Water Treatment And Testing For Swimming Pools

Poolfilters.biz

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.

• 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.
