Let us have a look at some simple water treatment
and testing steps that can help you in keeping
your pool clean

• Make sure that you clean the pump and the skimmer
  baskets from time to time.
• The level of water must reach at least halfway on
  the skimmer box. If the water level is more than
  half, skimming will not be effective.
• The swimming pool cartridges must be back-washed,
  and when required, must be deep cleaned.
• The water of the pool must turnover completely
  once in a day. If required, increase the time of
  filtration.
• Next, it is important to check the salt
  chlorinator for deposits of calcium.
• Once you run the filter for about 10 minutes,
  take the water sample below the waterline and
  test the same using a testing kit, or by taking
  it to a pool professional.
• Take a deep look at the pool water and ensure
  that it is looking crystal clear. Also, the water
  of the pool should not be having an unpleasant
  taste or smell.

Weekly Tasks

• The filter cartridges must be removed and
  cleaned. Use a garden hose to rinse off the dirt
  from the cartridges. Make sure you do not use too
  much pressure while cleaning the cartridges else
  the dirt will get embedded further into them.

  ensure that he/she checks the alkalinity level
  and the pH of the swimming pool water. If
  required, they must be adjusted.
