🧼 How to prepare your pool for the season? Step by step using AQUA FUN pool chemicals.

With the arrival of warmer weather, more and more people are planning the start of the pool season. However, before you start enjoying your swim, it's important to properly prepare your pool after winter – ensuring cleanliness, water chemistry, and safety. In this guide, we'll show you step-by-step how to prepare your pool for the season using proven AQUA FUN products.

✅ Step 1: Drain the pool (if necessary)

If you didn't use a cover during the winter and the water became significantly contaminated, consider a complete water change . If any water remains, proceed to purifying it.

🧽 Step 2: Cleaning the pool shell and accessories

Remove debris from the pool surface:

• leaves, algae, sediments

• wipe the walls and bottom with a pool brush

• clean the filter, skimmer and pump

💡 Tip : Use a neutral pool surface cleaner to avoid disturbing the chemical balance of the water after filling.

💧 Step 3: Fill the pool with water

Use tap or well water, but remember that:

• Well water may contain iron and manganese , which affect the color and quality

• after filling, proceed to chemical adjustment

🧪 Step 4: Check water parameters – use AQUA FUN 3-in-1 test strips

Before using any chemicals, perform tests:

• pH

• free chlorine

• total alkalinity

👉 For this purpose, use 3-in-1 AQUA FUN test strips – quick result in 15 seconds.

⚖️ Step 5: Adjust the pH of the water

Optimal pH is 7.0–7.4 . If the value deviates:

• pH too low – use AQUA FUN pH+

• pH too high – use AQUA FUN pH–

Why is this important?
Incorrect pH weakens the effect of chlorine, causes skin irritation and destroys installation components.

🧴 Step 6: Shock disinfection – BIG CHLORINE GRANULES

To remove bacteria, algae and microorganisms:

• use AQUA FUN BIG CHLORINE chlorine granules

• dissolve the appropriate dose in water and spread evenly around the pool

• do not use the pool for 24 hours

This is called shock chlorination , which restores purity to water after a long period of inactivity.

🌱 Step 7: Prevention against algae – use STOP ALGA

After disinfection is complete, add to the water:

• AQUA FUN STOP ALGA – effectively protects against the formation of algae

• prevents the formation of green water and slippery deposits

🔁 Step 8: Regular checkup and care

After the start of the season:

• test the water 2-3 times a week

• maintain proper pH and chlorine levels

• replenish chemicals as needed (chlorine, pH, anti-algae)
