Rule 1: Maintain your swimming pool clean 
Maintaining the pool absolutely free of leaves and other rubbish is a futile task. Of course, you might always stand with skimmer in hand waiting to jump on any insect or leaf coming from the neighboring yard, but that is impractical suggestion for all of us.

The main thing is not to let rubbish lie in the swimming pool for an extensive period of time. Work out a cleaning plan. Clean and brush your swimming pool recurrently and particularly after a rainstorm or strong wind.

Automated pool cleaners are a benefit, but bear in mind that they just help to keep the swimming pool clean and may be used for upholding cleaning.

However, they do not lighten the need for special manual vacuuming. Swimming pool covers may be of various styles and prices and help keep the rubbish to a minimum as well. The cleaner the swimming pool is, the fewer chemical agents you will need to uphold it.

Rule 2: Store the equipment clean
Regular upholding of the water pumping and filtration equipment is of tremendous importance for prevention the stagnation of pool water. Examine and clean the pool skimmer basket every week, especially on windy days. You should also regularly clean the filter components and the pump’s filter basket.

Practice will help you work out a schedule of these essential actions. Blocked filter baskets and filter components obstruct the flow of water, decreasing the system’s efficiency and perhaps spoiling the equipment.

Rule 3: Check your water recurrently
Acquire a test kit, which checks for the level of chlorine, pH and overall alkalinity. The level of chlorine in water establishes the water’s ability to get rid of bacteria.
