You should clean your pool at least once a week. Skim the surface, clean the baskets, and vacuum the pool regularly to maintain cleanliness.

Essential pool chemicals include chlorine for sanitization, pH increaser/decreaser, alkalinity increaser, and shock treatment. Test your water regularly and adjust chemical levels as needed.

Clean or backwash pool filters regularly, usually every 2-4 weeks, depending on usage.

Treat green algae with an algaecide and shock the pool. Brush the pool walls and floor, and run the filtration system until the water clears. Maintain proper chemical levels to prevent future algae growth.

Use pH increaser or decreaser to adjust pH levels. The ideal pH range is between 7.4 and 7.6.

Use a stain remover for existing stains. Prevent stains by maintaining proper water chemistry, avoiding metal objects in the pool, and regularly cleaning the pool surfaces.

Shock your pool regularly, especially after heavy use, severe weather, or algae treatment.

Lower the water level, clean the pool thoroughly, balance chemicals, and use a winterizing chemical kit. Cover the pool with a winter cover to protect it during the off-season.

Professional pool cleaners are trained and experienced in pool maintenance. They have a deep understanding of water chemistry, equipment operation, and pool cleaning techniques.

Proper maintenance by professionals can extend the lifespan of your pool equipment. Regular inspections and timely repairs contribute to the longevity of pumps, filters, and other components.
