Top 10 Things Every Pool Owner Should Know About Pool Care

1. Set a Proper Pump Schedule: Effective circulation is crucial for a clear pool. Set your pump timer to run 12-18 hours during the day in spring and summer, and 5-6 hours at night during winter and early spring.
2. Skim and Brush Regularly: Make it a daily habit to skim leaves and debris from your pool. Consider using a robotic vacuum to clean the pool bottom. Regularly brush the sides, steps, and shallow areas to prevent algae and dirt buildup.
3. Clean the Baskets: Clean your pump basket and skimmer baskets at least once a week to remove debris and toys. This ensures effective filtration and keeps your pool clean.
4. Maintain Chemical Levels: Test your pool water weekly to ensure proper chemical levels. SOuthern Comfort will come out at no cost to test your water. Key levels to monitor:
   1. pH: 7.4–7.8
   2. Chlorine: 2–5 ppm
   3. Alkalinity: 80-120 ppm
   4. Cyanuric Acid (Stabilizer): 30-50 ppm
   5. Calcium Hardness: 250-350 ppm
5. Shock Your Pool: If your pool becomes cloudy, use a shock treatment to control bacteria levels. Shock your pool at least once a week during the summer season, after heavy rain, or high bather load.
6. Monitor Water Levels: Evaporation can lower your water levels. Add water as needed, keeping the level about halfway up the skimmer but below the overflow.
7. Remove Oils: Swimmers leave oils from skin, lotions, and sunscreen in the pool. Toss a tennis ball into the water to help absorb these oils.
8. Clean the Pool Deck: A clean pool deck and yard prevents extra dirt and leaves from entering the pool. Regularly power wash your deck to remove dirt, rust, or stains.
9. Schedule Filter Service: Professional maintenance is essential. Schedule a Cartridge filter service every 6 months or when filter pressure rises. This service includes checking all equipment to ensure proper functioning.
10. Hire a Pool Service: For hassle-free maintenance, consider hiring a professional cleaning service. Southern Comfort Pools offers weekly pool cleaning to keep your pool in top condition starting at 280.00 per month (this includes chemicals)
