Clean water and balanced water are two key
components of pool maintenance. The pool should
be cleaned on a weekly basis in order to maintain
the chemical balance. A shock treatment is
necessary for preventing pool problems. Test the
pH and use chlorine every week, if required.

Balance Your Pool
The pool water should be balanced in terms of pH,
total alkalinity and calcium hardness levels.
Proper balancing plays a key role preventing
corrosion and etching. This also helps in
reducing the chances of scale formation which can
have an adverse affect on pool equipment, surface
and pool water. Eye and skin irritation is also
prevented.

Chlorinate Your Pool
By chlorinating the pool water, bacteria and
algae can be removed. The desired level of
chlorine in pool water is between 1 and 4 ppm.
Chlorinating Tabs, Liquid Chlorine, Chlorinating
Granules, etc. should be used for ensuring proper
sanitation.

Shocking must be done on a weekly basis. It helps
in reducing cloudy water, chlorine odor and eye

for this purpose are basic shock products,
multifunctional shock products, etc.

Add Algaecide to Your Pool
Rain and wind bring millions of algae into the
pool water. The growth of algae leads to
obstruction in filters, less water circulation
and reduce the potency of chemicals. Algaecides
should be used to hinder the growth of algae in
the pool.
