CLEANER WATER FOLLOW A ROUTINE
DAILY • Make sure you check the skimmer basket which must be cleared of any debris. If it isn’t then fresh, clear water can’t circulate around the pool.
• Debris such as leaves, twigs, and insects must be cleared from the surface using a leaf net.
WEEKLY • Check the pH level of the pool. This is important as you need to get the right balance of the water.
• The pH level is the measure of acidity or alkalinity in the water. The pH level needs to be slightly on the alkaline side which is a reading of about 7.2 to 7.6. It is at this level that chlorine is most effective. Moreover this level is similar to the pH of our skin. The readings can be controlled by adding either an acid or an alkali.
after adding more chlorine. Also test your pH levels since they are often affected after adding chlorine. Do this before you let anyone swim. If necessary, add the correct chemicals to bring your levels back to normal. Follow all manufacturer directions and test again before allowing swimmers in the pool.
