The end of the summer is slowly approaching, families are taking vacations left and right, and not a whole lot of their attention is focusing on the cleanliness of their pool. Taking care of your pool is the last thought on your mind when school is around the corner, finish the summer strong with a pool that is crystal clear!
Although having algae in your pool isn’t all too common, if it does appear in your pool it can be an annoyance to get rid of. Just in case these green organisms do surface in your backyard pool, here is a list of 4 keys to ensure your pool doesn’t have the problem of growing algae:
• Keep your sanitizer levels up- chlorine levels must be kept at optimal levels, all day, every day.
• Keep the water moving- algae starts when water stops; keep your filter on for the month of August.
• Use the pool- the best way to keep a pool clean is by actually using it. Swimmers mix up the water and debris, which allows the skimmer to catch more particles and ultimately filter the pool better.
• Add an algaecide weekly- best way to prevent algae from ever surfacing, keeps your summer stress free.
