Opening the pool

The weather has been improving, so when it reached 28 again on Saturday I finally decided to open the pool this Sunday.
Each pool is opened slightly differently.
For us; we removed and checked condition of winter cover. This was then stored for end of season.
The filters were cleaned and put back in the cartridges. Boring job and am thinking maybe I would have preferred sand, but this was not an option with this pool.
The pump was reconnected and the valves were opened, then the pump was primed. Sometimes this takes two or three goes for us - our pump is stored in the cellar and the water has to go slightly uphill.
The pump was plugged in and started its work. I checked the water was filling the pump chamber, and also checked flow at the pool outlets.
Sadly we do not have a JEP unit yet, but will get one installed very soon as I do not want the chemical hassel this year.
So it was back to the chlorine tablets. I put in enough to commence the pool water treatment and commenced pH adjustment.
I will let the system run for a few days, then clean out the filter and base of pool.
To prevent undue debris at present, I have put on the summer bubble cover.
Typically, it is overcast today!
