Spring is in the air, and that means it's time to start thinking about opening your pool for the season. But before you dive in, there are a few things you need to check off your to-do list to make sure your pool is ready for summer fun. Here's a few things you should do before opening your pool.

Step 2: Safety equipment

Safety should always be a top priority, especially if you have young children or pets. Make sure your pool cover is in good condition and securely fastened. Take note of any rips or areas that look like they may need to be repaired so you can fix it as soon as the cover is removed. This is also a great time to invest in a pool alarm or safety fence if for extra security.

Step 3: Cleaning equipment

A sparkling clean pool is a must for summer enjoyment. Stock up on a good pool brush, skimmer net, and vacuum to keep your pool free of debris and algae buildup. DPSW has a great selection of robotic cleaners for all pool types to help keep your pool looking its best this season.
