Tips for Having Your Swimming Pool Prepared For This Summer Of Fun!

Welcome to the sunny days of early summer in the Freeport, IL, Rockford, IL, and Stateline Areas! It's time to get your swimming pool ready for the season with SwingnSplash. Here’s a step-by-step guide to ensure your pool is sparkling and safe:


  1. Remove and Clean the Pool Cover: Start by carefully removing the pool cover. Clean it thoroughly to remove any debris and let it dry before storing it to avoid mildew. Consider using Bioguard STOW AWAY for preserving your pool cover during storage. 

  2.   Inspect and Clean the Pool Area: Before filling your pool, inspect it for any signs of damage or wear. Clean the surfaces, skimmer, and filters to ensure           they are free of debris and operational.

  3.   Balance Your Water Chemistry: Proper chemical balance is crucial for a clean and safe swimming environment. Begin by testing the alkalinity and                  adjusting as necessary, followed by pH levels, and finally calcium hardness to protect your equipment and ensure comfort for swimmers. Please                    bring a sample to SWINGNSPLASH for a free water analysis and expert advice.

  4.   Safety Equipment Check: Make sure all safety equipment, including life rings, ropes, and signs are in place and in good condition. Check that all pool            ladders, rails, and diving boards are securely attached and safe for use.


Following these steps not only prepares your pool for a fun and relaxing summer, but also extends its life and efficiency. SwingnSplash is here to help every step of the way—from opening services to ongoing maintenance. Stop by or call us today!
