Opening day field checklist

Take this to the pad.

1

First 15 minutes: keep cover debris out

The fastest way to make opening harder is to dump cover water and decomposed debris into the pool.

2

Before power: inspect stop conditions

Find winter damage while the system is still quiet and not under pressure.

3

Restore water level and prime

A test result is not useful until the pool can mix and the pump can move water.

4

Test once the water has mixed

Opening chemistry starts with a result set, not a shopping list.

5

Choose the branch from the evidence

A clear pool, cloudy pool, green pool, and broken circulation system should not share one checklist.

6

Make only the justified additions

Sequential dosing makes the next test meaningful.

7

First 24 hours: clean, filter, retest

The first day proves whether opening actually stabilized.
