Tips For Keeping Up With Your Pool

Manifest What you Want, Whenever you Want....

A pool can be an enjoyable part of your summer, but with all the work it takes to keep your pool clean and in great shape for swimming, it can also seem like more work than it is actually worth! If you want to get optimal enjoyment out of your pool during the summer, it will be important for you to understand exactly what you need to understand in keeping your pool in great shape, as a thorough understanding makes things a whole lot easier.

Balancing the water: The pH, total alkalinity, and calcium in your pool will all affect one another, so you need to pay attention to all of them and make sure they all stay in balance. People often do not pay close enough attention to these elements of the water until something goes wrong, and then it becomes a monumental task to try to get things right again.

Chlorinate: If you have a pool, you surely understand the importance of keeping the chlorine levels where they should be, and you probably shock your pool once every two or three weeks, but in addition to doing this, you should keep an eye on your chlorine levels throughout the week, adding chlorine in small doses a few times per week. And remember, the sun will break down chlorine in your water, so you should always add it in the evening or at night.

Keeping the pool clean: Nothing will ruin the clarity and the levels of your water more quickly than dirt and leaves hanging around in the pool for extended periods of time; always make sure you clean out the filter daily, skim any leaves or grass off the surface of the water, and use something that can clean the base of your pool on a consistent basis.

Once you keep all these things in mind, it will be much easier to keep up with the cleaning and maintenance of your pool, which will make it a whole lot more enjoyable throughout the summer!
