If you’re new to caring for a pool, having the right tools and products is essential.
- Use a test kit or test strips to check your pool’s pH, chlorine, and alkalinity levels weekly, then adjust the chemicals as necessary.
- Use a leaf scoop or rake to clean leaves and debris out of your pool daily.
- Use a pool broom or brush and a vacuum or automatic pool cleaner to clean dirt from your pool’s walls and floor weekly.
- Backwash your sand filter or clean the cartridge in your cartridge filter every four to six weeks.
