Preparing a pool for the swimming season starts before the first swim. If it has had little use for months, arrange cleaning and an installation check. Planning ahead lets you discuss the work needed without committing to an opening date before the pool has been assessed.
Establish the starting point
Was the pool maintained over winter? Does it have a cover? Has dirt accumulated, or did any equipment stop working? These questions help you explain your needs to Jara. If you do not know, describe what you can observe without taking equipment apart.
The article on winter pool maintenance provides context for the preceding months. Preparation should reflect the actual pool condition, rather than the same schedule for every installation.
Cleaning the pool and coping
Jara’s services include thorough pool cleaning and coping cleaning. When requesting a quote, explain which areas you want included and whether you need a one-off visit or the start of seasonal maintenance.
- State the pool type and approximate dimensions.
- Describe the condition of the floor, walls and edge.
- Mention known problems and outstanding repairs.
Checking water and filtration
Water appearance does not replace testing. pH and disinfectant need regular checks in line with the instructions for the equipment and products used.
Jara provides detailed filtration system and water quality inspections. For circulation issues, also see the guide to reduced filtration flow. This article does not prescribe a dose or filtration schedule for every pool.
If the pool already has electrolysis, also read about salt chlorination and its maintenance.
After the initial preparation
One-off cleaning and ongoing service serve different purposes. Read about regular maintenance to consider care during the months of use. Jara offers annual or seasonal quotes and occasional cleaning to prepare a pool for use. For shared installations, read how to agree communal pool maintenance.
For a pool in Gavà, Castelldefels or Viladecans, request an assessment stating the location and intended period of use. Work, price and scheduling should be specified in the service proposal.
