CLEANING

Pool Tips

Debris

  • When preparing to open your pool for the season, clean all leaves and other debris off the cover before removing it.
  • Empty your skimmer baskets frequently. You'll help minimize the amount of leaves that end up on the bottom of your pool.
  • When cleaning the surface of your pool with a leaf net, work your way around the sides first, then clean from the middle of the pool to the sides.
  • Empty your leaf net occasionally when cleaning your pool's surface. Otherwise, the net's contents may accidentally end up back in the pool.
  • Keep the trees and shrubs around your pool trimmed back to minimize the amount of leaves and debris that end up in the pool.

Water Clarity

  • When opening your pool at the beginning of the season, run your filter around the clock until the water is completely clear.
  • If your pool water appears green or has an unpleasant odor, the problem is probably caused by algae. Test for proper chlorine level, and consult a pool professional if the problem persists.
  • Keep your filter, pump, lint trap and skimmer baskets clean and in proper working condition to help ensure that your pool water stays sparkling clear.
  • Pool inlets should be adjusted so the surface water is moving in a circular direction.
  • Make a habit of checking and emptying skimmer and pump baskets regularly.
