Memorial Day Weekend is basically the unofficial start of pool season

Before everyone shows up:
✔ Make sure your water is balanced
✔ Empty skimmer baskets
✔ Clean filters and check circulation
✔ Stock up on pool essentials
✔ Set out the floats, towels, and chairs

Because nothing ruins a pool weekend faster than cloudy water or equipment issues halfway through the party.

The goal this weekend?
Less maintenance. More memories.

Cloudy or green pool water at the start of the season?

One of the best things you can do during pool opening is let your filter run continuously until the water is completely clear.

A few simple habits can also help keep your water sparkling all season long:
✔ Keep filters, pumps, and skimmer baskets clean
✔ Check and empty baskets regularly
✔ Make sure water is circulating properly
✔ Test chlorine levels if water appears green or has an odor

Most water clarity problems start small and staying ahead of maintenance can make a huge difference before summer gets busy ☀️
