Opening Your Above Ground Pool
It is best to open your above ground pool sooner rather than later because stagnant water in hot weather can result in algae. Extreme heat can start to warp and damage your pool, so circulated water in consistently hot weather is very important. Here’s how to open your above ground pool and how to add the Frog Leap Pool Hibernation:
- Connect and tighten all hoses and pipes that were removed for winterization. Plug up your pump drain and filter drain, those plugs should be located in the pump’s strainer pot.
- Remove the winter cover and any pillows you may have used. You can store those and use them next winter.
- Start adding water to the pool if it is in good condition. You should fill your pool up to the third screw on your skimmer.
- Start cleaning any debris that may have gotten into the pool. You can do this using your telescopic pole and a net.
- Watch for any leaks at the equipment (pump, filter, hoses, etc). Tighten anything that may be loose.
- Set your sand filter to ‘FILTER’ and turn on the pump once the pool is full of water.
- Don’t forget to add your ladder. Be careful not to damage the liner.
- Clean the pool as normal and test/balance the water.
- Turn the pump back off, set the control dial to the lowest setting on the Frog Leap and remove the cap.
- Follow the instructions on the side of the Frog Leap Depth Charge
- Turn the pump off once again, set the control dial to the lowest setting on the Frog Leap and remove the cap.
- Follow the instructions on the side of the Frog Leap Reveille
- Turn the pump back off, set the control dial to the lowest setting on the Frog Leap and remove the cap.
- Follow the instructions on the side of the Frog Leap All-Out
- Enjoy swimming in your pool!
