Water Chemistry: Five Steps For Maintaining Clean Pool Water

Summer time means pool time, and it is very important to keep swimming pools in top condition during swimming season. A sparkling blue swimming pool is easy to achieve by just following five simple steps: Skim and Brush, Balance, Chlorine, Shock, and Algaecide.

It is recommended to skim debris out of the pool daily. Make sure to remove leaves, insects, and other unwanted items with the use of a hand/leaf skimmer or a long-handled net. Once a week, clean the walls and floor by using a brush and a vacuum to keep the water clear and to minimize the amount of chemicals added to it.

The water balance should be tested on weekly basis to ensure health and cleanliness. This is done by dipping a strip of paper in the water. The test strips contain dyes that change color. Just match the strip to the color chart to determine the pool’s pH level. Doing this determines which products the pool needs.

Chlorinate the water to sanitize it and kill bacteria. Stabilized chlorine products are available in tablets or sticks.

Superchlorinate or “shock” the pool water once a week to get rid of the harsh odor and cloudiness.

Add algaecide to prevent algae from starting or growing in the pool. This should be added after every shock treatment.

By consistently doing these steps, the swimming pool can remain in good condition for years.
