You’ve scheduled a water delivery for your pool, and now it’s time to get prepared. To ensure a smooth and efficient process when Mountain Services (or other water hauling company arrives), follow this essential checklist.
1. Prepare Your Pool Cover Before the water delivery truck pulls up, make sure your pool cover is taken care of. Remove it, clean off any debris or standing water, and store it away safely. This step prevents any unwanted materials from getting into the clean water and ensures your cover lasts longer.
2. Clean Out Debris Even the best pool covers can’t keep everything out. Use a skimmer to remove leaves, twigs, and other debris from the water. This helps prevent clogging in your pool’s filter system once it is activated.
3. Reinstall Pool Equipment Winter means pool plugs and other winterizing components. Remove these and reinstall your pump, heater, and filter plugs. Don’t forget to put back railings, ladders, and any other accessories.
4. Ready for Water Now that your pool is prepped, it’s ready to be filled. Make sure to use treated, municipally sourced water to ensure safety and clarity. Aim to fill the pool to the midpoint of the filter to properly test the chemical balance.
5. Final Touches Once filled, it’s time to get your pool swim-ready. Brush the pool walls, shock the water, and run the filter for 24 hours. Afterward, test your water and adjust the chemicals as needed to ensure safe and enjoyable swimming.
