June 20 is the summer solstice…the official first day of summer! Schools in Florida have already begun summer vacation, you may be planning a summer getaway, and the temperatures have definitely heated up from the mild spring we enjoyed this year. With summer’s arrival, you may turn your attention to your pool. What needs to be done to prepare your pool for summer fun?
Built-in pools and above-ground pools both require prep for summer fun. Properly balancing chemicals, ensuring the pool equipment works, and repairing any damage are a few steps required for pool prep. Additionally, the installation of a pool enclosure can greatly increase summertime fun in the pool.
Whether you have a built-in pool or an above-ground pool, both require extra attention in the summer. There are a few simple steps you can follow to get your pool ready for summer. So, let’s dive into summer pool prep with these tips from Tripod Aluminum!
Built-In Pool Prep
If you have a built-in pool, you have to maintain it year-round. You don’t drain the thousands of gallons when winter arrives and refill it in the summer as some folks with above-ground pools do. However, despite your best efforts, when that first wave of summer heat hits, it can really throw your pool for a loop. All of a sudden, your pool chemicals, especially the chlorine, are dissipating at a rapid rate. It makes it much more challenging to keep your pool perfectly balanced to maintain that sparkling, inviting water that you love. So, what should you do?
Above-Ground Pool Prep
If you have an above-ground pool, you may have maintained it throughout the off-season in which case, you won’t have much to do to prep it for summer. For in-depth, step-by-step details of how to “open” your above-ground pool for summer, you may want to use this checklistprovided by clearcomfort.com. Here are some basic tips to get you started:
Having a Pool Enclosure Installed
Pool enclosures are a fantastic addition to enhance your pool for summer fun. Above-ground pools can be sunken or have decks built around them to give them the feel of a built-in pool. You don’t have to have a built-in pool to enjoy a pool enclosure! Why should you call Tripod Aluminum to have a pool enclosure installed?

Nothing beats summer fun in the pool, but the pool has to be ready first! Properly balanced chemicals, a clean pool, and pool equipment that works are all part of a summer-ready pool.
