For many Australians getting a pool in their own backyard is the ultimate dream. However, after getting a pool is when you realise how essential it is to maintain and upkeep the pool throughout the year. Keeping your Adelaide swimming pool maintained is one of the most important aspects and it can be tough for any pool owner to know where they’re going wrong.  How often do you need to clean a pool and how to maintain your pool between scheduled services? In this article, we will detail a few of the best ways those pool owners can keep their pool ready for the Summer season

The Basics

These days maintaining your pool is much easier with technology advancing. How often you should be cleaning your pool depends on the pool’s size, the season, the type of pool, and how often it is used. Proper pool cleaning can be a tedious task and that is why it is recommended to get professionals to look after your pool cleaning and maintenance. Appropriate pool cleaning requires tasks that are carried out on a regular; weekly, fortnightly or monthly basis. We make pool cleaning easy!

Skim Debris Often

For tasks such as skimming debris off your pool, consider the frequency. As debris falls into your pool, lighter debris will float on the surface of the water. It is recommended to skim this with your leaf scoop when you see anything floating on the surface. Keeping your pool clean of debris will also help to maintain a healthy pH balance.

Maintain Pool’s Water Level

During the hot summer months, your pool will get utilised more and also lose water due to evaporation. It is important to ensure that your pool’s water level remains at least halfway up the skimmer. Keep replenishing the pool with a garden hose and do not forget to re-balance your pool.

Keep Pool Walls Clean

Easily overlooked by pool owners, keeping the walls and tiles in your in-ground pool clean will ensure that algae don’t have a chance to build up and grow. Unclean pools wreak havoc on the pH balance.

Keep your Pool Filters Clean

Keeping your pool filters clean is crucial to ensuring your system is operating efficiently. In summer, try and clean your filters at least weekly and in winter monthly. The more often you clean your filter, the clearer the water will be from debris. To assist with fine particles in your pool water, add some clarifier to help clump them together, so they can exit through your filtration.

Monitor and Maintain Your Pool’s pH Balance

The pH balance of your pool’s water is one of the most important factors in keeping your pool clean, safe, and healthy. It is essential to maintain the delicate balance between the acidity and alkalinity of the pool water to keep it safe for swimming and to ensure that cleaning agents work at their best.
