Mainaining a swimming pool yourself is really very simple and helps save money.Poor maintenance can mean expensive breakages in equipment and always means you have to spend more on chemicals.

Follow instructions carefully, especially with swimming pool chemicals, this means a more economical pool but not a less safe one.

 

To preclude problems that are usually costly and difficult to repair you need good maintenance.  The high cost of professional pool cleaners can be saved with simple good pool maintenance.

Saving on Chemicals?

The chemicals for your pool are not the spot in which to save. Remember:In the long run it will cost more if your pool is unhygienic. To bring your pool back to safe levels a lot of expensive chemicals and procedures will be needed.

Safety

Be careful if you administer the pool chemicals.   They are toxic when concentrated but safe when watered down.

Do not combine swimming pool chemicals with any chemical products.   It could result in a fire or explosion.

Chlorine

Before adding it to your pool be sure to dissolve granular chlorine in water.  Also, add the chlorine to the water not the water to chlorine and maintain all these pool chemicals away from children.  To keep the proper balance and add the chlorine an automatic dispenser is less work. At all times your chlorine level should be at 1 to 3 parts per million.  You can take you pool water to a pool store and have it tested for balance of the ph and alkaline every week during the high usage times.

Save money with cleaning

The best place you can save money is in the cleaning of your pool. Regularly vacuum the sides and bottom and skim the leaves and debris on the top. Ideally, you should skim everyday. Brushes are very important for keeping tiles, cement and fixtures clean.   Even though more expensive, PVC brushes are good for cement as well as tiles and last a lot longer.

Take Lessons

Classes are available to learn how to use a pool test kit to test ph balance, amount of chlorine, bromide, acid and alkalinity if that is convenient for you, or you can go online to learn correct pool cleaning.

 

Summary

Cleaning, vacuuming and skimming, filter changing and checking the ph alkaline balance methodically are the chief things you can do to save money in the maintenance of your pool.
