The swimming pool is a great place for kids and adults to spend the day, but it also requires regular maintenance. This helps limit algae growth and other problems that can make the water unsafe for swimmers. Performing these tasks regularly can help extend the life of your pool and equipment and reduce repair bills.
One of the best things you can do to ensure your pool stays clean is to skim the surface daily with a skimmer net. This removes any new leaves, bugs and debris that have fallen in the water. Then, brush the walls and floor one or two times a week to free up dirt that has settled on the surfaces. Vacuuming the pool at least once a week is also important to keep the water free of debris and dirt.
It is also recommended that you backwash the filter about once a month. To do this, first turn off the filter system and connect a hose to the waste port on the multiport valve. Then, open the skimmer valve and allow the water to flow through for about two minutes. Once the water has finished flowing through, close the skimmer valve and return the hose to the filter setting.
It is also important to test your pool water at least once a week for chemical imbalances and other issues that can throw off the balance of the water. Keeping the levels of chlorine, alkalinity and pH balanced can prevent bacteria, algae, fungus and other organisms from growing in your pool water.
