Ways to Keep Pool Water Clean

Some pool owners prefer to leave backwashing to their pool technician, but they can perform it themselves.

Although professional pool maintenance is the most effective way to keep a pool clean and swimming-ready, there are a few things pool owners can do to keep their pool fresh and inviting.

Skim debris: Skim the pool daily to remove leaves and other debris before it can sink to the bottom of the pool.

Vacuum: Use a vacuum or brush the dirt and debris on the bottom toward the main drain to give the pool a clear, sparkling water effect.

Pool tarp: Use a pool tarp to keep out the dirt and particles. A pool cover can also help with heating and reduce evaporation.

Empty baskets: The baskets in the skimmers and pump fill up with leaves, bugs, and other debris. Clean them daily to reduce the work the professional technician must do.

Backwashing: Some pool owners prefer to leave backwashing to their pool technician, but they can perform it themselves.

Winterize the pool: An excellent winterizing kit will have everything a pool owner needs to protect their pool and make reopening the pool far less complex when the next swimming season comes around.

Clean filters: Clean the filters regularly and replace them every two to five years. Filters help keep the water clean without using harsh chemicals.

While professional pool maintenance is the best solution to pool ownership, there are steps the owner can take to ensure the pool is always enjoyable and ready for splashing.
