We opened last week. Water temp was 56°. We had some warm days and by Sunday, the water temp was 66°. We’ve had a lot of very warm days in Missouri all throughout the winter. Definitely time to open to avoid problems. I’d rather deal with pollen than algae!!

How do those dang worms get in there???!!!

I don’t “cover” my pool. We only put a leaf net over it this past winter. Water is clear as can be, but I do have to vacuum dirt out. At least I didn’t have to dig leaves out though! I could skim them right off the top on the leaf net!

We opened ours over the weekend. We are in Missouri. Our water has been 59-60°

I’m in St. Louis,MO area and we still have not closed either. Today, my water is at 61. I keep cleaning the skimmers and removing the leaves. My SWG is still producing and I’m keeping my water balanced. It is usually the end of October before we close. This is our 8th year. Everyone around me...

We are near St. Louis, MO. We opened last weekend. Our temps are usually similar

I I I II think I’m ready. This was taken on the deep end, 8ft. Deep

I just opened mine today. Water temp already 68 degrees. That's warmer than I normally like to open, but my water is clear and 0 CC. Now I will just need to watch my skimmer baskets because they fill with debris rather quickly. I'm in Missouri too, so I've had close to the same weather as you...

I am also in the St. Louis area. This will be our 5th year of opening our pool. Generally, we open when the water is around 58-59 degrees. (Close when it drops just below 60 degrees also). Usually our weather is steady enough in mid to late April to hold water temps just below 60. We have never...

I'm really glad to hear so many in similar climates are opening their pools too. Nobody around me opens their pool this early (non of them use TFP). They all think I'm nuts for opening the pool so early. They wait until Memorial Day weekend and by then, they open up a swamp. My pool has...

4 days later, vacuumed twice. Much better. Ready for it to warm up!!

I don't have a robot vac. Have to bring up the water level first to hook up the pump to be able to vacuum.

I just added a gallon of 10% chlorine FC 10 CC. 0 Ph. 7.2 ally. 110 CH. 200 CYA. <30 Water is a little cloudy. I don't have the pump running yet to circulate and get honest numbers. I know I need to raise CYA (targeting 30). Will do OCLT to see if I need to slam. We've been filling...
