Answer: You should wait 24-48 hours
Explanation: Reopening – When swimming season comes around again, clear the area around the pool of debris. Refill the pool to its normal level and open the skimmer valve to get the water circulating. Test the water’s pH and shock the pool. Turn on the pump and leave it running 24 hours a day. Decrease this time by one hour each day until the water is balanced. Your pool is now open for fun!
