Swimming Pool Care - How To Keep it Clean and Clear

So often we plan picnics for the weekend and feel aghast to see the swimming pool cloudy and murky. Probably, we can blame tough work schedules, health issues, personal problem etc for not keeping proper care of our swimming pool but the underlying truth is that we ignore Pool Maintenance. Pool Maintenance is not a specialist's job, and anyone with some basic awareness about pools can easily do it.

As a pool owner you have a responsibility to those using your pool that it is clean and safe to swim in. Pool care shouldn't be difficult or time consuming. With regular maintenance and advice from a professional, you'll have a pristine aquatic playground in no time.

Besides, one must also use water pumps to circulate sanitizers to all parts of the pool water and also to filter our debris that usually accumulates on water surfaces or at the bottom. To gain maximum benefits from sanitizers, experts recommend adding them in evenings since sunlight could vaporize chlorine and reduce its amount in water.

During seasonal changes, one must take special care of pool water. After heavy rains, we often see that pool water becomes heavier and loses its clarity as well. To purify it, experts advise to add a shock dose (3-4 times more than usual intake) of chlorine to get the water back to normal.

Pools naturally attract debris such as leaves, flowers, insects and dust as well as hair and skin. All these cause the water to cloud and encourage bacteria and algae growth. If bacteria and algae are left untreated it will multiply, your pool becoming unhealthy and unsightly. The only way we can control these elements is to sanitize and filtrate daily- especially during the warmer months.
