1. Siphon water off of cover top (if using
water bag cover)
2. Uncover the pool. Usually
folding the cover like a fan or map works best.
Lay it out in the sun to clean and dry before storing away.
3. Begin filling the pool with water (you can do this in advance to save
time) Pull all plugs from return
lines/jets and skimmers.
4. Reconnect your filter, pump, heater, & chem. Feeder (in that order)
-put sight
glass, pressure guage back into multiport valve
-put ¼” plugs
back into front of pump basket
-put drain
plug back into base of filter tank
5. You should check all your
o’rings and gaskets to make sure they
are not worn
or brittle. Putting lubricant &
teflon tape on
threaded plugs
(pressure guage, sight glass, ¼”, etc..) is always a good
idea
6. You will want to “prime” the pump: add water to the pump basket and put
the lid back on. You may even need to
put the
garden hose
into the skimmer to get plenty of water flowing to the pump quickly.
7. At this point you can turn the
pump on:
a.
if the water is still low
and you have a main drain keep
plug in
skimmer and run thru main drain only
b.
If you don’t have main drain
you will have to
have water
midway into skimmer before running
8. Put all of your accessories (ladders,
handrails, diving board & slides) back
on the
pool. **Make sure ladder bumpers are put
back on ladder **
9. Now you are ready to clean the pool:
vacuum, skim the top, clean
the liner and
steps.
10: Let the pool run for approxiamately 12-24
hours and bring in a
sample of water for testing. Balance out the pool completely.
11. Now jump in and have FUN FUN FUN!!!
