The Best Time of Year to Open Your Pool .

Hello, pool lovers! Warmer days are just around the corner, and that means it’s almost time to dive back into pool season! At Pool Doctors Landscapes, we want to help you make the most of your backyard oasis, and that starts with opening your pool at just the right time.
When Should You Open Your Pool?
For our Southern Ontario customers, the best time to open your pool is between mid-April and mid-May. Here’s why:
Stop Algae Before It Starts! Warmer weather plus a covered pool can lead to unwanted green guests—algae! Opening your pool early (when temperatures stay above 10°C) helps keep it crystal clear.
Less Work, More Fun! The longer your pool stays covered, the more debris and bacteria can build up. Open it sooner for a simpler, stress-free start to the season.
Jumpstart the Fun! Nobody wants to wait for their pool to be ready when the first heatwave hits. Get ahead so you can enjoy every sunny day!
Save Money on Chemicals! It’s easier (and cheaper) to maintain a clean pool than to fix a neglected one. Early opening means fewer costly treatments later.

Quick Tips for a Smooth Pool Opening
Check the Weather: Aim to open your pool when daytime temperatures consistently stay above 10°C.
Remove and Clean the Cover: Avoid dumping dirt and debris into your pool by taking off the cover carefully.
Inspect Equipment: Make sure your pump, filter, and heater are in top shape before starting circulation.
Refill the Water: If needed, top up the water level so everything runs smoothly.
Shock and Balance the Water: A good pool shock and balanced pH levels will keep your water fresh and inviting.
Run the Filter: Let the filter run continuously for at least 24 hours to clear out any lingering contaminants.
