How to Keep Your Swimming Pool Clean

How to keep your swimming pool clean

A sparkling clean swimming pool not only looks irresistibly inviting, but also ensures a safe and enjoyable experience for you and your family.

Here are some simple tips then, to help you keep your pool sparkling clean…

1. Skim and Scrub Regularly

Skim the surface of your pool daily to remove leaves, bugs, and other debris. In addition, scrub the pool walls and tiles once a week to prevent algae build up.

2. Maintain Proper Chemical Levels

Check your pool’s pH, chlorine, and alkalinity levels at least twice a week. Balanced water keeps harmful bacteria at bay and ensures the water stays clear.

3. Clean the Pool Filter

Your pool filter works hard to trap dirt and debris. Clean or backwash the filter regularly—typically every 1-2 weeks, depending on usage and surrounding environment.

4. Shock the Pool When Needed

“Shocking” involves adding a high dose of chlorine to kill bacteria and clear up cloudy water. Do this after heavy usage, rainstorms, or when the water looks dull.

5. Keep Water Circulating

Running your pool pump for at least 8 hours a day helps circulate water and distribute chemicals evenly. Proper circulation is key to avoiding stagnant water and algae growth.
