Do you have a pool in your home? Do you have pool maintenance problems? Does your pool smell? Does it look dirty? If your answer to any of these questions in yes, then, the following are a few things, which you can do to revive the beauty of the jewel of your home.
For pool maintenance, the first thing which needs to be kept in mind is the pH level of the water. This is a measure of the level of acidity of the water. The ideal pH level should be between 7.2 and 7.6. If it is less than that, then the water is acidic. If it is more than the range, then the water is more alkaline. If the pH level can be left constant, then the chances of algae growing in the water is reduced considerably. To bring down the alkalinity of the water, add a bit of muriatic acid or sodium bisulfate.
Another thing to be kept in mind for pool maintenance is the chlorine level of the water. Chlorine is especially useful since it helps to kill the algae and prevents further growth of the same. But care must be taken to not over use chlorine since it is very toxic. The optimum chlorine level should be between 1 to 3 parts per million of water.
Further, for pool maintenance you should clean it with algaecides regularly. This prevents the further growth of algae and helps to keep the pool clean. Potassium tetra borate is an effective algaecide for killing the algae.
Another thing, which can be done for pool maintenance, is to keep the lining of the pool clean. If you have a concrete lining then use a steel brush for the cleaning process. In case you have nylon liners, you should use a soft scrub brush which can work wonders to keep the pool clean. The dirt which comes out thus, is filtered out through the pool filter system eventually. Therefore, keep your pool clean all year long, Tropix Pools offers year long service.
