Weekly Pool Maintenance

1. Check filter- The pressure of the pool filter can rise to dangerous levels if a clog forms. For this reason the debris basket on the filter should be emptied daily. The filter may need to be cleaned as well.
2. Skimming- It is important to use the skimmer daily to remove any debris from the top of the pool. Leaves, bugs, and more can collect in the water and will cause issues if not removed. Using a fine mesh net to remove this debris from the top of the water can save a lot of trouble later.
3. Vacuuming- Vacuuming, just like skimming, is the ounce of prevention that’s worth a pound of cure. Doing this daily can help make sure that the water and filter remain clean and safe.
4. Cleaning- Clean walls, tiles, and/or vinyl liners to prevent the build-up of algae.
5. Add chlorine or other sanitizer, test pool levels weekly as well, making sure that the chemicals levels are safe, and that the water level is high enough to operate the pump.
