When you think Valentine’s Day, you think red roses, balloons, and a night at a romantic restaurant. And of course, your partner!
But there’s no reason not to spread the love this year! Don’t worry, the love of your life won’t feel in the slightest jealous, as the love you’re going to how is for your swimming pool, and your better half will happily join you there.
Here are a few suggestions you should try. And also, the correct way to speak the language of love in pool dialect! Here are the basics of every pool.
You have to pay your pool proper and careful attention. So here, at a
glance is the work you need to put into your pool.
Your pool needs whirlwind circulation.
Ensuring proper circulation is step number one. If the water isn’t moving, your pump isn’t pumping, and your filter isn’t filtering, so you’re going to struggle to keep algae out of the stagnant water.
• Run your pool pump between 8 and 12 hours a day.
• You’ll need to backwash or clean the filter if the pressure rises above 10-15 psi.
• Remember to clean the skimmer and pump basket.
• Keep the jets facing circular and downward.
Your pool adores being kept clean.
Who doesn’t like to look their best, and show off to the world? So, the next level requires cleaning.
• Brush your pool’s walls, steps, and low circulation spots daily.
• Skim the surface daily.
• Vacuum the walls and floor once a week or use an automatic cleaner.
Make sure your pool has the right chemistry.
Chemistry is another huge factor in keeping your pool happy. As with everything in life, balance is key. You don’t want cloudy or green water or the build-up of bacteria.
A good testing kit is an absolute must-have for pool maintenance.
• Test the water once or twice a week.
• Balance the pH and alkalinity using the right chemicals.
• Maintain the sanitizer at the right levels.
• Shock your pool twice a week.
You love it so protect it!
You buy your better half gifts on Valentine’s Day, don’t you? Why shouldn’t you do the same for your pool?
A great present you can give is a new solar cover. It’ll protect your pool, keep it clean, reduce the pool heating costs during winter, and keep the water from being coveted by the hot summer African sun!
When the pool’s all scrubbed up and clean, pay it the ultimate compliment: a long and slow swim for you and the family.
