How to Properly Open Your Pool
Remove Pool Cover
Drain off any accumulated water on the cover and guide it away from your pool. Once removed, clean with BioGuard Stow-A-Way® to prevent sticking and odors. Store in a dry place, free of debris and protected from the sun and weather.
Fill Your Pool
Your pool should be filled to the middle of the skimmer opening to allow for proper circulation.
Check Your Pump, Skimmer Basket, and Filter
