When do u open your pool? I live in Illinois?

Question

at what temp and do u do it a little early? ty

Answer 1

I live in Alabama, so most pools, at least private ones are already open. One thing that you can do to warm up a pool a bit faster is to pour about a cup of rubbing alcohol into it. You can't feel it, nor smell it, but it will be there. The alcohol forms what might be best described as a mirror like film on the water. Sunlight goes in, but not all of it comes back out. I have used this for years, and is the principle behind the "sun fish" that are sold in pool/spa stores.

Answer 2

You just need to be careful if the temp gets near freezing.

Answer 4

I live in Southeastern Pennsylvania and our pool is open already.  Most of our neighbors have theirs open as well.  While it's a bit chilly to be in the water yet, opening it early May gives us time to open it slowly - usually takes us about a week due to work schedules.  Last year we used it for the first time May 25th.  This year will probably be earlier since it is almost ready and it's not the 10th yet.
