Summer Is Coming — Is Your Pool Ready?
There's a moment every spring that pool owners know well. The weather turns warm, the kids start asking when the pool is opening, and you pull back the cover to see… well, whatever winter decided to leave behind. At Arthur Edwards Pool & Spa Centre, we help you get ahead of that moment so your pool is ready to swim the second summer arrives — not two weeks after.
Don't Wait Until Memorial Day
The biggest mistake pool owners make every year is waiting too long to start their spring opening. By the time warm weather hits, our schedule fills up fast — and the pool supply chains do too. Chemicals, equipment parts, and service appointments all get harder to come by once everyone rushes to open at the same time.
Opening your pool in April gives you a head start. The water is still cool, which means algae growth is slower and easier to manage. You'll spend less on chemicals getting the water balanced, and you'll have plenty of time to address any equipment issues before the swimming season is in full swing.
What a Proper Pool Opening Looks Like
There's a right way and a wrong way to open a pool. The wrong way is yanking off the cover, firing up the pump, and hoping for the best. The right way involves a thorough process that protects your pool's surface, equipment, and water quality all season long.
A proper opening includes removing and cleaning the winter cover, reassembling all equipment and return fittings, checking for any damage that may have occurred over winter, priming and starting the pump and filter system, and bringing the water chemistry into balance with a full professional test and treatment plan.
Our team at Arthur Edwards handles all of this and more. We'll flag any issues we find — a cracked fitting, a worn seal, a heater that needs service — before they turn into expensive mid-summer emergencies.
Gear Up for the Season
Spring is also the perfect time to assess your pool equipment and accessories. Did your automatic cleaner struggle last year? Is your heater taking forever to warm the water? Are your lights flickering? These small annoyances become big frustrations once summer is in full swing and the pool is getting daily use.
Come into our showroom and let us help you get equipped for the season. We carry everything you need — from replacement equipment and new automation systems to fun accessories, floats, and games that make your pool the place to be this summer.
Your Summer Starts Now
The pools that look amazing all summer long aren't the ones that get opened at the last minute — they're the ones that got a head start in April. A little preparation now means more time swimming and less time troubleshooting when it matters most.
