Continuously monitor the condition of your pool and apply chlorine shock therapy if necessary.
Maintaining a clear and pristine pool requires close attention to water quality. Regularly monitor pH levels as they can fluctuate due to factors like evaporation, sunlight, and pool usage. Once pH is balanced, follow the manufacturer’s instructions for adding necessary sanitizers, pH balancers, or alkalinity boosters. Periodically, perform super-chlorination if the water shows signs of cloudiness, greenish tint, strong chlorine smell, or slippery surfaces. This chlorine shock treatment helps eliminate contaminants and restores water clarity. Regular testing and observation will guide you on when to administer chlorine therapy.
Maintaining a pool is no small task, and costly mistakes can be made during the process until we finally become experts in taking care of our pool. Therefore, studying and following the instructions precisely, as well as consulting with experts, are crucial.
