The two most important areas to monitor and control in your pool are filtration and proper water balance. Knowing what works is important, and can save you a ton of grief down the road. Let's begin with filtration. There are three basic types of filtration systems. They are the sand filter, the cartridge filter, the diatomaceous earth or DE filter

Each of these filters does the same thing - they filter the water of your pool. It is the varying degrees of effectiveness that each type offers that is critical.

Pool Maintenance Mistakes

Swimming pool maintenance doesn't have to be difficult, but knowing how to properly maintain your pool will make it last longer and be a safer place for family fun. Here are some of the 12 common swimming pool maintenance mistakes.

 

Cleaning The Swimming Pool Water

Pollution in pool water comes either from the environment or is carried into the water by the swimmers. Environmental pollution includes dust, leaves, chemical wastes, pollen, spores, and bacteria and so on, which are blown into the water by the wind. Swimmers carry other pollutants into the water: sweat, suntan oils, urine, bacteria, viruses, etc.

 

Automatic Pool Cleaners

Automatic pool cleaners’ types are described below and are broken into three categories; suction side cleaners, pressure side cleaners and robots. Suction cleaners attach to the suction side of your plumbing. The suction side refers to the pipes and fittings that bring water out of the pool to be filtered; that water which is being "sucked" out of the pool by the filter pump. Pressure cleaners are those that attach to the pressure side (return) of your circulation system.

How To Open Your Swimming Pool For The Summer

A pool properly maintained during the winter months can be prepared for a new season of swimming with a minimum of effort. Reopening the pool entails reversing the instructions for closing it. Sometimes things don't go so smoothly after you open your pool, listed here are some of the common problems and the actions you could take while opening the pool.

 

Closing Your Pool For the Winter

Covering the pool is an economical and easy way to care for the pool in the off-season. The pool cover keeps debris and leaves out of the pool, reduces chemical and electrical expenses by at least half, and eliminates much of the normal maintenance procedure. It is however, important that minimal maintenance be performed. Failure to winterize the pool properly and to keep the chemicals in balance can result in staining, scaling, and equipment damage; conditions that can be expensive to correct.
