Pool Maintenance Tips
Check pool chemistry 2-3 times per week during the
summer and once per week in the winter, see the WATER
CHEMISTRY page for more information.
Clean out your skimmer basket weekly, or as
needed depending on weather.
Clean pump basket every couple of weeks or as
needed.
Check and monitor water level every week, adjust
as needed.
Check chlorine production at least once per
week; adjust as necessary to maintain adequate chlorine
levels.
Clean canister or backwash your filter sand
filter, this may be necessary after a heavy storm or
once every few months depending on conditions in your
pool. It would be best to clean them about every 4-6
months.
Soak dirty filters in a 10% solution of muriatic
acid or a solution of TSP (trisodium phosphate which
you can get in a home brewing store) using a rubbish
bin or large bucket.
Wipe/clean along the waterline weekly to prevent/
reduce build-up.
If you have a salt water chlorinator check the
cells/ electrodes about every 30 days. If the red flow
light or flow meter is on or reading less than normal,
or if the cells are encrusted with a white build up
then they are likely calcified and producing little
to no chlorine. Turn the pump off, bleed off any pressure,
undo the unions and clean the blades per the manufacturer's
recommendations.
Always keep chemicals stored out of direct sunlight.
Keep them in a cool dry place. Do NOT store acid and
chlorine right next to each other.
Your pool should not need to be shocked on any
regular basis if you maintain it correctly. If you need
to shock your pool do it at night.
If you start seeing any cracks around the perimeter
of your pool between your deck and your tile, caulk
it with a small bead of clear silicon. Do not allow
the water to migrate from inside the pool in and under
the deck through cracks at this joint.
Keep vegetation, animals, chemicals (like fertilizers)
away from and out of the pool. Nitrates from bird droppings
and waste from animals and people are food for algae.
Don't feed the algae!
