When opening your inground pool for the season the first thing you want to do is remove any water or debris that is on your pool cover. You want to do this before taking the cover off, so the debris and water doesn't go into the pool, causing you to have to do more work. The next thing you want to do is to remove the cover. After removing the cover you want to clean and restore any of the pieces that may have been taken apart for the winter. Remove any plugs your pool may have. If your water is under the level, add more water to it so its meets the appropriate water level. Start pump, and filter to get things moving. The next step is the cleaning process, you will need to clean the walls of any debris and algae that may have built up during the winter. Once you complete that step, use the vacuum to remove the debris and algae. Try to get the water as clean as you can. The chemicals will clean the pool the rest of the way. You want to get a shock treatment so it will disinfect the pool of any bacteria that you couldn't get out with vacuum. Once you shock the pool, the water circulating will help the chemicals do its job. You must wait 48-72 hours before swimming after the shock treatment is added. You want to check the pool regularly to make sure the PH levels and chlorine levels at the recommended range. If you still see algae in the pool, you will need to add an algaecide to the water...Once the water is clear and the chlorine and PH levels are good, your pool is now ready for use. Any of the supplies I have mentioned can be found at your local swimming pool supplies stores.

We have an inground concrete salt water pool in Sydney have hundreds of brown lines an inch long in the pool look like dirt but when broken open hundreds of tiny red worms appear how do we get rid?

thats a bad idea to have an inground salt water pool in concrete. the salt water it self may eat away some parts of the concrete, plus the fact that its underground and contains salt it attracts worms. maybe you should pour alot of clorine in the pool to kill them, then empty out the water and start fresh.
