Get Your Pool Ready | Everything you need to know to prepare your pool for summer

The heat is approaching, and it is time to remove the winter cover.

Opening the pool for the season has a reputation for being a slow and tiring process, but the truth is, it doesn’t have to be.

With the right technology and products, you can spend less time cleaning and much more time soaking up the sun. Discover our quick and smart guide to getting your water crystal clear in record time.

1. Surface Cleaning

Before leaves, insects, and pollen sink and dirty the bottom, it is vital to clean the water surface to keep the pool looking inviting and to ease the strain on the filter system. Leave the manual labour aside. Opt for a surface robot such as the WYBOT E-TRON F1 Robotic Cleaner. This equipment acts as an automatic, intelligent floating skimmer that travels across the entire pool collecting debris. The water surface stays continuously spotless without any effort on your part. By catching dirt before it reaches the floor, you drastically reduce the need for heavy-duty vacuuming.

2. Physical Cleaning: Vacuum the floor without breaking a sweat

After months of the pool sitting idle, it is essential to remove sand and brush the walls to eliminate slime before treating the water. Forget the manual vacuum hose. Invest in a cordless Robotic Cleaner; simply place it in the water with a single click. The robot maps and scrubs the floor, walls, and waterline 100% autonomously. The heavy lifting disappears, there are no cables to untangle, and you save precious hours of your weekend.

3. Shock Treatment: The end of "Green Water"

If the water is cloudy or greenish, you need to quickly eliminate the bacteria and algae that multiplied over the winter. Perform a shock treatment using the unbeatable duo: the PM-420 ACTIBON SHOCK catalyst, combined with CTX-200/GR ClorShock rapid chlorine. Actibon accelerates the effect of the chlorine. Instead of waiting for days, it transforms green water into a crystal-clear mirror in a matter of hours, ensuring a safe and disinfected pool.

4. Smart Disinfection: The magic of Salt Electrolysis

If you want to stop worrying about adding chemicals manually and avoid dry skin or red eyes, switch to a gentler, automatic disinfection system. Install a salt electrolysis system (salt chlorinator). By adding a small amount of salt to the water at the start of the season, this system continuously converts it into a natural, pure disinfectant without the need for traditional tablets. Forget buying buckets of chlorine and enjoy incredibly soft water without that strong chemical smell. It is the perfect choice for your skin's health, your family's comfort, and total pool automation.

5. Traditional Maintenance: Simplicity in one gesture

If you do not yet have salt electrolysis and prefer traditional treatment, the goal is to stabilise chemical levels practically. Use CTX-393 Multi-action 250g tablets. This product has 5 effects in one: it chlorinates, flocculates (clumps fine dirt together), prevents algae, stabilises pH, and disinfects. Simply place the tablet in the skimmer, and maintaining water quality becomes economical and consistent throughout the swimming season.

6. Filtration and Circulation: The heart of the pool

Stagnant water spoils. It is fundamental to reactivate the pump and filter to ensure the water circulates and micro-impurities are trapped. If your old pump uses a lot of electricity, it is the ideal time to upgrade to a variable-speed pump, such as the Zodiac FloPro E30 iQ. It keeps the water pure with super-silent operation and can reduce your pool’s electricity bill by up to 80%.
