Warmer weather, summer breaks, and plenty of rest and relaxation are almost here. All three of those things go perfectly with sitting by a pool and taking a dip on a hot day. From clearing out debris to balancing chemicals just right, keeping your pool sparkling and ready for swimmers can be exhausting.
Remove Debris
Especially in Oklahoma, debris is a huge issue in the pool. Not only does it make your pool look less appealing, but debris can also throw off your chemicals and even clog your drains and filters.
Pool Filter
Every pool is different — from vinyl to concrete, chlorine to bromine, as well as the various types of filters. Knowing your filter is important if you’re trying to keep your pool functional and well maintained all summer long.
Pool Water Balance
A variety of key factors keep your pool water safe and balanced all year long. One of the most important of these is chlorine. You should learn to keep your chlorine balanced. To make sure of this, you can buy test strips that will instantly tell you the pH levels.
Pool Vacuuming
Just like your house needs a vacuum to keep the floors clean and get rid of bacteria and allergens, your swimming pool vacuum is an essential part of your summer pool maintenance toolkit! A pool vacuum is an excellent way to keep your pool clean.
Dealing with Leaks
Before summer starts, you should definitely make sure and check for pool leaks and any other problems that could hinder your swimming experience so you can get them fixed. However, it can be hard to find leaks. You may find leaks in your liner, along cracked pool jets or filters and where you have steps installed, among other places.
