6 Homes and 'Gardens, Supplement of The Canadfian Statesman,'April 25, 197q Tiime to Think of Pools, The grass is turning green, the trees are starting to bud and soon it will be time to open your pool for another season of relaxation and fun. Some of you may have opened your pool many times, but for others it will be your first spring opening. In either case we may be able to help you with a few tips and suggestions. If the pool is covered,_you must first drain the water from the top of the cover with a sump pup, siphon hose or your own filter and vacuum system. It is usually impossible to get every drop of water off the top of the cover and usually about 20 gallons or s0 is left on the cover. This weighs 200 lbs. If you leave one long side of the cover secured to the deck and use about four people to drag the cover from one side of the pool to the secured side, in other words you are folding it over itself, you can very easily drain the water off the cover as it laps itself onto the deck. Make sure you wash the cover with a mild soap, let dry before you fold it and put it away for the summer. Drain water from water bags, wash and roll up. Talc or corn starch will prevent cover and bags from sticking. Remove any winterizing plugs from mniets or skimmer, and tastaîl return fittings. Replace drain plugs in filter, pump and heater. Replace pressure gauges on filter. Fil pool to normal level if necessary. While pool is filling, you cap wash andwax the ladders and diving board. Prime pump and start filter operating.
