Collection: Pool Maintenance

Often pool owners (especially new owners) can feel overwhelmed by the idea of maintaining a swimming pool. But in reality, once you learn the know-how and long as you’ve got the right pool cleaning supplies in hand; pool maintenance is really a breeze. In-season maintenance is one of the most important things you can do for your pool, and it’s often the most overlooked part of pool maintenance.

Pool maintenance can be broken up into daily, weekly, and monthly tasks.

Daily pool maintenance tasks include monitoring for problems and basic upkeep, including removing leaves and debris and inspecting the skimmer and pump baskets. This is where you’ll need your basic swimming pool cleaning supplies like poles and baskets, leaf nets, brushes, and vacuums. Telescoping poles with leaf rakes and nets will take care of floating debris in your pool. We carry dozens of brushes, leaf nets & baskets, poles, rakes, and vacuum options for you to choose from.

Atleast once a week, it is recommended that you brush and clean your pool, check your pool equipment for leaks and clogs and test the water chemistry. We carry plenty of brushes, manual & automatic pool cleaners plus watery chemistry test kits to make your weekly maintenance simple, as well as provide a helpful guide to proper water chemistry.

You’ll also want to check water levels for signs of excess evaporation, heavy rainfall accumulation, and excessive algae growth. Saltwater pool owners should check that all readouts are normal and that chlorine production is steady throughout.
