Skim the Pool and Empty Baskets 

Skimming the surface of your pool and cleaning the skimmer and pump basket.  

Brush the Pool 

Using a pool brush, brush the sides and bottom of the pool. Brush towards the main drain so that the sediment can be easily vacuumed.

Vacuum

Vacuum your facility’s pool to remove debris that sunk to the floor of the pool.  

Check the Water Level

Pool water evaporates in the heat and accumulates when it rains. You should do a weekly check making sure your facility’s pool remains at the proper water level. The water level should remain at approximately the midpoint of the skimmer to ensure that it functions properly.  

Check the Filter 

Filters help keep your pool water clean by trapping small particles and debris. There are three main types of pool filters: sand, DE, and cartridge. They should be maintained weekly. We check the pressure and cleanliness of your filter. The type of pool filter determines how it should be cleaned and maintained.   

Shock 

A shock treatment restores clarity to pool water. It cleanses the pool of germs, bacteria, algae, and other organic matter that may have accumulated throughout the week.  

Test and Adjust 

pH Levels: The pH refers to the level of acid and base in the pool. A pH that is too high will affect the chlorine, making the water cloudy and possibly causing skin irritation. On the other hand, a pH level that is too low will rapidly dissipate chlorine, causing eye irritation and corrosive water. Corrosive water can damage the basin and equipment. The optimal pH level is 7.4.  

Sanitizer Levels: Free Chlorine levels should be between 1-3 parts per million (ppm). Free Bromine levels should be between 3-5 ppm.  

Alkalinity Levels: Total Alkalinity (TA) keeps pH levels stable. TA levels should remain between 80-120ppm.  

Salt Levels (for saltwater pools): Salt levels should remain between 2700-3400ppm. The optimal salinity level for pools is 3200ppm.  

Cyanuric Acid (CYA): is a pool balancing product used to help chlorine last longer. Chlorine, in its natural form, is unstabilized—which means it degrades when exposed to sunlight. Adding Cyanuric Acid reduces the sun’s impact on chlorine loss. The longer chlorine is present in pool water, the longer it’s available to kill bacteria and sanitize the water. The optimal range is 30 to 50 ppm.
