How do I maintain my new pool?

Maintaining your new pool is essential for keeping it clean, safe, and enjoyable for your family and friends. Here are some key steps to help you maintain your pool effectively:

1. Regular Cleaning: Skim the surface daily to remove debris like leaves and insects. Brush the walls and floor weekly to prevent algae buildup. Use a vacuum to clean the bottom of the pool, ensuring that all dirt and debris are removed.
2. Chemical Balance: Test the water regularly to check the pH, chlorine, alkalinity, and calcium levels. Maintaining the proper chemical balance is crucial for the health of your pool and swimmers. Aim for a pH of 7.2 to 7.8 and chlorine levels of 1-3 ppm.
3. Filtration System: Ensure your pool’s filtration system is running efficiently. Clean or replace the filter as needed, typically every 1-3 months, depending on usage and debris levels. Run the pump for at least 8-12 hours a day to keep the water circulating.
4. Water Level: Regularly check the water level and top it off as needed. Evaporation, splashing, and backwashing can lower the water level, which can affect the pump’s efficiency.

By following these steps and maintaining a consistent routine, you can keep your pool clean and inviting for years to come.
