Pool Care

How do you keep your swimming pool free from debris and algae, and make sure chemical levels are safe?

Well, there are a few basic pool maintenance procedures one should follow. These are in the form of daily, weekly and 'as required' pool care routines.

Daily Pool Care Routines

  • Look at the water on a daily basis. Notice clarity and colour. If any of these look out of the ordinary, one may then delve deeper into the cause of the difference;
  • At the very minimum, check weir and skimmer baskets (socks) for collected debris and remove debris. This will ensure the system operates at peak performance;
  • Remove any surface debris with a pool 'scoop' net;
  • Ensure your filtration system runs daily for at least 8 hours, preferably during the day. Circulation is critical to maintaining a sparkling pool; and
  • Check that automatic pool cleaner is moving correctly.

Weekly Pool Care Routines

  • Perform the daily pool care procedures plus the following:
  • Check pump basket for collected debris and remove debris;
  • Backwash and Rinse your filtration system;
  • Check pool water chemical balance. Unbalanced chemical levels can affect water clarity, damage equipment and cause corrosion. Make use of the following table to ensure correct chemical levels in your swimming pool. Most commercially available pool test kits can be used to check water chemistry, even in salt water pools.
Salt Concentration (if applicable) 5000ppm (0.5%)
pH 7.2 to 7.6
Chlorine Stabiliser (cyanuric acid) 50 to 90ppm
Total Hardness Less than 400ppm
Total Alkalinity 80 to 120ppm

'As Required' Pool Care Routines

  • For those of you who do not have an automatic pool cleaner, 'vacuum' your pool when necessary;

  • Backwash your filter after 'vacuuming' or when your automatic pool cleaner has cleaned a pool that has become more than usually dirty. From time to time, natural occurrences like high winds or storms may lead to a pool becoming very dirty;

  • If you have a pool heater, check it for debris;

  • Check filtration system timer 'current time' setting after a power outage has been restored;

  • Clean pool equipment regularly, and be on the lookout for leaks, etc.
