Essential Spring Pool Prep Checklist

Here are the core steps recommended by our certified pool technicians at M&M Pool & Spa Services:

1. Remove Pool Cover and Clean the Area

• Get rid of debris and standing water from the pool cover before removal
• Carefully fold and store the cover in a dry location
• Sweep and clean the surrounding pool deck and furniture

2. Inspect Pool Equipment

Spring pool prep requires checking the health of your system components:

• Inspect and reconnect your pump, filter, and heater
• Look for any visible damage or leaks
• Clean the skimmer and pump baskets
• Replace worn gaskets or O-rings if needed

3. Refill and Rebalance Water

• Add water to achieve the recommended level
• Test the water using a quality pool water test kit
• Adjust chemical levels to achieve these targets:
• pH: 7.4–7.6
• Chlorine: 1–3 ppm
• Alkalinity: 80–120 ppm
• Calcium hardness: 200–400 ppm

4. Shock the Pool

• Use a chlorine-based shock to eliminate contaminants and residual algae
• Run the pool filter for 24 hours post-shocking for circulation

5. Clean the Pool Thoroughly

• Skim, brush, and vacuum your pool surfaces
• Remove winter debris and algae film
• Clean tile waterlines and pool steps

6. Review and Test Pool Safety Equipment

• Inspect ladders, rails, and diving boards
• Ensure all equipment is securely fastened and corrosion-free
• Verify the functionality of gate latches and safety barriers
