ensures your comfort during the hot months only if you take good care of it and

to make sure the water is healthy and the walls, the bottom and the fixtures in
it are also free from dirt:
-
Test the water twice a week –
submerge a test strip into the water to check the water quality at the
beginning and the end of each week. The pH of you water should be in the 7.4-7.6
range and chlorine levels at 1.0-3.0 ppm;
-
Skim the water whenever you
test it – use a skimming net to remove any debris from the water surface;
-
Brush and vacuum every week –
the walls and the bottom of your pool needs weekly cleaning;
-
Add sanitizers every week –
correct the quality of the water with pool chemicals and also add some algae
preventer on a weekly basis;
-
Filter cleaning – check and
clean your filters at least twice a year;

Check the quality of the water
and do the necessary cleaning after rainy days, windy days as well as after
