The Beginners Guide to Pool Maintenance
The pool in your backyard is surely one of your
most precious assets, a component of your landscape that makes hot summer
afternoons enjoyable and gives you the opportunity to host the best parties in
the neighbourhood. However, your pool needs your attention and energy to serve
you well – here is how to handle basic pool maintenance tasks:
-
Know the basic components of
your pool – the parts of your pool that you will need to work with are the pool
water, the walls and the bottom of the pool, the filters and the system of
skimmers and returns.
Consult the manual that comes with your pool or ask the pool cleaning Plano specialists who have installed your pool to explain you about these components;
-
Ensuring water quality – you
will need a skimming net and a pool vacuum to ensure the proper cleanliness of
the water in your pool. Use the net at least once a week to remove any leaves,
dead bugs and other debris from the surface of the water and vacuum your pool
to remove all the dirt and debris from the pool walls and the bottom;
-
Test the quality of the water
and use the right chemicals – the pH level, the alkalinity level and the level
of the sanitizers in the pool water are all important. Use a water testing kit
to determine the chemistry of your water and learn to make it balanced.
