Summer is the time of year when <\/span>pool maintenance<\/b> is paramount. It\u2019s three intense months during which you must take care of all the details to enjoy the best swim possible. Let<\/span> GRE<\/span><\/a> offer you some advice on how to take care of your pool.<\/span><\/p>\n

The main component of a pool is the water, and the ultimate goal is to keep it clean and clear on a daily basis. To achieve this, you must check the pH levels every day to ensure <\/span>they are between 7 and 7.6<\/b>. If they fall outside of this range, swimmers may experience skin and irritation. The tool used to measure the pH level of water is a pH meter. Another very important factor in <\/span>pool maintenance<\/b> is sanitation, a task that prevents the appearance of dirt or algae. These levels are regulated through frequent use of chlorine tablets, the number of which depends on the manufacturer and size of the pool. It is advisable to add the chlorine at night since it should never be added when someone is in the water.<\/span><\/p>\n

Summer <\/span>pool maintenance<\/b> also encompasses cleaning tasks performed by the filter, which should be run for at least six hours a day to ensure proper cleaning. The filter picks up leaves, insects, and dirt that has accumulated on the sides and bottom of the pool. As with chlorine, <\/span>it is recommended to program the filter so that it runs at night<\/b>, when no one is swimming. To make this task easier, skim your pool and remove any dirt that has accumulated every time before you swim. A very useful tool for cleaning the sides and bottom is an automatic pool cleaner. It can be run a couple of times a week to remove the dirt that has accumulated and any leftover chlorine.<\/span><\/p>\n

Algicides and Exterior Cleaning<\/b><\/h2>\n

One of the major concerns when it comes to summer <\/span>pool maintenance<\/b> is the water turning green. This can be avoided by using algicides every two weeks. Read the instructions carefully beforehand. In addition to using products and automated programs, <\/span>pool maintenance<\/b> requires <\/span>manual cleaning of both the filtration system and the equipment used, as well as <\/b>skimmers<\/b><\/a>. These will keep your pool clean and must be in optimum condition for everything to run smoothly.<\/span><\/p>\n

Another important detail in <\/span>pool maintenance<\/b> is cleaning the exterior surface, that is, the area around the pool. Another important task that cannot be neglected is <\/span>regularly cleaning the pavement, edges, entrances, and shower<\/b>. If you have grass, this must be taken care of as well. Keep in mind that any dirt that comes from this area can end up in the water, which makes the task more complicated.<\/span><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
