The clock is back to summer time, and the Easter Bunny has already visited. In short: bye bye, winter! We are really looking forward to the summer and, of course, that includes swimming. But when can you restart your pool after the winter? And how do you make sure your pool is ready for summer again?!
After a few months' hibernation, your (outdoor) pool needs a bit of attention before it can sparkle again. Many pool owners dread it, but restarting your swimming pool is quite simple. Find out what to look out for in this blog.
At Swimm, we also often get the question how to restart your sand filter after the winter. To answer this question, we have created a video and step-by-step plan especially for you. Find out further down this page.
Every pool needs regular maintenance. If you choose not to use your outdoor pool during the cold months, you will need it in autumn winterized to make. The more thoroughly you have done this, the greater the chance that your pool has made it through the winter without damage.
Now that the sun is shining more, you notice: The better you prepared your pool for the cold, the less work you will have now. If you don't like the condition of your pool, at least you know what to pay more attention to next autumn.
Do you restart your pool after the risk of frost has passed, as your pool can suffer frost damage.
We advise you to start preparing your sun for summer around mid-May, around this period the chance of night frost is very small
After all, frost is the biggest threat to your swimming pool installations. The longer your pool hibernates, the more the effect of chlorine, anti-algae agents, etc. decreases and the greater the risk of algae growth and pollution. As the temperature rises, the growth and spread of algae and microorganisms accelerates. So start getting your pool ready for summer on time!
Even without frost, the water cools quickly at night for a long time. The heating must then run extra fast. If you heat your swimming water with a heat pump, it also works less efficiently at low temperatures (if at all). In the case of highly energy-efficient, compact baths — such as the
Swimm Intelligent Pool — you don't have that concern.
In short, there are three scenarios:
The time has finally come: you are going to restart your pool! What do you start with?
In short, these are the steps:
Below, we'll give you an additional explanation per step to get your pool ready for summer again. Good luck!
An outdoor pool benefits from a year-round good cover. A pool cover prevents leaves and pruning, for example, from falling into the water and minimizes heat loss through evaporation.
The better you had made your pool winter-ready and the more thoroughly you swimming pool maintains, the less work you have at this step.
If you have cleaned up your pool, it is the turn of the pool installations.
Cleaning your sand filter will work slightly differently with each pool. We watched a number of videos of other swimming pools just for you. Based on that knowledge, these are the general steps you need to complete:
You now have a clean pool with clean water again. To keep the pool clean, the water must be optimally balanced.
How much time you need for steps 1 to 4 depends on several factors:
With an average pool of about 10 m x 5 m (l x w), you should count on at least 2 to 3 days.
A compact swimming pool offers countless benefits. It takes up less space, maintenance takes less time, costs for water treatment, heating, etc. are lower. With a compact pool, you'll have more time to enjoy your pool (and maybe other fun stuff).
Of course, you want to be able to swim well and comfortably in your pool. A compact swimming pool also has an advantage here, provided it has a high-quality countercurrent system. Then you can swim carefree without having to turn around, just like in open water.
The Intelligent Pools by Swimm combine super-compact dimensions with a state-of-the-art countercurrent system. The fully adjustable current adapts perfectly to every level of swimmer. Even an Olympic champion like Maarten van der Weijden You won't swim out in an Intelligent Pool.
