Is your Miami pool ready for spring swimmers? check this before March
March changes everything in Miami.
Temperatures rise. Usage increases. Chlorine demand jumps. What looked “fine” in winter quickly turns cloudy, unstable, or expensive.
Run this checklist now and enter spring fully prepared.
Start with water clarity and safety
Clear water is not enough. It must be balanced.
Test a full panel.
pH between 7.4–7.6
Free chlorine aligned with CYA
Alkalinity stable
Calcium appropriate for your surface
If sanitizer demand is already creeping up, algae is preparing to bloom.
Tip: if you are adding more chlorine than usual, something is off. Fix it before swimmer load increases.
Inspect your filtration baseline
Spring exposes weak filtration fast.
Record clean filter pressure
Deep clean cartridges if overdue
Backwash sand or DE properly
Check for channeling or worn grids
Cloudy water in April usually started with poor filtration in February.
Check circulation and flow
Water must move evenly across the entire pool.
Verify returns create a circular sweep
Confirm no dead spots behind ladders or steps
Check pump lid for air bubbles
Ensure proper RPM settings on variable-speed pumps
Uneven flow leads to localized algae before full bloom.
Inspect equipment before it’s under stress
Winter hides small issues. Spring magnifies them.
Inspect pump seals and unions
Check heater ignition and flow sensors
Verify automation schedules
Inspect electrical connections and GFCI outlets
Small leaks or flow issues now become shutdowns later.
Prepare for heavier swimmer load
More swimmers means more oils, sunscreen, and organics.
Before March:
Brush entire surface thoroughly
Vacuum fine debris
Clean waterline tile
Add enzyme treatment if needed
Start clean so increased use doesn’t overwhelm the system.
Confirm water level and skimmer function
Miami rain patterns fluctuate. Low water pulls air. High water reduces skimming efficiency.
Keep water at mid-skimmer and confirm strong suction.
Avoid the March rush
Service calendars fill quickly once spring arrives. Waiting creates delays, emergency pricing, and reactive fixes.
Preparation in February is strategic. Waiting is reactive.
