While you have pumps
and filters to help you keep your pool clean, you shouldn’t
solely rely on them. Doing so can easily result in a worn-out pump
and full filters, which can further lead to costly repairs or
replacements.
Luckily,
there are many ways to keep your pool clean and your filtration
system running smoothly. The best part is that many of these methods
do not require a large amount of effort on your part. These
keep-clean methods include:
Pool Covers
Hate
having to fish out leaves from your pool? Invest in a pool cover! You
don’t even need the fancy automatic pool covers you see on the
telly. All you need is a large enough tarpaulin cover, and you’ll
keep out pretty much everything you want out of your pool.
No Eating in the
Pool
Accumulated food debris
like potato chip crumbs can clog filters quickly. Enforce a “no
eating in the pool” rule at all times. If your kids want a snack,
ask them to get out of the pool and eat in the patio; restrict your
kids from grabbing a bite while swimming.
Super Chlorinate
When a pool is used
very often, organic contaminants like ammonia will outbalance your
pool’s chlorine levels. When this happens, your pool will smell
heavily of chlorine. You can easily fix this by dumping a bag of
“shock” into the water. This corrects the chemical balance of
your pool and makes it safe for use.
