Now that you are a pool owner, it is a good idea to make a regular maintenance program.
Weekly
- Test pH and chlorine levels to ensure water is safe to swim in.
- Clean your skimmer basket and pump basket if necessary.
- If the “o” ring is dry use a silicone based lubricant. Give the pool surface a brush.
- Check that the water level is high enough.
- Check the filter pressure gauge and clean or backwash if necessary
Monthly
Do everything you would do on your weekly maintenance and also do the following
- Visit your pool shop and get the Total Alkalinity, Stabiliser, Calcium or Total Hardness, Salt or mineral levels checked. Adjust if necessary.
- Check that the salt cell and sensor do not require cleaning. Clean if necessary using Salt Cell Cleaner.
Annually
- Clean the filter chemically using filter cleaner and degreaser. The exception to this is a pool that is operating Viron Active glass as this will not require cleaning.
