BEST Opening Process For Above Ground Pools | Intex, Coleman, Bestway Pools

Process & Steps In Order:

-Water was over 60° two weeks ago. Once water temp is above 60° the water is primed for algae growth.
-Drained remaining water/debris from cover via a 25' pool hose with a siphon I created using a wet vac.
-Removed cover
-Siphoned out debris from pool floor
-Cleaned out pump/filter/skimmer
-Checked and cleaned gaskets, o-rings, leaf trap cover and nut
-Checked hoses for leaks
-Got the pump running and immediately added liquid chlorine. This is key to keeping water sanitary to circumvent algae growth upon opening.
-Will be testing and balancing total alkalinity, pH, and CYA over the course of the week (in that order)
-Maintaining chlorine and all levels from there on out. -Using a Taylor K2006 kit.
