If you own a swimming pool then you are probably aware that if you don’t maintain your pool properly it will soon start to turn green. This sort of green water is a result of algae formation in the water and it is a common complaint amongst pool owners. As long as you stick to a schedule you can make sure that you stop algae from forming in your pool. You can then enjoy your pool with out the worry of contracting infections as a result of bacteria and germs living in the water. It is easy to check how clean the water is by using a test kit. These are cheap to buy and will tell you how much swimming pool chemicals need to be added to your pool. Using a test kit to check your regulary is sensible as different conditions effect the water causing swimming pool chemicals to react differently so here are some tips to keep your pool clean.

1. Keep An Eye On The Weather – The weather can effect the conditions of your pool dramatically. If you have a lot of rain and wind it will cause the pool chemicals to be used up more quickly. If you live somewhere where you have a hot and humid climate then the chemicals are likely to react at a faster rate. One of the best ways of dealing with this problem is to regularly give your pool shock treatments.

2. Put In Some Elbow Grease – Keeping the water topped up with swimming pool chemicals is only part of the cleaning job. Brushing algae off of the swimming pool liner and around the pool will also help. You should also get a good vacuum to clean the bottom of the pool. Automatic robot vacuums are perfect for this as you can just leave them to clean the bottom of the pool when you aren’t using it. You will still want to skim the water with a net to remove any leaves or other debris that might clog up the vacuum or filter.

3. Take Care Of Your Filter – It is sensible to monitor your swimming pool filter and take care of it. Making sure that swimming pool filters remain undamaged and clear from leaves can save you a lot of hassle in the long run. If yours uses a paper filter then keep a supply of replacements so you can change them as neeeded. Those of you that have sand filters will need to back wash them regularly to keep them well maintained.
