There are five essentials to pool maintenance: circulation, filtration, cleaning, testing and proper water maintenance.

  1. Circulation – must be maintained for maximum sanitizer effectiveness. The more the water is in motion, the harder it is for bacteria and algae to take hold. Plus, more debris is captured by your filter. Run your pump during the day for 10 hours or more.
  2. Filtration – removes visible debris and most microscopic matter. Generally, a filter should be backwashed (to remove trapped material) or cleaned when the water pressure gets high (based on manufacturers’ guidelines). Backwashing or cleaning does not remove oils or deeply embedded debris, so every filter needs some form of chemical cleaning regularly. Let us help you with appropriate products.
  3. Cleaning – weekly, clean the walls and floor with a brush and vacuum to remove debris that catches is low flow areas.
  4. Testing – what you can’t see can hurt you! An ounce of prevention is the key… bring us a sample for testing. Use a clean bottle that you rinse with pool water first, then fill. Tell us about the bather load, weather and any steps you’ve taken to adjust your water. Check a sample with us every month or so to let us help you stay on course.
  5. Proper water maintenance – apply the right products at the right time! We can help advise you so you use the least amount of product and yet have the best results. No matter the type of pool – large or small, indoor or outdoor, in-ground or above-ground – or the chemical treatment -chlorinated, brominated, or biguanide – BioGuard® has a system to ensure sparkling, clear water.
