Sun, GLB, Guardex,
Leisure Time to keep your pool clean. For your convenience I've attached informational links and links to purchase some of the items mentioned (from
Swimtown, my personal favorite place to shop - great prices and they have real people that answer the phone!)
- Water Testing Always check for water balance and ph of the water. Maintain proper level. Buy brand name products like Sun, GLB, and Guradex to keep your water balanced. Shop for test strips.
- Automatic Cleaners Make sure your automatic cleaners are working and all the debris are getting removed. Check all the hose and working of skimmers. There are a lot of great pool cleaners out there from manufacturers like Polaris and Aquabot.
- Sanitizers All the sanitizing equipement should be in proper working conditions. Make sure your sanitizers are working
- Oils & Soaps When in using pool do not use soap or cleaning products like Formula 409, shampoo etc. It will be helpful if your body does not have skin lotions this can be done by having a pre-bath or cleaning your hands, legs and face before entering the pool.
- Plastic Caps Use Plastic Caps. They tend to keep hair spray and hair products from getting into the pool.
- Scumballs Scumballs are good oil removing agent. Scumball products drastically reduce the amount of oils that actually get sucked into the filter. Squeeze the Scumball after each pool uss and replace them when they start to detriorate. You can also use Enzyme based oil removers sold by Sun and GLB brand chemicals. The break down the oil into smaller particles and keep water crystal clean and fresh for long period of 2 - 3 months.
- Pool Filters Your filter (purchase here - http://www.swimtownpools.com/pool-filters-s/173.htm) should always be in proper working condition. Make sure all the inlet and outlet valves are functioning properly. Check for the Filter Pressure. Keep filter catridges, Sand or D.E. Grids handy to change them. Recommend changing the elements every 1 - 2 years or as per the use of pool.
- Bromine/ Chlorine Tablets Use Floating feeders to keep your water always in good condition by using Bromine or Chlorine Tablets. Make sure of dissolve rate and add them as needed. Shop for these here.
