Pool cleaning should be a top priority to maintain the beauty and operation of
your pool and to make sure that your pool is safe and health
Regular pool cleaning also protects your financial investment.
Here are some basic cleaning tips
-
Use a small hand-held leaf skimmer to help in cleaning the pool.
-
Clean the strainer baskets in the skimmer and pump.
-
Clean the tile and walls; tile is best cleaned with a soft brush and a pool
tile cleaner. The clearing of pool walls will depend on your surface: cement,
vinyl or fiberglass. Follow manufacturers’ suggested procedures.
-
Vacuum the pool at least once a week.
-
Test the water frequently and add chemicals if necessary, follow manufacturers'
directions.
-
If water turns cloudy, test for chemical balance; if necessary, backwash and
service the filter.
-
Keep the deck clean and clear of debris.

New automatic systems have units that “walk” along your pool floor.
These newer systems require practically no supervision. And you can still swim
while the system cleans your pool.
Remember to always store chemicals and cleaners in a safe and secure area away
from children and pets. Check expiration dates regularly. Use protective gear
and always follow manufacturers’ guidelines for use.
