1. Check the water level and add water as necessary to maintain a level.
Pool water levels should be maintained between the fill line and the top of the skimmer. If the water level is too low, the pump will work harder to bring the water up to the correct level which can shorten the life of the pump.
2. Clean the pool filter.
The pool filter should be cleaned every 2-4 weeks, depending on the amount of use the pool receives. If the filter is not cleaned regularly, it will become clogged and will not be able to properly clean the water.
3. Skim the pool surface.
The pool surface should be skimmed every day to remove any debris that has accumulated. Debris can clog the filter and can also be a safety hazard.
4. Vacuum the pool bottom.
The pool bottom should be vacuumed every week to remove any debris that has accumulated. Clogged filters caused by debris pose a danger and can be hazardous, so regular maintenance is essential.
5. Check pH level and adjust as necessary.
The pH level should be checked every week and adjusted as necessary. If the pH level is not adjusted, the water will not be able to properly clean the pool and the filter will become clogged.
6. Check chlorine level and adjust as necessary.
The chlorine level should be checked every week and adjusted as necessary. If the chlorine level is not adjusted, the water will not be able to properly clean the pool and the filter will become clogged.
7. Check alkalinity level and adjust as necessary.
The alkalinity level should be checked every week and adjusted as necessary. If the alkalinity level is not adjusted, the water will not be able to properly clean the pool and the filter will become clogged.
8. Check calcium hardness level and adjust as necessary.
The calcium hardness level should be checked every week and adjusted as necessary. If the calcium hardness level is not adjusted, the water will not be able to properly clean the pool and the filter will become clogged.
