner to do the scrubbing for you.
4. Balance Water Chemistry
Test all levels — pH, chlorine, alkalinity, calcium, and CYA. Adjust in the right order: alkalinity first, then pH, calcium hardness, and finally chlorine and stabilizer.
5. Shock and Enjoy
Shock the pool with chlorine or a non-chlorine alternative, run the pump for 24 hours, then test again. Once levels are perfect — crack open a cold one and jump in. 🍻
