Re-connect your lines and tighten any unions that you might have. Now that your cover is off, skimmer open, and returns in, itвЂ™s time to un-winterize your filter system and equipment. Once the cover is removed itвЂ™s a good idea to lay it out on the lawn, clean, and then treat the cover with вЂњStow AwayвЂќ to prevent premature вЂњdry rotвЂќ of the cover once itвЂ™s stored for the season.

Once the cover is free of water and debris go ahead and loosen your cable/ winch and pull the cover to one side of the pool. If your going to use a submersible pump its a good idea to either stick your hose under the cover to help fill the pool as it pumps the cover off or keep a close eye on the pump to make sure that it is not pulling water through your cover and draining your pool further down. Our recommendation is to use a submersible pump to remove the water and use your skimmer net or deep leaf rake to scoop the debris out. Whatever you do try not to вЂњdump the coverвЂќ into the pool with this excess water and debris as it will make the pool clean up process much more labor intensive. You might find that the cover has accumulated excess water and debris on it. The first step to opening your above ground pool is to remove the winter cover. Just make sure not to pour it all in one spot near your liner or this could cause premature wear and tear. This can be done by opening a corner of your pool or through the skimmer with a funnel. We recommend adding some liquid chlorine under your pool cover during a thaw to help carry your clean pool into spring with a much higher chance of opening it just as clean as you closed it. What most pool owners donвЂ™t realize is that their pools turned green from algae growth back during those thaws. By the time youвЂ™re ready to open your pool we usually have had a decent thaw or two in the months leading up to spring.

What most pool owners donвЂ™t know is that algae growth slows down significantly once the water temperature drops below sixty degrees. Depending on what you added, the most popular chemical that kills and prevents algae (chlorine) is most likely depleted by now. When you closed your pool you probably added chlorine or other closing chemicals back in the fall.
