Ahh, owning a pool means endless summer swims, tiki cocktails, children who are consistently entertained...and work. Lots and lots of work. As any pool owner will tell you, those glorious turquoise swimming holes come with a ton of responsibility. The truth is, pools require regular upkeep and maintenance, like weekly vacuuming, pH testing, and filter inspections. But once you understand the cost of owning the pool, and how to care for it, you’ll avoid the common mistakes that make pool ownership a drag. So keep up the fun in the sun this summer with these tips:

KNOW YOUR CHEMICALS.

Under-maintained pools aren’t only gross to look at, they can also contain dangerous bacteria. The flip side, however, of over chlorinating can cause swimming pool rash and eye irritation. You don’t have to be a chemistry major to figure it out though. Just use chlorine and pH testing strips to check pool chemical levels at least once a week.

LEARN TO USE YOUR POOL VACUUM.

How often you need to vacuum depends on how often you skim the pool. Leaves and junk on the surface will eventually sink to the bottom. That’s where vacuums come in. From automated robotic cleaners to handheld systems, a vacuum is a key ingredient to a healthy pool.

CHECK YOUR WATER LEVEL.

Everyday play can cause major fluctuations in your pool water levels. The proper water level is halfway up the skimmer line. If your water levels get too low it can ruin your pool’s pump. All you have to do is grab a hose, fill it up, and check the chemical level.

PRACTICE QUICK POOL CLEANING.

Pool cleaning is just like house cleaning – doing a few chores every day can prevent a major mess at the end of the week. One of the easiest and most important maintenance chores is skimming the top of the pool every day for leaves, sticks, dead bugs and other debris. It also helps circulate the water, and keeps you from having to add chlorine too often. Make sure to clean out the strainer basket and scrub the side of the pool with a brush or pumice stone about once a week to prevent algae buildup.

It’s pretty easy to maintain a pool properly, but if you don’t have the time, call in the pros. A pool involves a lot of tedious upkeep, but by doing a little work on your pool every day can make pool ownership easier for you and will keep your pool in better shape for longer. And consistent pool maintenance will allow you to have some fun in the sun, no maintenance
