1. Regular Skimming and Cleaning

One of the simplest ways to keep your pool clean is by skimming its surface every few days. This removes leaves, debris, and bugs that can affect water quality.
2. Check and Maintain pH Levels

A balanced pH level ensures that your pool water is neither too acidic nor too basic. Aim for a pH level between 7.2 and 7.8.
3. Regularly Clean the Pool Filter

Just like your home air conditioning filter, pool filters need regular cleaning or replacement to function efficiently.
4. Shock Your Pool When Necessary

Shocking your pool means drastically raising the chlorine levels for a short period. This kills bacteria and keeps the water clear.
5. Regularly Check Water Levels

Water levels can decrease due to evaporation or splash-out. Ensure it's always at the right level for optimal skimmer operation.
