Tip Of The Week - Cracks

Watch out for cracks when observing the space between your tiles and pool deck. Whenever you notice a crack, throw in some silicon beads so that water will not migrate under the cracks. Water seepage can impair the integrity of your pool as the pool water itself is very damaging when allowed into cracks and crevices.

Tip Of The Week - PH Matters

The pH levels of your pool need to be checked every week The pH level is recommended for 7.2 at the least and 7.8 at the maximum. As pH rises, the less effective the chlorine becomes and at the lower limit, the better it is for your pool.

Tip Of The Week - Check the water level of your pool

Be sure to always keep an eye on how much water is in your pool. Aside from just keeping things looking nice, your pool was meant to have a specific amount of water in it.

If you don’t keep the water at the right level, this could have an adverse impact on the pool filter. In fact, if it gets too low, it can damage the pump your pool filter runs off of.

Tip Of The Week - Find Leaks in Your Swimming Pool - Try the Bucket Test

For both in-ground and above-ground pools, you can use a bucket to see if your pool is leaking. Fill a bucket with water up to one inch from the top. Mark the water level in the bucket. Also, mark the level of the pool's water on a sidewall. Wait 24 hours and check both water levels. If the level in the pool is significantly lower than that in the bucket, you have a leak.

Tip Of The Week - Wash the Deck

Sweep the area surrounding your pool to remove leaves, grass clippings, and other debris that will potentially end up back in the pool. Spray the area with a high-pressure hose or pressure washer to remove algae growth and chemical residue. Occasionally, you may need to disinfect your pool's deck to remove algae growth and bacteria. Use a specialized pool deck cleaner and a stiff brush to clean the area thoroughly.

Tip Of The Week - Vacuum the Floor

Attach your vacuum head and hose to the telescopic pole to clear debris from the bottom of your pool. To eliminate air from the system, lower the vacuum to the bottom of the pool and push the other end of the hose against a jet. When bubbles stop forming, the air is purged from the vacuum and you're ready to get to work.

Remove the strainer basket from your skimmer inlet and plug your vacuum hose into the suction port at the bottom of the skimmer.

Tip Of The Week -Brush the Walls

The walls of your pool need to be scrubbed to remove dirt, chemical residue, and potential algae growth. Grab that telescopic pole again and attach the pool brush. Brush the walls, ladder, and corners of your pool. Take the time necessary to ensure you don't skip any tight spaces that could allow algae to grow. Brushing pushes stuck-on dirt and algae into the water making it easier for chemicals or your pool vacuum to remove.

Tip Of The Week - Skim the Surface

For a sparkling pool Debris accumulates on your pool's surface every day. Removing this matter will keep the water fresh and allow you to deep clean less frequently. Attach your skimmer net to a telescopic pole and sweep it across your pool's surface to remove debris. As the net gets dirty, shake debris onto the ground before putting the net back into the water. Skimming the water daily will prevent debris from sinking to the bottom of the pool.
