After the storm: steps to recover your pool water<\/strong><\/h2>\nOnce the storm has passed, act quickly<\/strong> to prevent further deterioration:<\/p>\n\n- Remove visible debris<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Use a leaf net or pool cleaner to remove leaves, branches, and insects.<\/p>\n
\n- Empty and clean the skimmer basket<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
It’s likely full of debris. Clean it to maintain water flow to the filter.<\/p>\n
\n- Clean the filter<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
If clogged, perform a deep clean or backwash to restore efficiency.<\/p>\n
\n- Check the water level<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Adjust if it’s too high, which may affect skimmer performance.<\/p>\n
\n- Test and balance chemical levels<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Measure pH, chlorine, and alkalinity. They are likely out of balance.<\/p>\n
\n- Shock chlorination<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
If the water is cloudy, green, or shows algae, apply a shock treatment.<\/p>\n
\n- Add flocculant if necessary<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
If particles remain suspended, use a flocculant to group them for easier filtration.<\/p>\n
\n- Filter continuously<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Run the filtration system for 8 to 12 hours<\/strong> to circulate and clean the water.<\/p>\nYour pool, always ready<\/strong><\/h2>\nStorms are inevitable, but their impact on your pool can be drastically reduced<\/strong> if you know what to do before and after. With just a few care steps, your pool will stay clean, safe, and ready to enjoy all summer long<\/strong>.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/blog.grepool.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/01-1.jpg\")

Summer storms can have a direct impact on your pool water and components. Rain brings in dirt, leaves, insects, and other debris that contaminate the water and affect its chemical balance. Additionally, rainwater dilutes treatment products, lowers chlorine levels, alters pH, and can lead to problems such as cloudy or green water and even algae …<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":5838,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[3,1],"tags":[326,22],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.grepool.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5810"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.grepool.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.grepool.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.grepool.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.grepool.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5810"}],"version-history":[{"count":29,"href":"https:\/\/blog.grepool.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5810\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5841,"href":"https:\/\/blog.grepool.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5810\/revisions\/5841"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.grepool.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/5838"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.grepool.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5810"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.grepool.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5810"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.grepool.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5810"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
