How To Do Pool Maintenance

It will save you a lot of money and time if you maintain your swimming pool properly all through the season

. It will also increase the amount of time that you can enjoy your swimming pool the entire year around. If your swimming pool isnt properly maintained, the chemicals will become out of balance and this will permit the growth of bacteria and algae. This will result in it taking additional chemicals and time that will be required in order to bring them back under control. If stronger chemicals are needed in order to control the growth of bacteria and algae, you wont be able to use your swimming pool until the chemical balance has been restored.

You need to check the levels of the chemicals in your swimming pool daily and adjust them as required in order to maintain the proper balance. You should sweep the side and bottom walls each day in order to dislodge any particles that may have settled on the surfaces. To do this, brush the particles towards the lower drain for pools that are in ground and brush the bottom toward the filtration system for pools that are above ground. You should clean the skimmer basket each day. Also, monitor the water level and maintain the swimming pool water above what is needed on order to use the skimmer basket effectively.

You also need to thoroughly vacuum the swimming pool a minimum of once a week. It is important that the pressure for the sand filtration and DE systems need to be checked and backwashed if required following vacuuming. If the swimming pool uses a cartridge filtration system, check the cartridge and replace as required. You should add an appropriate amount of water clarifier in order to maintain the waters clarity. You should also add the recommended amount of algaecide.

If required you may need to shock the swimming pool in order to keep the chemical levels for the next week. Then take a water sample to your local pool supply store a minimum of every other week for analysis and follow any recommendations the dealer may have in order to correct imbalances that are noted in the analysis. Also check pool ladders for loose bolts and tighten as required.

Lastly, at the end of each season, take the filtration system apart and clean all parts and inspect them for corrosion or wear and replace as required. You should also inspect the pool for signs of additional problems like loose or rested bolts in the side or ladder walls prior to opening the swimming pool for the next season.
