Pool Maintenance Best Practices
Homeowners who are looking to avoid a pool maintenance cost and want to learn how to do it at home will be surprised to learn how complicated the process can be. The best thing you can do is count on our pool maintenance professionals. Check out these best practices our team employs:
- Adjustments to PH may be required if calcium hardness exceeds 300.
- Adjustments to alkalinity or partial pool drainage may be necessary should the stabilizer exceed 75.
- Shock treatment or super chlorination should be done as the pool requires.
- A stain and scale preventative treatment may be required weekly or bi-weekly (see instructions on the bottle — mainly for well water pools).
- When adding water to the pool, an additional dosage of stain and scale preventative treatment is required.
- It is essential to test and balance your pool's water after heavy rain or adding water. Large quantities of water can drastically change your pool's water balance. Calcium hardness is very important and should also be tested weekly.
- Do not rely totally on your pool professional; it is your responsibility to test and understand your pool's water chemistry.
- Should anyone give you different chemical requirements than the ones listed below, contact BM Wemple Pools.
- We are here to assist you should you have any questions regarding your pool or pool chemistry.
