Step 1:

Preparing Your Pool

Drain standing water (if applicable), remove, clean and properly store your Winter cover for use in the Fall
Use a leaf skimmer to remove any large debris and skim the pool
Remove any winterizing plugs, re-connect your lines, and put your skimmer basket and return fitting(s) back in place; replace your basket or return fitting(s) if necessary
Fill your pool up to the water line; use a Stain Eraser or scouring pad if necessary to remove any stains
Prepare your equipment (re-installing drain plugs, o-rings, etc) and start up your pump; begin circulating your pool water, leaving your salt cell un-installed until your water chemistry is balanced
Add your opening pool chemicals to the water - a Pool Supplies Canada premium chemical kit contains the essential chemicals for Spring pool opening, all in one affordable package!

Adding Your Chemicals

Begin balancing your water chemistry; ensure pool water has circulated for at least 8-24 hours before testing it
After adjusting pH and alkaline levels, run your pump constantly for a couple of days until desired water chemistry is achieved
If your pool water is turning green, add an algaecide treatment
Be sure to add shock to your pool after cleaning and vacuuming to kill algae and get water sparkling clean

Checking Equipment and Accessories

Restore all circuit breakers, switches, time clock trippers, etc to normal operations (if applicable)
Patch any small holes or punctures in your liner to prevent larger tears and/or leaks from forming
Repair and/or replace any equipment or accessories you find with issues immediately after opening to prevent future issues from arising

Step 4:

Cleaning Up The Pool

Brush the sides of your pool until they are clean, then run your vacuum to catch dirt/debris that settles on the pool floor; if necessary, use a deep leaf rake to skim larger debris out
It's recommended to clean or replace the sand or cartridge in your pool filter; a wide selection of replacement cartridges are available (Filter Media Balls are a great alternative to sand)
If applicable, keep 2 sets of filter cartridges on hand, so you can switch out the one(s) used during initial start up with a fresh set
A wide selection of automatic suction and robotic vacuum cleaners are available to make cleaning and maintaining your pool easier
Use a skimmer sock when starting up your pool to catch dirt and debris before it enters into your filter system
Once your pool is clear of debris / algae, clean your salt cell, re-install it and start your salt generator
Using a pool solar cover is recommended, they help to reduce heat loss and keep dirt and debris out of your pool
