How to Keep Your Swimming Pool Crystal Clear


One of the most crucial responsibilities of having a pool at home is cleaning it. You need to maintain its serenity to make it inviting for you and the people who will swim in it. So the most popular question of newbie pool owners is, “How to keep your swimming pool crystal clear?”

Balance the pH level of the Water

You need to know the current level of the pool water and if it leans onto the acidic side of the meter, use chemicals to balance the same. There are products you can buy online or in stores that you can use in your swimming pool.

Skim the Floating Debris

Aside from cleaning the water itself, you need to remove the floating debris to ensure that the pool is crystal clear. You don’t want any foreign objects in your lovely pool at home, right? There are skimming tools you can buy to remove the debris easily.

Vacuum the Pool Floor

The pool floor is very important to make the overall appearance clean and tidy. This is because what you see from afar is not the water itself but the floor and walls of the pool. You can use a swimming pool cleaner (manual or robotic/automatic) to ease the burden of vacuuming the floor.

Pump and Filter Water

You also need to pump the pool water to circulate the same. You need to do this at least twice a week to ensure that the pool is ready anytime for a pool party or a barbeque party. You don’t want your pool to be stagnant so pumping the water will help the pool to be clean.

Backwash the Pool Filter

The pool filters act as the cleaning stage when pumping or circulating water. Backwashing them is very crucial in keeping your swimming pool crystal clear. It is very easy to do this because you can even use the pool water to remove the fine dust in the filter.

Shock the Pool

By shocking the pool properly, you will be able to activate the chemicals and cleaning tablets you threw in the water. However, always remember to do this only once a week to not lock the chlorine and make the water not swimmable. The best time to shock your swimming pool at home is after a wild weekend pool party with your friends and family.

Make Use of Algaecide

Lastly, to keep your swimming pool crystal clear, you need to prevent the same from accumulating algae or the green slimy objects. Make sure to use this chemical regularly to ensure the cleanliness and serenity of your pool. The best time to use algaecide is only twice a month so remember to not overdo it.
