Keeping your pool in pristine condition requires regular care and attention. Following a comprehensive maintenance checklist ensures clean, safe water and extends the lifespan of your pool. Here’s everything you need to keep your pool in top shape, step by step.

Daily Pool Maintenance

• Skim the Surface: Remove leaves, insects, and debris using a skimmer net.
• Check Water Levels: Ensure the water level is halfway up the skimmer opening.
• Inspect Pool Equipment: Quickly check pumps, filters, and heaters for proper functioning.

Weekly Pool Maintenance

1. Test and Balance Water Chemistry
   • Check pH, chlorine, and alkalinity levels.
   • Adjust chemicals as needed to maintain balance.
2. Brush Pool Walls and Floor
   • Prevent algae buildup and stubborn stains by scrubbing surfaces.
3. Vacuum the Pool
   • Use a manual or automatic vacuum to clean the pool floor and hard-to-reach areas.
4. Clean the Pool Filter
   • Remove debris from cartridge, sand, or DE filters to ensure efficient operation.

Monthly Pool Maintenance

1. Inspect Pool Tiles and Grout
   • Check for cracks or loose tiles and address any issues immediately.
2. Shock the Pool
   • Add a chlorine shock treatment to eliminate bacteria and organic contaminants.
3. Lubricate O-Rings
   • Prevent wear and tear on O-rings in pumps and filters with a silicone-based lubricant.

Seasonal Pool Maintenance

1. Before Pool Season
   • Inspect all equipment, including pumps, heaters, and filters, for damage or wear.
   • Remove and clean the pool cover thoroughly.
   • Test the water and balance chemicals before the first swim.
2. After Pool Season
   • Winterize the pool by lowering the water level and adding antifreeze to plumbing.
   • Store equipment like ladders and pool toys indoors.
   • Cover the pool securely to protect it from debris and weather damage.
