Ahhh…. if only it was that simple! |
| |
| Pool maintenance doesn’t need to be a nightmare so long as regular and seasonal maintenance is done. Knowing that your pool is well maintained and that the water is fresh and clean ensures enjoyable swimming for the whole summer. |
| |
| GET READY FOR SUMMER: Checklist |
 Check the safety fences, gates and self-closing devices.
Brush & vacuum the pool.
Check & clean skimmer boxes, lint pots, filter, pump and all equipment/accessories and ensure that they are all operating properly and safely.
If there is no visible presence of algae, and the pool is sanitized by:
|
Chlorine
- "superchlorinate" the pool to bring it up to a
concentration of free chlorine of about 10mg/L.
Salt Water Chlorinator - "superchlorinate"
with sodium hypochlorite solution or potassium monpersulphate,
or check the salt level and operate the chlorinator and filter
for at least 24hr.
If algae is visible in the pool, "shock dose" the
pool to ensure a concentration of free chlorine of
about 10 to 15 mg/L, and then, for 2 or 3 days later add a
chorine-compatible algaecide.
Continue to brush, vacuum and adjust and monitor over 3 or
4 days, so that the water is chemically
balanced, and returns to a "free chlorine" level
of 1.5 - 2 mg/L
Check that the following are within the recommended operational
range:
|
| Total Alkalinity 60 - 200 ppm pH 7.2 - 7.6, and Calcium hardness 0 - 500 ppm. |
