Regular Pool Care

To get the most out of your pool and enjoy clear, beautiful, healthy water all year round, you need to maintain it regularly and follow a few simple rules when treating your pool physically (thorough cleaning of the pool, water line, filter and filtration system) and chemically (using treatment products), even in winter.

This is because your pool water is alive and subject to various factors, such as weather conditions, the number of swimmers and poor maintenance. The more regular and frequent the maintenance of a pool, the less time it takes.

During the swimming season, weekly treatment is necessary, taking care to follow the 4 treatment steps. In addition, during the high season, you should clean your pool every day with a skimmer to remove plant debris from the surface of the water. And during heat waves, you should test your water daily to maintain its parameters and prevent it from turning cloudy.

To keep your water crystal clear and in good condition, you must first physically clean your pool, then test your water using test strips, a test kit or an electronic tester, and follow the four steps for treating pool water in the correct order:

1. Balance the water with a pH increaser or reducer and a pH regulator that increases the alkalinity of the water.
2. Disinfect the water with a chlorine, bromine or active oxygen disinfectant, depending on the method chosen.
3. Prevent algae with an anti-algae treatment.
    
4. Flocculation/clarification to help the filter remove suspended particles and prevent water turbidity.

Remember that filtration accounts for 80% of water treatment!

It is necessary to maintain your filter (sand filter, cartridge filter or diatom filter) properly for optimal operation of the pump and filtration system.

Take care of your pool all year round, even in winter!

The secret to effective pool maintenance goes beyond water treatment. Thorough cleaning will help preserve your equipment and extend its life. It is necessary to clean your pool regularly, at least once a week, or even every day during the high season.

A skimmer, brush, vacuum cleaner, water line brush and pool robot are essential summer items for cleaning the bottom and sides of your pool to remove leaves, insects and other debris brought in by the wind.

Similarly, filtration accounts for 80% of water treatment, so don't forget to clean your filter! The filtration system is what allows the water to regenerate: the pump draws in the water and sends it to the filter to remove impurities.

At the start of the season, if you have a sand filter, backwash the filter. Disinfect the filter with Filterclean Tab. And if you live in an area with hard water, descale your filter with Decalcit Filtre.

Disinfection is a fundamental step in treating swimming pool water to eliminate microbes and impurities present in the water. After balancing the water, it is the second step in water treatment.

Without the addition of a disinfectant, the water becomes cloudy and its hygiene level drops, making swimming inadvisable or even harmful to the health of bathers. Depending on the treatment method chosen, use a chlorine, bromine or active oxygen disinfectant. The generally recommended frequency is every 7 to 10 days. The amount of product to use depends on the volume of your pool.

The aim of shock chlorination is to eradicate microorganisms present in the water through an intensive and rapid addition of active chlorine. Shock treatment can be carried out when filling or opening the pool, as a preventive measure every 3 weeks, in case of high temperatures or heavy use of the pool, in case of problems (cloudy water, algae, low disinfectant levels), bad weather, or when closing the pool for winter storage.
