Do you have trouble keeping your pool clean?  Try these tips:

  • Check your chlorine and Ph levels daily; add chemicals as needed.
  • Chlorinate daily with tabs, or fill your automatic chlorinator on a weekly basis.
  • Add algaecide every week.  Or, add a bottle of three-month bottle of algaecide at the beginning of the season.
  • Get into the habit of vacuuming your pool on a weekly basis.
  • After it rains, drain your pool back to its normal level, add chlorine (or shock) and algaecide.
  • Run your pool filter 8 hours each day.  Consider having an electrician install a timer so that your filter turns on and off automatically.
  • Try to pick the same day every week to maintain your pool.  For example: Every Wednesday vacuum your pool, brush walls and floor, fill your automatic chlorinator, and add algaecide.

Now you can enjoy your clean pool.  Happy swimming!
