What to do after opening your pool?
Opening your pool is just the first step—now it’s time to make sure it’s swim-ready. Here’s what to do next:
1. Remove Any Remaining Debris
Even after uncovering and skimming, leaves, dirt, or bugs might still be in the water or on the pool floor. Use a skimmer net and pool vacuum to thoroughly clean it.
2. Inspect Pool Equipment
Check your pump, filter, and heater to make sure everything is functioning properly. Look for any leaks, strange noises, or worn-out parts.
3. Top Off the Water Level
Add water to bring the level up to the appropriate height—usually about halfway up the skimmer opening.
4. Test the Water Chemistry
Use a test kit or test strips to check chlorine levels, pH, alkalinity, and calcium hardness. Proper balance is essential for safe swimming and to protect your equipment.
5. Shock the Pool
Add a chlorine shock treatment to eliminate any contaminants or bacteria that may have built up during the off-season.
6. Run the Pump and Filter
Let the system run continuously for at least 24–48 hours to circulate the water and help the chemicals disperse evenly.
7. Brush and Vacuum the Pool Walls and Floor
Scrub surfaces to remove algae or residue and vacuum thoroughly to clean up any remaining debris.
8. Inspect Safety Equipment
Make sure all ladders, handrails, and safety covers are secure and in good condition. Test pool alarms or other safety devices as well.
9. Set a Maintenance Schedule
Plan regular water testing, chemical balancing, cleaning, and equipment checks to keep your pool in great shape throughout the season.
What Factors Influence the Cost of Building a Swimming Pool?
The price of constructing a custom swimming pool is influenced by several factors, including:
* Accessibility for construction equipment and workers to the yard
* Pool size and design
* Additional features like water features, covers, or lighting
* Choice of materials and finishes, such as tile, stone, or coping
* Travel distance for contractors and delivery of materials to your location
How Long Does It Take to Build a Swimming Pool?
Building a inground swimming pool usually takes between four to six weeks. However, this timeframe is not always continuous, as various trades may be working alongside the pool construction. Additionally, the complexity of landscaping around the pool can extend the overall build time.
What Should I Consider When Choosing a Swimming Pool Contractor?
Of course, we recommend looking for Paradise Pools; In addition, here are some key factors to consider:
* Your comfort level and ease of communication with the contractor
* Their experience and reputation within the industry
* Ability and willingness to collaborate with other trades
* Recommendations from other tradespeople you trust

* Testimonials from previous clients
* A portfolio showcasing their past work
* Their flexibility in working within your budget and meeting your specific needs
My Backyard is Small. Can You Build a Swimming Pool in a Limited Space?
Absolutely! The great thing about custom concrete swimming pools is that they can be tailored to fit any size, shape, or style of backyard. The only limitation is the required setback from property lines, which must be at least 1.52 meters (5 feet). We’re always happy to visit your backyard and assess whether your vision can be brought to life in the available space.
Is Maintaining a Pool Difficult?
All swimming pools require regular upkeep, typically around 30 minutes per week. However, pools with additional features like hot tubs, water features, or negative edges will require more maintenance time. Weather conditions also play a role in how much attention your pool needs.
The maintenance demands of a pool vary throughout the year. Opening and closing your pool for the season will take more time than the usual weekly care. In spring, pollen from trees can impact water chemistry and cleanliness, while in autumn, falling leaves have a similar effect. Regular pool maintenance also involves using water chemistry and cleaning products to keep everything in balance.
