Well the first day of spring has come and gone; now it is time to start preparing for the summer! Here are some quick tips on how to “open” your pool in Sonoma County!

1-Remove all debris from the pool- Leaves, sticks, and maybe your mother in law…
2-Balance the pH, Alkalinity, sanitizer and conditioner levels.
3-For Salt pools, check your Salt levels add salt if needed. We are always stocked with plenty of “Pool Salt” for your convenience.
4-Remove any Phosphates and metals with Pool Perfect+phosFREE and Intensive Stain Prevention.
5-Get your filters clean! Starting the year out with clean filters is an essential part of maintaining your pool. If your pool has poor circulation, it will be unable to properly filter out the particulates that cloud the water. If you don’t have the time or just don’t want to deal with it, feel free to call Johnson Pool and Spa for a professional filter clean!
6-Get your Solar Running! With the weather so unusually warm right now it’s not a bad idea to start the solar up right now.

Are all those valves and switches to confusing? Call Johnson Pool and Spa to do a Solar Start Up! We are here to help! If you know how to test the water and manage your equipment then use this as a friendly reminder. If you would like help with any of these items call us, email, or just stop by the store with any question or comments.
