Keeping your pool crystal clear requires more than occasionally skimming leaves. The ideal cleaning schedule depends on weather, usage, and your pool’s environment. Follow these guidelines to strike the perfect balance.
Skim Debris: Remove leaves, bugs, and floating debris to prevent staining and filter clogs. Empty Baskets: Check skimmer and pump baskets for debris buildup that restricts flow.
Vacuum and Brush: Scrub walls and vacuum floors to remove dirt and algae spores before they establish. Test Water: Check pH, alkalinity, and sanitizer levels—and adjust as needed.
Inspect Equipment: Look for leaks, cracks, or noise in pumps, heaters, and filters. Backwash or Clean Filter: Cartridge filters should be hosed off; sand filters need backwashing.
Shock Treatment: After heavy use or storms, super-chlorinate to oxidize contaminants. Deep Inspection: Hire a pro for a thorough equipment check before the high or low season.
