A step-by-step guide to getting your pool ready for summer, the right water values and when to call a pro.
Pool season in Bodrum usually opens in late April or early May.
- Remove the cover and clear leaves and debris.
- Top up the water to the middle of the skimmer — you may need a water tanker.
- Check the pump and filter for leaks and backwash sand filters.
- Balance the water: pH 7.2–7.6, free chlorine 1–3 ppm, alkalinity 80–120 ppm.
- Brush and vacuum walls and floor.
- Plan regular maintenance — weekly checks are recommended, especially for rental villas. A pool technician can take care of it for you.
