The first spring swallows remind of the arrival of heat, which means that it's time to check and prepare the pool for the bathing season. Do not hide, climb on a slippery bottom of the structure with the remains of water is not very pleasant occupation, but there is no other way out. There are many works to be done: clean, check, pour.

Pool after winter
Operation of the outdoor swimming pool in winter is almost non-existent and the building is covered with a protective tent. After the end of the wintering of the open pool according to the rules, the canned hydraulic structure needs preparation for the summer season, which is divided into activities for cleaning the pool bowl, water treatment and diagnostics of the filter unit and water supply equipment.
Experts recommend that the pool should be re-opened after winter and begin at night temperature, plus 5-10 degrees, when the ice is already melting naturally and can not damage the walls and bottom of the bowl.
remove expansion joints and plugs
The raskonservatsiyu begin with the inspection of the hydraulic structure and removal of winter equipment from the water: ice compensators and plugs from pipes. The equipment is laid out on the shore, removed and discarded chipped parts, left to dry and placed in a secluded dark place for the summer.
The next step is to clean the waterline of the bowl, the walls and the bottom of the pool.
cleaning the pool (step by step instruction)
Step 1. First, we clean the water mirror from the floating large debris with the help of nets.
Step 2. Then we clean the walls of the bowl with special chemical preparations using brushes on long handles.
The cleaning compound is selected for various materials of the building bowl, for example, the walls of the polypropylene basin can be cleaned using Kombileyn.
Step 3. Clean the bottom of the pool. The bottom of the pool with an impressive volume is cleaned using a water vacuum cleaner.
In addition, it is necessary to remove calcareous deposits and stains on metal parts.
Finally, the whole surface of the pool basin is rinsed, the problem areas of the coating are liquidated and repaired.
Helpful Tips
Recall that chemistry for swimming pools is an aggressive and active chemicals, so compliance with safety at work is mandatory. Work is necessary in gloves and boots, for work use plastic brushes and sponges.
change the water or not change
At this stage of preparing the pool for the summer season, many are interested in the question: "Is it worth changing the water after the re-opening?" It is desirable to drain the water from the pool of a small volume from the pipes, drop it and change it. Pipes of water-supply equipment are blown using an air compressor.
we check the equipment
Decontamination and preparation of the facility involves connecting, diagnosing and checking the equipment for the integrity of seals and connectors. To clean the filter element and pipelines, use the FILTER CLEANER and PIPELINE CLEANER.
After checking the integrity of the connecting units and pipelines, a filtration pump is connected to the sand exchanger in the filter, the heat exchanger pump, countercurrent and pool lighting.
Before the beginning of the water treatment, we transfer the filtration unit to the operating mode and turn on the electric water heater.
water treatment: algaecides, disinfector and flocculant
At the stage of water treatment, the pool after cleaning is filled with water to the middle of the skimmer (window) body and starts to test and adjust the water quality.
It is known that there are several types of water treatment using a special type of algaecide (a means of algae), which must be combined with a disinfectant. To bind the residues of organic particles into water, a flocculant is added to form colloid free particles (flakes) that are filtered off.
Helpful Tips
It is known that the permissible pH value in water is from 7.0 to 7.6. To increase or decrease the pH level, the preparation pH Plus and pH Minus (Ph-, less often Ph +) are added.
The level of free chlorine concentration is measured by a drip tester after 24 hours of operation of the filtration unit. The recommended pH / CL content should not exceed 0.3 mg / l.
By and large, the re-opening of the basin and the preparation for operation provides, after the launch, to drive all the water through the filtration unit 2-3 times, thus ensuring the best quality of water.
After starting the filtration unit and water treatment, we collect the hinged elements of the pool-ladder and attractions.
How to make a re-opening of the pool for subsequent operation, is shown here.
