Cleaning the pool

Regardless of the type of pool you have, you need to know how to clean it to prevent cloudiness and pollution and keep it from becoming an unworkable mess. Below, we’ll walk you through the basics of how to clean your pool and keep it looking great all year round.

To clean your pool efficiently you need to get some tools.

• A swimming pool net
• Pool Test Strips
• A pool brush
• Pool vacuums (not always essential)
• A filter cleaner

1. Clear away debris

This is a simple first step that will set you up for success in all subsequent steps. A skimmer can remove most leaves, and higher density skimmers can also pick up most debris.

2. Use a pool brush

Like your teeth, your pool also needs a good brushing to avoid expensive damage. Ideally, you should brush your pool at least once a week. If you have a large family and use the pool during the week, it is recommended to clean it twice. A high-quality brush easily removes dirt from the corners of the pool and from the stairs. You can buy the pool brush recommended by us on our website Aiper.it.

3. Pool vacuuming

Aiper has analyzed the problems that make pool owners’ lives difficult and set out to solve them, so you can say goodbye to tangled cords, serious trip hazards, and wasted energy. Over the past five years, Aiper’s cordless robotic cleaners have made inroads into a market dominated by corded cleaners.

4. Clean the filter

Maybe your cartridge doesn’t look bad. However, do you know how much dirt hides between the folds? It is recommended to do a thorough cleaning at least once a month. How do you do it?

Cleaning the filter is simple. First, rinse the filters with fresh water from a garden hose or in the sink and spread out each pleat to remove debris. Then spray the filters with filter cleaner, let them sit for 15 minutes and rinse them again with fresh water.

5. Rebalance the pool water

Pools should be tested with a testing kit once a week. If any of the pool chemicals are out of balance, the water should be tested daily until the chemicals are balanced. Before adding chemicals to the pool water, make sure the pump is turned on so the chemicals are circulating throughout the pool. Chlorine should be between 1 and 5 ppm, pH between 7.2 and 7.6, and pool stabilizer between 30 and 50 ppm.

6. Use a pool cover

A pool cover stops most dust, leaves, and pollen from building up before it becomes a problem. Simply put, a cover will eliminate most cleaning tasks before they build up, making it one of the best investments for your pool.

7. Pool Leak Detection

Pools naturally lose water through evaporation, splashing, and drainage. On the other hand, precipitation also fills the pool. But how do you know when your pool is leaking too much? My rule of thumb is that if you routinely add more than two inches of water per week to your pool, you probably have a leak that is worth a little time and possibly money to fix.

Pools are designed to be watertight, but sealants deteriorate over time as other parts of the pool shift, settle, or simply wear out. Pools can leak through fittings or fixtures, plumbing, or even the shell.

It is essential to repair leaks to save water, heat and chemicals and to prevent the structural components of the pool from deteriorating and washing away the fill that supports the walls and deck of the pool. Proper pool care ensures clean, safe water and a healthy pool. At Aiper, we hope that the above tips will help you clean and maintain your pool with ease, so that you can get back to enjoying your pool and not spending time cleaning it.
