Pool opening marks the beginning of a busy and exciting season—but as temperatures rise and pool usage increases, maintaining water quality becomes more complex. In this seminar, we’ll explore the essential steps for pool opening and provide strategies to smoothly transition into effective in-season maintenance. Technicians will gain a clear understanding of how pool care needs evolve from spring to mid-summer, and why water management in April requires a different approach than in July. As the environment changes, so should chemical practices and service routines. We’ll cover best practices to enhance daily maintenance, maximize sanitizer performance, and keep pool water clean, clear, and balanced—no matter how busy the season gets. As the weather changes, so should approach—and this seminar will show you how to make smart, seasonal adjustments that lead to long-term success and is ideal for pool care professionals looking to deliver exceptional results all summer long.
