Pool Tip from Fred – ETex Cool Pools

I get this question every spring without fail:

“Fred, when should I open my pool?”

My answer is always the same…

👉 Is it 70° out yet?

Open your pool when the daytime temperature stays consistently above 70°F.

That might feel early since no one is swimming yet, but here’s the truth:

🦠 Algae doesn’t care if YOU want to swim.

The moment water starts warming up, algae starts growing.

Opening your pool early helps you:

✔ Prevent algae blooms
✔ Protect your equipment
✔ Avoid expensive cleanup later

If you need help getting your pool ready for the season, I’m happy to help.
