Prevention products There are a few products
that can help you ensure that pool problems are
kept at bay from the word go you need to know
what products you should keep in your pool
cleaning kit so that they are always at hand when
they are required. The first one is a water
clarifier which can be used whenever you realize

This product helps to bind any small particles to
larger ones so they are easier to filter and
remove. You must ensure that you follow the
dosage instructions clearly because a dosage that
is too high will only make matters worse. A
filter cleaner should be used to clean your
filter and remove any dirt or oily film in the
filter so it can work more effectively.

Clean it weekly There are many people who feel
like pool cleaning is a real chore that they
should easily avoid. However, you need to set
aside at least an hour or two every week to
ensure that you have done this important task.

maintenance so an expert can come and help you

cover and getting pool supplies, sampling the
water and everything else in between.

and balance the pool water the pH levels ought
to be checked every single day so that pool can
be balanced as required so that the pH levels are
between 7.2 and 7.6. With anything higher than
that the chlorine will stop working and it will
become more susceptible to algae. If you find the
levels to be too high you can easily restore them
using sodium carbonate or sodium ash the pool
chemical supplier should advise you on the
dosage. The total alkalinity should be checked
once weekly or every other week the normal range
will help to stabilize the pH levels as well as
prevent rapid changes in the pH levels.

component associated with residential pool
maintenance the first thing to do is to talk to
your pool chemical supplier to show you the best
type of chlorine for your pool since you may want

compared to all the other while the granules can
chlorinate, shock and kill algae always remember
to follow the manufacturers instructions to the
letter.

maintenance demands that you run a monthly test

maintenance schedule is working and your pool is
