Tips for cleaning the pool

Having a pool at home can be a very relaxing and refreshing leisure option, but it can be a lot of work too, especially when it comes to cleaning it.

However, devoting a few hours a week to maintaining cleanliness and using the right tools properly can make the work less tedious and tedious. Check out tips that will help her in cleaning the pool.

Clean the pool around frequently

The first step in keeping a pool always clean is to remove the dirt and debris that has accumulated around it. Remove leaves, twigs, and other debris that may have accumulated near the edge. When sweeping around the pool, do it in the opposite direction to the water to prevent further accumulation of dirt within the pool.

After removing excess dirt, apply specialized edge cleaning products and clean them with a sponge. Try to clean the edges frequently, work that should be more intense in summer, as the use of the pool is greater.

Check the filter

Another tip is to check the filter, usually located at the bottom of the pool. The filter must be kept clean to ensure proper operation of the suction system and cleanliness of the water.

Pay attention to the color and appearance of the water.

The water can turn green with the presence of algae or the lack of treatment and maintenance of your pool. To solve the problem, brush the pool walls to remove any algae that may be present and clean the water with algae-specific products.

Greasy water? Pool water may appear greasy due to overuse of suntan lotion and sunscreen or due to improper functioning of filter strainer. To solve the problem, chlorinate the water and check the filter baffle.

Already brown water indicates the presence of suspended materials or a large amount of inorganic matter, such as clay and dust. This usually happens when water is not filtered daily. The solution in this case is to decant and vacuum the bottom of the pool.

How to apply chlorine

Chlorine is one of the main substances used in pool cleaning, so it is essential to apply it effectively. To do this, before applying it, analyze the pool parameters (alkalinity, pH, cyanuric acid and free chlorine) and adjust them when necessary. Dilute chlorine in a container outside the pool and then spread the product across the surface. Filter and redo parameter analysis.
