OK,
I'm in Maryland between Baltimore and D.C.
I opened April 6th. I had thought about opening beginning of May but felt I had a bunch of stuff to address (10 year old pool and wanted to start replacing stuff this spring).
Long time DIY pool owner friend told me to close late and open early and I will have less water quality issues so took his advice.
I did have a few overnight freezes but no troubles with the pumps running.
I have been watching the neighbors who have pools and I was the first one that I could see who opened a pool. Driving into and through my neighborhood I can see about 4 other pools including next door. One pool I can see at the entrance to the neighborhood just opened up this week and I can see the dark green water. I have not had any chance to ask the neighbor when he is opening and I don't want to pry in his business but I'll be curious to see what his pool is like when he does. For all I know he may have already been keeping tabs on his water. All I can see from my house is his cover on. We have had continual 10 days to Memorial weekend, I was expecting more pools to be open. Previous owner of my pool opened it last year on May 1. It was reported to be "murky" but I did not know if it was green or not.
What is everyone else seeing in their neighborhood? anyone procrastinating their opening or have not been able to due to other unforeseen circumstances?
