Tips from Our Experts
WHEN IS IT ACTUALLY TIME TO OPEN?
The first warm and sunny days in spring often bring a common question: When is it actually time to open my swimming pool? While there is no scientific answer to this question, we have put our 40+ years of in-depth experience into a simple rule of thumb: If your grass is growing, so is your pool, and you should be opening! If you haven't already peeked at your pool water, you should do so as soon as possible. Waiting too long to open your pool will allow algae to grow in your pool, making opening more challenging.
