Pool Care: The Basics

Home  |   Pool Care

The basics of pool care can be broken down into categories. Cleaning and maintaining water chemistry.

1. Cleaning

 To insure good pool water maintenance we must remove particulate matter and dirt. This is achieved by water circulation of the pool through a filtering system. Also brushing and vacuuming of the pool's walls and sides will keep the pool from "growing" dirt or algae. With use of an automatic pool cleaner, this can be done at the same time as filtration. Cleaning the filter when needed will optimize this process.

2. Maintaining pool water chemistry

The balance of water chemistry in an above ground pool is attained by testing. The adding of chemicals alone will not keep your pool water balanced, you must test the pool and see which levels have to be adjusted and adding chemicals only as proscribed by the tests. For your pool to function at it's best, this balance must be maintained.

An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure and if you keep up with maintenance it will prevent the dreaded pool water problems that can occur when things get out of hand.
