Pool Filters Are Just One Piece of Proper Pool Maintenance

With warmer temperatures right around the corner, you may be itching to start going swimming again in your own swimming pool, but the condition of the water in it may worry you. If you have not serviced your pool all winter or kept it covered, you need to consider what needs to be done next.

With the change of the pool filters, cleaning of the water, and some of the following steps, you can make sure that the pool is ready to use anytime in the future.

Skimming Out Any Debris

Bugs, leaves, and other debris may have found themselves in your pool water, making it important that everything is skimmed out before jumping in. A standard pool net can help remove the debris, but a pool vacuum is the best option since it can easily reach debris at the bottom of the pool as well.

Changing the Filter Before Swimming

One of the essential steps involved in taking care of your pool before going swimming is changing the filter. Even if the pool was unused for months, the filter will likely need to be replaced since it was responsible for trapping debris during the off-season.

Refill to the Appropriate Water Level

If you drained some of the water or it has simply evaporated over time, you should make sure that the water level is at the right height. Refilling the water will ensure that it is safe to swim in and that all the pool parts will work properly.
