Question

How can you maintain the ideal state of cleanliness of the backyard swimming pool?

Answer 1

A good clean filter system and keep the chemistry levels within range.

Answer 2

Test your water every morning and adjust your chemical levels accordingly. Instructions come with the testing kit.

Change or clean your filters and vacuum your pool bottom every week. Skim leaves and insects off surface of water at least once a day.

If this is too complicated...hire a pool service....which you'll need to do when ever you go on vacation, etc.

Whether you use or are even there to use the pool or not...it still requires dailey care.

Think of it as having a "big blue pet" in the back yard.

Answer 3

Covers are only for advanced pool users.  Unfortunately covers conceal the water color or turbidity your first clue that something is amiss.  Next, if your cat or dog were to jump on the cover and it is not fully fastened to the pool your pet who can swim will likely be enveloped by the cover and become a fatality.  Works the same for people too.

Fully secured covers are more costly than Home Depot PVC and will prevent encapsulation.

You're welcome!!

Answer 4

Use a cover, and clean after each use, and re-cover.
