#VALUE!

If you have a swimming pool yourself, you also know that you have to maintain a swimming pool. Otherwise you run the risk of micro-organisms such as algae, bacteria and fungi entering and growing in the pool water. For the best swimming experience, it is important to maintain the swimming pool.

To get and keep the bath clean, there are several things you need to take into account in addition to the chlorine content, chemicals, a filter pump and the smallest dirt particles. We are happy to help you maintain your own swimming pool.

Maintaining the pH value

Having the correct pH value in the swimming pool water is very important. To ensure the correct pH you can add pH minus or pH plus. If you have too low a pH value in the swimming poolwater, this will lead to corrosion of metal parts. this will lead to irritated skin.

You can easily avoid this to ensure the correct pH value. If the pH value of the swimming water is too high, bacteria can develop better because the chlorine is less active, you don't want that. This will ensure that algae multiply faster and the water becomes green.

To ensure clean water, it is important that you have the correct acidity, so you must measure this regularly. A good pH value between 7.0 and 7.4.

Check the pool's chlorine level

The question; how should I maintain my swimming pool? It's a common question. Checking the chlorine level is important. If you want to keep your swimming pool water clean, healthy and clear, the use of chlorine is necessary. This way you keep the water clean and free of bacteria and fungi.

For an outdoor swimming pool it is important that you have between 1.0 and 2.5 mg/l chlorine in the water. You can add this by using chlorine tablets. The chlorine content is important for swimming pool maintenance.

Which water do you actually use for the swimming pool?

To fill a swimming pool it is important that not groundwater is used but tap water, this has to do with lime. It is important to take the hardness of the water into account. You can only use inorganic chlorine with soft water. With hard water it is better to use organic chlorine.

Make sure the water is properly filtered

When cleaning and maintaining the swimming pool, it is important that you use the right products. One of these is a product that ensures the circulation of the water, by doing this the dirt can be properly filtered. You need a swimming pool pump that can clean the entire swimming pool by filtering.

If you only have standing water, this is a place where algae and other bacteria develop more quickly, especially on a hot summer day.

Pool filtration is very important for clean and clear swimming water. By purchasing a good filter pump, the water will be effectively cleaned of sand, algae, bacteria and other dirt.

Maintain your swimming pool with flocculant

If the pH value and chlorine content are correct, you may still experience cloudy swimming water. This could be caused by rainwater, water from the garden hose that is connected to groundwater, but also by tiny particles such as sunscreen. These are too small for the filters. When you use a flocculant, these particles bind together and are large enough to remain in the filter. This ensures that the swimming water becomes clear.

Clean your pool with a skimmer

Maintaining a swimming pool also includes removing larger pieces of dirt, also known as coarse dirt. You obviously don't want to swim among the leaves, twigs and grass that came from your feet or blew into the pool. To remove this from the swimming pools you can simply use a landing net. This makes it easy to keep the pool clean.

You can also remove this type of dirt on the water surface from the water using a skimmer. This is connected to the pump and sucks twigs, leaves, insects and other dirt from the pool, so you can enjoy clean water.

But anyway... A skimmer connected to the swimming pool pump does not clean the walls of a swimming pool, and certainly not the bottom. If you have a new swimming pool, you naturally want it to continue to look that way. That is why it is important to clean this too. This can be done by using a pool vacuum cleaner, also a pool robot. This can clean the walls of the pool but also ensures a clean bottom.

How should you maintain your swimming pool for the winter?

For swimming pools it is also important that after they have been enjoyed all summer, they are prepared for the winter. You must first wait until the bathing water has dropped below 15 degrees Celsius. You can then lower the swimming water below the skimmer and seal the inlet pipe.

You can then add anti-algae to the swimming water to combat algae. It is important to put a cover over the swimming pool, a drain for winter covers or let the cover run diagonally for rain water. It is then important that you disconnect and store the other products from the pool, such as the hoses from the filter. This way your swimming pool is ready for the winter and you can prepare the swimming pool again in the spring for a new swimming season!
