Any type of swimming pool needs regular care in order to retain its tip top condition. Maintaining a pool may definitely be quite draining at some point as constant checkup of the pool as well as its water needs to be performed, not to mention the regular scrubbing, suctioning, and netting of dirt and debris on the pool. However, all the stress will be relieved when you see the results of your labor as your swimming pool turn into its best quality.

TDS or total dissolved solids is the basis for the total amount of material present in the pool water. It is the measurement on how much chemicals, dust, decomposed debris and human waste is available in the water which increases its level. TDS has a maximum level of 1,500 parts per million or ppm and nowhere beyond that limit will the water become safe or comfortable for bathing. Higher level of TDS is quite difficult to bring down on the safe zone which is why most pool cleaners or owners resort to totally replacing the water with fresh tap water which usually has a low TDS level. This should always be monitored to avoid problems that can affect the condition of your pool.

In order to maintain the pools’ best condition, you should watch your chemical consumption as well as the elements that consist in the water. Your pH, calcium hardness, and alkalinity level should be kept in control by balancing them in their right parameters. In doing this, you will not only save water, chemicals and effort, but you will also literally save the pool materials, facilities as well as the furniture surrounding it. Imbalanced chemicals tend to create aggressive pool water with the water turning corrosive. Maintain your regular water testing to keep track of the pool water chemistry.

Pool care also requires the owner a regular or scheduled time for brushing. This means that the pool walls, floor, stairs and the pool deck should be scrubbed constantly to avoid catching slimy formations that can cause injuries to the swimmers in case of accidents. Make sure that you leave the floor around the pool dry after the day to discourage any pests such as crickets, bugs and other insects to make it as their habitat as damp environments are suitable places for them to propagate.

Check the sanitation of your pool water and make sure that you constantly add chlorine or other products in the water to ensure it to be healthy for swimmers. Although using chemical disinfectant in the pool will keep humans safe from harmful bacteria, microorganisms and the buildups of algae and fungi in the pool water, there’s no guarantee that it will not affect the medical condition of the bather as well. Always follow the instruction for the chemical products to avoid using too much of what is required as it can be hazardous to the human health.

Maintain these pool practices from time to time and you can expect only the best results and the best pool and water quality you and your family can enjoy.
