    Pool maintenance tips you need to try

    By Bailey N. | Beverly Hills lifestyle | 0 comment | 11 June, 2020 | 0

    Who doesn’t want to have a pool in their backyard when it looks so glamorous? And while LA has many attractions, one of them is that a lot of houses have pools in the backyard. Just imagine throwing a weekend party there, or simply swimming a couple of laps after work. Or imagine sunbathing, and jumping in the pol to cool off. However, there’s the other side of it and that’s that you have to keep the pool clean. And here are some of the pool maintenance tips you’ll want to try in order to have a pristine pool.

    Pool maintenance tips you need to try

    No one enjoys cleaning the pool. But, if you don’t do that, your water is going to be full of leaves and built-up algae. And who would want to lay by a pool that looks dirty? Hopefully, these tips for maintaining your pool will make the whole process much easier.

    Now, that looks clean!

    Make a pool maintenance a part of your routine

    More often than you’d think, you’ll be able to find debris or leaves on the surface of the water. So, unfortunately, skimming is one of the things that will have to become part of your routine, as you’ll have to do it daily. As that’s how it is, accept it as something you’ll do often, so at least try not to dread it. Besides skimming, you’ll have to scrub the sides of the pool, or otherwise, algae might build up. Luckily, you don’t need to do it that often, once every couple of weeks is enough. If you have stubborn spots, you can use a sock and fill it with chlorine. Leave it a for a couple of hours and then start scrubbing again.

    You won’t believe how often you’ll be able to find leaves floating on the surface of your pool

    Don’t forget to clean the filters

    It’s very important to clean the filter at least once a week. They are responsible for removing the impurities from the pool. So, to do this, remove the cap and remove any debris from the filter basket. Also, once every month, you need to clean out the pipes that your filter system uses. You just need to set your filter to backwash and then turn on the pump and allow it to run until you see cleat water coming out of the waste pipe.

    Keep the chemical levels consistent

    Probably the most important thing that pool maintenance involves is keeping the chemical levels in balance. If you don’t do this, you might have to deal with bacteria, irritated eyes, and skin, or at the very least, the murky water. These are the levels you’ll need to keep in check:

    • PH levels – keeping the balance between acidity and alkalinity at check is one of the most important things when speaking about pool maintenance, ao know that acidity should be from 7.5 to 7.8
    • total alkalinity should be between 60 and 120
    • cyanuric acid should be somewhere between 30 and 50
    • free chlorine – keeps the water free of germs, but it can be partially replaced with UV purifier
    • calcium hardness -keeping it in balance will help prevent any plaster damage and should be kept between 220 and 250 or even lower

    Who says that pool maintenance has to be boring?

    So you’ve moved to Beverly Hills only to worry about cleaning your pool. Unless you hire someone to do it, yes, you’ll have to do it yourself. But, you can explore with pool maintenance, so it doesn’t have to be boring. For example, instead of sodium bicarbonate to control the PH levels, you can use baking soda. And it’s significantly cheaper. So have fun with it and accept is as a part of your day and maintaining your pool will become easier.
