Opening Your Pool
Most people put off the process of opening their pools
until it is time for it to be used. Therefore, when the
pool is first uncovered, the pool water is usually an ugly shade of
green. So what is the natural tendency? Throw a ton of chemicals in
the water to clean it up as soon as possible. This is exactly the
wrong way to go about it.
Try to start a few weeks earlier in the season. This
allows the correct amount of chemicals to clear water over
time. Using less chemicals will yield a better result and
save money. By using more chemicals you may be able to clear and
balance your water more quickly, however, you would be exposing the
vinyl to risk. It is better to use fewer chemicals over a longer
time frame and extend the life of your liner.
Remember: Less is best when adding chemicals to your
vinyl-lined pool.
