Swimming Pool Maintenance Tips
We are continuing our series of articles discussing some tips on how you can keep your pool safe and healthy for swimming. Our previous articles discussed how chemicals work to help maintain pool water balance, balance total alkalinity, and also play a role in pool pH control. However, chemicals come with certain risks and can contribute to a muriatic acid swimming pool, so it is important to take steps to reduce the need for chemicals. We also discussed why it is important to keep pools free from debris and organic matter and also why swimming pools should be scrubbed and skimmed on a regular basis. Today, we will look at some additional swimming pool maintenance tips.
Check Pool Water Balance
Regularly test your pool water to ensure that it is balanced and safe for swimming. A pool testing kit allows you to measure pH levels, chlorine levels, alkalinity, and calcium hardness. Maintaining pool water balance and pool pH control is essential to keeping it healthy for swimming.
Take Notice of Damage or Cracks
Check the condition of your pool equipment and repair or replace any damaged parts.
Ensure that your pool equipment is in good working order, and all the parts are secure and not worn out. This includes pool filters, pumps, and skimmers. Poorly maintained equipment can lead to clogging, debris buildup, and other issues.
Consider Using a Pool Cover
A pool cover can help save on maintenance time and costs and reduce water evaporation by as much as 95%, minimizing the need to refill your pool as often.
Our next article will further discuss the ultimate way to keep your swimming pool healthy, well-maintained, and safe for swimmers.
