Remove any winterizing plugs, re-connect your lines, and put your skimmer basket and return fitting(s) back in place; replace your basket or return fitting(s) if necessary
Fill your pool up to the water line; use a Stain Eraser or scouring pad if necessary to remove any stains

After adjusting pH and alkaline levels, run your pump constantly for a couple of days until desired water chemistry is achieved
If your pool water is turning green, add an algaecide treatment
Be sure to add shock to your pool after cleaning and vacuuming to kill algae and get water sparkling clean

Use a skimmer sock when starting up your pool to catch dirt and debris before it enters into your filter system
