Tips To Keep Swimming Pool Water Clean

Swimming in a crystal clear pool can be fun and interesting. But to get this crystal clear pool can be quite challenging, isn't it? No worries, we can help you achieve it. In this blog post, we will be sharing important tips to keep your swimming pool water clean. Read on!

Skim debris

If you have an open pool, chances are more for the wind to blow debris into the pool. In such situations, you should use a leaf skimmer to get the debris out. This will make your pool look clean.

Vacuum the pool

When it comes to pool maintenance, vacuuming is a must! Vacuums help to remove the hard to reach debris. It is advised to vacuum the pool on a weekly basis to get a crystal clear pool.

Clean the pool filter

Swimming pool filters require periodic cleaning to dislodge the dirt accumulated in it. Once the filter is cleaned, water will flow freely through it. Always remember, A clean filter makes the pool clean and vice versa.

Check your water level

Maintaining the right water level is a must to keep your pool crystal clear. The too low water level can burn out the pool pump whereas too high water level won't let the skimmer work properly and will let the debris in. As a general rule of thumb: at the ideal water level, the pool skimmer will be covered halfway with water.

Monitor chemical levels

Proper chemical level and pH value is the key to attaining a crystal clear pool. Chlorine plays a crucial role in destroying germs and bacteria in the pool water. It is advised to use a water testing kit to measure the pH and chlorine levels in pool water. The ideal chlorine level is between 1.0 and 3.0 ppm whereas the pH level should fall between 7.2 and 7.6.

Use algaecide

Algae growth is the most frustrating issue faced by swimming pool owners. Algaes can turn the pool water yellow, green, or even cloudy and make the pool water unusable. Hence, It is recommended to treat the water with an algaecide once a week to kill growing algae or lingering bacteria in the pool.
