Seasonal pool care doesn’t need to be complicated; the right chemicals make it easy to maintain safe, clean water all year. When opening your pool for the season, shock treatments, clarifiers, and algaecides help eliminate winter residue, balance your water, and prepare your pool for use, ensuring your water is safe to swim in from day one.
When it’s time to close your pool for winter, the right products will protect your water and pool system. Pool closing chemicals, such as winterising algaecides, stain and scale preventers, and floating dispensers, are designed to keep your water clear and stop algae growth during the colder months. Moreover, by treating your pool before covering it, you’ll reduce the effort needed to reopen it the following season.
Can I use the same chemicals for opening and closing my pool?
While pool opening chemicals focus on sanitising and preparing water for swimming, and closing chemicals protect your pool during downtime, some products like algaecides and pH balancers are useful for both purposes.
When should I add pool opening chemicals?
Add your opening chemicals once you’ve removed the pool cover, refilled the pool if needed, and run the pump system. It’s best to treat the water a few days in advance of your planned swimming session.
At 1st Direct Pools, we’re proud to supply a full range of professional-grade chemicals for opening and closing your pool. With our expert advice and trusted products, we make year-round pool care straightforward and reliable, helping you save time and extend the life of your pool. Found a better deal?
