| Even the best chemical maintenance will
not keep your pool water clean without an efficient filtration system. The filter system
circulates the water in your pool and removes debris and insoluble particles. If your
filtration system is working properly, the chemicals you use will be more effective. To
keep your filter clean, follow the manufacturer’s instructions regarding backwashing
and general maintenance.
Q:How long should I run my filter system?
A: 24 hours per day is ideal and will minimize your chemical costs! The
minimum for a residential pool is 12 hours per day.
Pool Cleaning
Regular pool cleaning helps maintain safe, sparkling water and saves money
in chemicals. You should do the following as often as possible, but at least weekly:
- Empty the pump and skimmer baskets.
- Brush down the walls.
- Remove floating debris with a leaf skimmer.
- Vacuum the pool bottom.
- Clean the tile line.
Q: How can I spend less time cleaning the
pool?
A: See your Pool dealer! A
quality automatic pool cleaner and a constant rate chlorinator can dramatically reduce
your cleaning and maintenance time! |
