Preparing Your HOA Pool for a Seamless Summer Opening
As Memorial Day weekend approaches, HOAs across the country are gearing up to reopen their community pools for the summer season. If your HOA pool has been closed for the off-season, now is the time to ensure a smooth, safe, and efficient reopening. Follow these essential steps to get your pool ready for residents to enjoy all summer long!
Step 1: Bring in the Experts
Most HOAs rely on a professional pool vendor to handle maintenance and safety checks. Hiring a reputable vendor ensures that water quality, equipment, and overall safety meet the necessary standards for a worry-free summer.
Step 2: Remove & Store the Pool Cover
Over the colder months, debris, water, and dirt accumulate on the pool cover. Before removing it, your vendor should clear off any buildup to prevent it from falling into the water. Once removed, the cover should be stored properly in a dry, secure location for future use.
Step 3: Inspect Equipment & Pool Conditions
With the pool cover off, now is the time to thoroughly inspect the pool’s pumps, filters, heaters, vacuums, and other critical equipment. Any disconnected systems should be reconnected and tested to confirm everything is in good working order. The pool itself should also be checked for visible damage, cracks, or leaks that may need repair.
Step 4: Deep Clean the Pool
Once equipment is operational, it’s time to clean the pool thoroughly. This includes:
✅ Vacuuming the pool floor
✅ Scrubbing the walls and steps
✅ Replacing filters for optimal water circulation
Step 5: Treat & Balance the Water
To ensure a safe and sanitary swimming environment, your vendor should shock the pool and add the proper balance of chlorine and chemicals. This eliminates bacteria, algae, and other contaminants, making the water crystal clear and safe for residents.
Step 6: Establish Pool Access & Open to Residents
Before opening day, finalize key details such as:
✔️ Pool access control – Distribute pool tags or key fobs to ensure only residents and their guests can enter. Digital amenity passes can help track homeowner and guest entry and trends.
✔️ Hours of operation – Confirm opening and closing times that align with HOA rules.
✔️ Lifeguard & attendant staffing – Determine if additional staffing or security is needed for a safe experience.
