When is the right time to open or close my swimming pool?
When to open and close your pool is really up to you. However, we recommend closing the pool before Kansas City gets hit with freezing temperatures. Although the plumbing will be fine with the pump on, there is always the risk of losing power, which could lead to serious damage to the pool’s filtration equipment.
When is the right time to open or close my swimming pool?
The best way to prevent your pool from turning green is to open your pool in early spring, such as April, and to open and close your pool when the water temperature is 65 degrees or less. Closing your pool at this temperature will help to minimize or prevent algae growth during the colder months when the pool is not in use. This is also a good temperature for restarting the equipment and balancing the water when the pool is ready to open again.
It is best to have your pool opening and closing completed by a trained Bison Construction professional, as both processes are a vital part to the operational success of your swimming pool.
