Ensuring the Cleanliness of Your Pool
Keeping your pool sparkling clean does not have to be as difficult as you might think, with the assistance of these hints and tips. The key is regular, routine care. Even if you have a pool cleaner routinely cleaning the pool, there are still a few things you can do on your own to ensure your pool stays in good condition year-round. Some are some basic tips and tricks from a pool cleaning service on all aspects of your pool to keep it happy and healthy.
Manually Vacuuming The Pool
A pool should be vacuumed at least every week to keep the water clear of debris and reduce the number of chemicals you need to add to it. Daily vacuuming can reduce staining and chemical use due to the quick removal of leaves and other biological matter.
Pool Scrubbing
Regular brushing of the walls and tile helps minimize algae buildup and calcium deposits so they don’t fester and become larger problems. The material your pool walls are made of dictates what cleaning tools you should use.
Pool Skimming
Skimming the pool’s surface with a skimmer shovel every few days is one of the fastest ways to keep your pool clean. Use a long-handled net to remove leaves, bugs, and other unwanted items.
Cartridge Filters
Swimming pool filter cartridges allow water to pass through a very fine filter surface. This paper filter surface captures any impurities that attempt to pass through and hold them until you clean the filter cartridge or replace it. Cartridge filters have more surface area than sand filters. This allows for fewer clogs and relatively easy maintenance. Cartridge filters also operate at a much lower pressure than sand (provided the cartridge element is kept clean). This causes less back pressure on the pump so you have a greater flow of water through the system allowing higher efficiency.
