Swimming Pool Maintenance


For health, hygiene and esthetics, the pool has to be well maintained throughout the year, even when not in useFew things can so disfigure the image of our garden and a swimming pool with murky water stained wallsNot to mention now that high temperatures are present, and the excellent state of water is a requirement.
The filter should operate for several hours every day. It is important to follow allmanufacturer's guidelines when opening and closing valves, changing the litter(usually every 4 yearsand cleaning the prefilter. This should aim the bottom once ortwice a week when not in use, and four or five when you're using.The products we use are few and easy to apply. You have to control the pH weekly,in order to keep it between 7.2 and 7.6. If you leave these parameters, we increased or pH reducer. Outside of these expected values, not chlorine works.
The latter is the one who keeps the pool clean and free of the vast majority of germs,so it is crucial. Were monitored weekly in summer more often, and must be between 1 and 1.5 ppm (in the market sell strips or control reagents). If you are using chlorinetablets can not come loose, because the background stainingSold devices that float and have a compartment for pills for this purpose.

Also you must put a weekly dose of algae, appropriate to the number of liters of the pool. Otherwise change the color of water unpleasantlyIf the water gets cloudy, apply a fluculante, a substance that increases the size of the particles that arefloating and are small enough for the filter to stop them.
It's a matter of perseverance and a little work, but worth it. Even doing all that above and you can find a solution contact a professional to maintain your pool, that is the best recommendation
