When you have a swimming pool, you want to get all the use you can out of it! However, if you don’t properly clean and maintain your swimming pool, no one will want to swim in green, dirty water. Properly maintaining your swimming pool can also prevent parts and filters from malfunctioning. If you are having issues keeping your pool looking its best, here are 5 pool maintenance tips from All Pro Pool & Spa Repair Service Inc. 1. Check & Balance Chemical Levels If chemicals in your pool are not balanced correctly it can cause many problems. When pH levels are too low it can cause algae growth, bacteria growth, and murky water. When pH levels are too high it can cause skin irritation and damage to pool equipment. A high pH also causes chlorine to become less active, causing people to end up adding too much chlorine to their pool. Chlorine generators are a great way to provide a steady flow of chlorine through your pool. Your pool’s pH level should be between 7.2 and 7.8. 2. Skim Regularly skimming your pool can actually make a big difference in your pool’s appearance! Daily skimming prevents leaves and debris from sinking to the bottom of your pool. You should also scrub your pool to prevent algae buildup and stains. This will help keep your pool looking sparkling clean. 3. Clean Your Filter Your pool’s filter helps remove debris and dirt from the water. Your filter should be properly maintained to keep your pool clean. If you have a cartridge filter, every few weeks you should remove spray down the cartridge or use filter cleaner. If you have D.E. or sand filter you will need to backwash your filter every 1 to 3 months. However, you should chemically clean your D.E. or sand filter at least once a year. 4. Check Water Levels Checking your pool’s water level is very important. If the water level is too low, it can cause your pump to heat up and possibly burn out. You can avoid this by taking a hose and adding more water to your pool. If your water levels are too high, your skimmer will not operate correctly and may not pick up debris. You can avoid this by getting a pump to drain the excess. Autofills are another way to regulate water level. Your pool’s water level should always be halfway up to the opening of your skimmer. 5. Vacuum Your Pool Vacuuming your pool can help remove those hard to reach debris at the bottom. It is recommended to vacuum your pool once a week during active months to prevent algae growth and stains. You can purchase your own pool vacuum and do it yourself or you can hire a pool maintenance service to do it for you.
