Being able to jump into a cool and refreshing pool is a great way to enjoy summer. To get the most enjoyment from your pool, however, it’s important to keep it clean. Otherwise, fungi and bacteria will start to contaminate your pool water, making it less safe and less pleasant for people who want to go swimming. Here are some pool cleaning tips that you’ll want to follow.
Skim Any Debris Out of Your Pool Water
As time passes, leaves and other types of debris are bound to find their way into your pool water. This is especially true when the weather gets stormy and windy. You want to get rid of these types of debris because they’ll begin to clog up your pool filter, and sometimes even cause damage to your pool pump.
Scrub Your Pool
Along the sides of your swimming pool, it’s possible for dirt and algae to accumulate. That’s why part of your pool cleaning routine should include scrubbing down your pool so that all of this dirt is removed. It’s best to use a pool brush for this task. Harsh chemicals are not advised because they can cause damage to fiberglass, concrete, and tile.
Get Your Pool Filter Cleaned
The job of the pool filter is to trap small pieces of debris so that they don’t clog up your plumbing and cause damage to your pool pump. The dirtier your filter gets, however, the less effective it becomes. That’s why another part of pool cleaning involves cleaning your filter so that it’s able to operate as efficiently as possible.
