Gallagher Pools and Spas

April will be an important month for some pool owners. While there is still a chill in the air, some of the days are sunny and even warm. This sun means there will be some changes to some of your pools. If you have a mesh winter cover this means sun can go right through your cover to your water and begin feeding algae. Mesh cover customers who have not already added some Liquid Chlorine and Winter Treat would be well advised to add those chemicals to help fight off the effects of sun on that algae. If you have a solid cover that is torn and damaged or did not put a cover on your pool at all, you may also want to add some chemicals now to help the water remain clear until you open. While the store is getting more and more busy, this is still an excellent time to come in and purchase things you will need for your pool opening to beat the rush in May.

The opening season has already begun for some customers! All of our crews are out every day opening pools, and we are already booked up until the middle of June! In regards to opening your swimming pool there are a few things you will want to consider. Get your motor out of winter storage and dust off and check to be sure it still works. If it does not work, you can bring it in to the store to be worked on. Check your filter for cracks or holes, as well as any grids or fingers, if you have a DE filter. You will need Algicide 60, Stain and Scale and Liquid Chlorine to open the pool (if you use chlorine and not Baquacil). You may want to pick those up to have them ready when you open. To insure that your pool is useable by a certain date, start opening several weeks before that date in case there is a problem. Make sure your water level is half way up the skimmer. If your pool has an algae growth in it, you may need to add more chemicals when you open to clear it up. If you have a DE filter, check and make sure there is enough DE to backwash a few times while cleaning up the debris from the winter.
