Swimming
pools provide delightful leisure time for most people, as the cool
water usually feels good and relaxing for sore muscles and fatigued
bodies. However, owners must also do their part in keeping their
pools in top shape so they can enjoy it more. Here are some things
owners tend to forget, but shouldn’t, in maintaining their pools:
Overlooking the
water chemistry levels
Check
your pool’s chemistry levels once a week during winter and twice a
week during warmer months, lest you risk microorganism activity that
can not only shorten the service life of your pool, but also endanger
your family’s health and safety. Modify pH levels, calcium hardness
and alkalinity levels accordingly.
Not running pumps
long enough
Turning
off your pumps can help you save on electricity bills, but it also
makes you spend more on service maintenance as lack of water
circulation can promote algae growth and spread out debris. Always
remember that great water flow is often the key to a well-maintained
swimming pool.
Neglecting to
brush the pool
You’re
vacuuming your swimming pool so it’s all good, yes? Not quite,
because vacuum heads don’t really reach deeply to stop algae from
growing on the sides of your pool. Choose to routinely scrape and
sweep your pool with a nylon brush after you vacuum for more
effective cleaning.
