Going on holiday and leaving your pool unattended can be a little worrying. Will the water stay clean? Will algae start to grow? Will the filtration system keep working properly? With a few simple steps before you leave, you can keep your pool in good condition and avoid any unpleasant surprises when you get back.
Clean the pool before you go
Remove any leaves and insects, clean the walls and floor, and empty the skimmer baskets. This will help prevent dirt from building up while you are away.
Check the water balance
Make sure the pH level is between 7.2 and 7.6 and check that there is enough disinfectant in the water. Keeping the water balanced helps prevent algae and allows the treatment to work more effectively.
Set the filtration system
Use a timer so the filtration system runs for a few hours each day. Before leaving, check that the pump and filter are clean and working properly.
Use a dispenser
A floating or automatic dispenser slowly releases the disinfectant into the water, helping to keep it protected for several days.
Cover the pool
A pool cover helps keep out leaves, dust and insects. It also reduces evaporation and makes the pool easier to maintain.
What to do when you get back
When you return, check the pH and disinfectant levels again. Remove any dirt from the surface, clean the filter and use a pool cleaner if needed.
Enjoy your holiday without worrying about the pool
Looking after your pool while you are away does not have to be difficult. A good clean, balanced water, scheduled filtration and a pool cover will help keep the water in good condition and make maintenance much easier when you return.
