Weekly Pool Maintainenace
Maintaining weekly pool care will help to make sure that the pool is clean and safe throughout the swimming season. Here are some important steps to help in making sure your weekly pool maintenance routine is up to par.
Step 1: Make sure to skim your pool for debris.
Removing debris from your pool will help to keep your pool looking clear. If you maintain this you will have a better shot to make sure that the debris don't sink to the bottom of your pool or that the debris don't clog your filtration system.
Step 2: Brush your Pool
Algae and debris can gather on the walls of your pool, pool fixture like ladders and slides. Brushing the pool walls and fixtures each week to remove dirt can help to prevent the spread of algae.
Step 3: Vacuum your Pool
Once the algae and dirt have been brushed from the walls it can easily be vacuumed up, along with any other debris that has floated to the bottom of the pool. There are 3 types of vacuums that you can use. All will get the job done!
- Robotic vacuums are energy-efficient and work separate from your pool's existing filtration system.
- Pressure vacuums utilize a pressure line from the filtration system to move around your pool. They require a pool pump and usually an extra booster pump to run.
- Suction vacuums use the water flow from your filtration system and attach to either a dedicated suction port or skimmer. They are the most affordable option.
