Cleaning of the pool and equipment

Good cleaning practices are fundamental to keeping your swimming pool in good working order. This routine maintenance helps to keep the water crystal-clear and clean and safe for swimming.

How to clean a pool?

Proper pool cleaning consists of several key stages. All are of the pool must be given careful attention:

• The pool’s surface,
• The floor and sides,
• The water line,
• The skimmers.

It is also important to keep the edges around the pool clean to prevent debris from getting into the water. A robotic pool cleaner is often all you need to give the inside of the pool a good clean. The skimmers should be emptied once or twice a week, or after a strong Mistral wind. Another important step is to empty the pump basket and rinse out the filter. The water line should be cleaned once or twice a year, depending on the type of pool finish, on the season and how often the pool is used.

In spring, for example, the accumulation of pollen often leaves yellow marks on the water line. And during periods of intensive summer use, sunscreen products can form a greasy film on the water’s surface. They can also stain the liner irreparably.
