4 Simple Steps to Economically Keep Your Pool Maintained and Your Water Clear and Clean(1)

Keep the Pool Chemistry Balanced!

Well balanced pool water is essential for swimming enjoyment, prolonging the life of your pool equipment (pool liner, ladders, pumps, etc.), the life of your accessories (pool toys, rafts, inflatables), and decreasing the amount of work and maintenance that you must do to keep the pool looking nice and clean.

Balancing the water is simply maintaining the proper amount of chemicals in your swimming pool.

This can be as simple as doing the following:

1.) If you use chlorine tablets or sticks, always keep an ample supply of them in your chlorine reservoir.

2.) Shock the pool regularly. Depending on pool use and the time of year, you may need to shock your pool weekly, monthly, or even not much at all (in the winter). Most importantly, though, if your chlorine tablets or sticks run out make sure you shock.

3.) Add any balancing chemicals as needed.

If ever in doubt, simply have your water tested. The results will dictate what needs to be added to bring it up to optimal conditions.

The amount of chemicals to add is based on pool test results and the your pool size.
