MAINTAINING YOUR POOL* |
| |
- Circulation
For
maximum sanitizer effectiveness throughout the entire
pool the water must be circulated. The more your pool
water is in motion, the harder iti s for bacteria
and algae to take hold and grow. Another advantage
is the more water that is passed throughthe filter,
the more debris is captured. the best time to circulate
the water is during the day, for 10 hours or more.
- Filtration
The
filter is one of the most important pieces of equipment
in your pool's system. It removes both visible debris
and most microscopic matter. A filter usually should
be backwashed, which is the removal of material trapped
on or in the filter media, when the water pressure
in the filter reaches eight to ten pounds above normal.
(Make sure to check the manufacturer's guidelines.
Because backwashing does not remove oils and deeply
imbedded debris, every filter needs to be chemically
cleaned regularly. Town and Country Pools can help
you establish a filter maintenance program.
- Cleaning
The
walls and floor of your pool needs to be brushed regularly.
All swimming pools have certain areas that have little
or no circulation. This is where algae and bacteria
can begin to grow. At least once a week, the walls
and floors should be brushed and vacuumed to remove
debris that the filter misses. Even if you use an
automatic pool cleaner or retain a weekly service,
brushing is a must!
- Testing
Every
pool has certain chemical characteristics which must
be regularly measured. Most important are the pH and
the level of active sanitizer. By testing these two
factors at regular intervals, you'll e able to understand
how bather load, weather and product application affect
the water. Test your pool water two or three times
per week. Plan to bring a sample of pool water to
Town and Country Pools, your BioGuard® Authorized
Pool & Spa Care Center, at pool opening and closing,
and every four to six weeks thereafter. This will
ensure that proper balance is maintained and greatly
reduce the potential risk for problems.
- Proper
Water Maintenance
The
last step in a total pool maintenance program is the
right application of products to your pool water in
a timely manner. Your three objectives are:
- Provide
a sanitary swimming environment.
- Chemically
balance the water to protect the equipment and
the pool. Unbalanced pool water can permanently
damage both.
- Provide
clear, sparkling water free of algae growth for
all bathers.
