Run pump and filter 24 hours a day; the more you filter and circulate your pool water the less chemicals you will require and you will be less likely to experience water quality problems.
Adjust jets downwards at a 45 degree angle to create a moving circulation pattern in the pool and away from the skimmer basket.
Vacuum at regular intervals. Keep pool clean and free of debris such as leaves and other materials.
Dirt, oil scum, and smog scum must be cleaned regularly from pool’s surface with a tile and vinyl cleaner. The use of enzymes will greatly reduce oils and scum line around pool.
Regular testing of water parameters and sanitizer are important.
Tip: Bring water sample to your Pool Professional Retailer every 3 weeks. Inadequate sanitizer levels may cause unsafe water for bathers. PH must be regulated to prevent damage to pool surfaces and to assist sanitizer performance. Smog and rain have a definite effect on pH.
Understand how to use filter gauge and backwash as required.
Clean filter sand at least once per season using a filter cleaning product.
Use a leaf net for seasonal periods of high debris accumulation in pool.
Repairs, replacement of equipment, and heavier maintenance tasks should be scheduled for the off season when the pool is inactive.
The heater should be serviced once per season by a licensed gas technician.
Carefully read instructions for correct dosage and application methods for all chemicals.
Follow recommended safety guidelines when handling and storing chemicals.
