You should test your water at least weekly during the swim season and adjust pH, alkalinity, sanitizer, and calcium hardness as needed. This keeps water clear, safe, and protects your equipment.
For most pools, 8 hours per day is sufficient to achieve full turnover. If you have a variable-speed pump, you may run it longer—but at lower energy use.
Sand filters: Backwash when the pressure is 8–10 psi above clean reading, or about once a month.
Cartridge filters: Clean when pressure spikes, and more frequently if usage or debris is high. We clean cartridge filters every visit.
Brushing at least once a week helps prevent algae, waterline buildup, and stains. It’s essential even when using an automatic cleaner or pool robot because some areas don’t get adequate circulation.
Cloudiness usually stems from improper water balance or poor circulation. To clear it up: test and balance water, shock if necessary, clean/replace filters, and ensure proper pump and skimmer function.
Use the bucket test: Fill a bucket to match the pool’s water level, and set it on a step (so the water levels line up) and leave it for a week. If the pool drops more than the bucket, you might have a leak.
Yes—year-round care is advised. Winter tasks include balancing chemical levels, protecting equipment, and ensuring nothing freezes or gets damaged.
Prevention is key—maintain clean, balanced water, good circulation, and regular brushing. If algae blooms, use the proper algaecide and follow up with shock treatment if needed.
Free chlorine is active disinfectant.
Total chlorine includes both free chlorine and chloramines (used-up sanitizer). Chloramines should stay under 0.4 ppm—if they exceed that, shock the pool.
Sanitation combines filtration (removing debris via skimmer and filters) and disinfection (typically with chlorine or bromine) to protect against pathogens. Proper chemical balance (pH7.2–7.8; alkalinity 80–120 ppm; calcium hardness 200–400 ppm) is critical.
Install a variable-speed pump.
Use a pool cover to reduce heat loss and evaporation
Not typically. Keeping water in the pool through winter is protective. Use a quality cover and follow best practices to avoid freeze damage.
