Maintenance
Follow This Pool Maintenance Checklist
- Test the water regularly: It’s important to test the pH, chlorine, and alkalinity levels of your pool water on a regular basis to ensure that they are within the appropriate range.
- Skim the surface: Use a skimmer net or automatic skimmer to remove debris such as leaves, bugs, and other debris from the water’s surface.
- Brush the walls and floor: Use a pool brush to scrub the walls and floor of the pool to remove algae or other buildups.
- Vacuum the pool: Use a pool vacuum to remove dirt and debris from the bottom of the pool.
- Clean the filter: Clean or replace the filter cartridges or grids as needed to ensure that the pool’s filtration system works properly.
- Check the water level: Make sure the water level in the pool is at the appropriate level, usually halfway up the skimmer.
- Add chemicals: Add chlorine or other chemicals to keep the water clean and clear.
- Check the equipment: Check the pool’s pump, filter, and other equipment regularly to ensure it is in good working condition.
- Cover the pool: Use a pool cover to keep debris out of the pool when it’s not in use and reduce evaporation.
- Hire a professional: Consider hiring a professional pool service to help with maintenance, especially if you are not comfortable with pool maintenance or if you do not have the time to do it yourself. Pool maintenance companies provide complete services designed for any pool.
It’s important to keep in mind that different types of pools require different maintenance levels, and it’s important to follow the manufacturer’s instructions and recommendations.
