Whether you are opening your pool for the first time this year or maintaining it throughout the summer, proper care and safety measures are essential.
These preventative measures can help protect family members and guests throughout the summer months.
Conduct Routine Inspections
Regularly check your pool for liner tears, leaks, rust, or other signs of deterioration. Above-ground pools should be monitored closely as metal components can wear over time.
Secure Pool Chemicals
Store all pool chemicals in a well-ventilated, dry area that is inaccessible to children.
Install Proper Pool Fencing
New Jersey law requires residential swimming pools to be enclosed by a fence at least five feet tall. Self-closing and self-latching gates provide an additional layer of protection and peace of mind.
Purchase a Pool Safety Cover
A quality safety cover helps protect your pool when not in use and prevents standing water from accumulating.
Test and Balance Water Chemistry
Test your water, adjust chemical levels as needed, and shock the pool to eliminate bacteria and protect swimmer safety.
Maintain a Clean Swimming Environment
Routine vacuuming, skimming, and debris removal improve water quality and help keep your pool looking its best all season long.
Enjoy a Safe and Stress-Free Summer
Taking the time to properly open and maintain your pool can help you avoid unexpected repairs, improve safety, and create a more enjoyable outdoor space with family and friends.
