​Tips For Keeping Your Pool And Pool Fencing In Perth Looking Great

1. Leaf litter removal: With a smaller pool, a pole skimmer is more than enough to clear your pool of fallen leaves and garden debris. Otherwise, it is a good idea to invest in automatic pool cleaning products that will skim along the bottom of the pool. 
2. Filter check: During summer when there is much heavier use of the swimming pool, your filter needs to be working at full capacity. If you have a cartridge filter, pull it out and give it a thorough hose down and don’t forget the catcher as well.
3. Backwash: If you have a larger pool, you will need to backwash the system to clean out the leaf basket and turn on the pump to clear the pipes.
4. Pool chemicals: The easiest way to balance your chemicals is to invest in an automatic system that regulates your pool’s chemistry. If you are doing this by hand however, check your water once a week during summer and top up with the right chemicals as needed. The heavier the use, the more your water will be out of balance.
5. Shocking your pool: Not everyone needs to do this, but if your water is really cloudy because of heavy usage, you might need to shock it with chlorine products to bring it back up to manageable levels. The best way to approach this is to contact your local pool shop. Take a sample of your pool water to them and ask their opinion.
6. Pool top up: With extra activity during the summer, be aware of the water level in your pool. You might need to top it up regularly to keep the water above the level of the skimmers so the system works properly.
