Swimming Pool Maintenance TIPS

The beauty of a Swimming pool lies in the clear water and cool blue sparkling look. Swimming pool maintenance is very important to retain the grandness of the resort or hotel. The secret behind the pristine look of any swimming pool is regular care and maintenance of the pool.

Following are the two main steps for Pool Maintenance

STEPS FOR POOL TREATMENTCarefully read and follow the manufacturer's instructions printed on the chlorine treatment package. Test the water regularly - it's a simple process to use a test kit. You want to maintain water balance by measuring:

• Free available chlorine (FAC), which should be in the range of 2 - 4 ppm, but never fall below 1.0 ppm • Total chlorine, to assure that combined available chlorine (CAC) levels are less than 0.2 ppm • The pH level to keep it between 7.2 and 7.8, indicating that the chlorine is working • Total alkalinity to make sure that pH levels stay steady • Calcium hardness to protect pool surfaces from corrosion.

How Much OF what:

The guidelines set by The Association of Pool & Spa Professionals are widely used, but to be certain, you should also check the health codes of the jurisdiction where you live. The chemicals a pool needs to maintain the required standards differ from pool to pool - and day to day. Keeping records to "get to know" a pool can help you interpret its characteristics and perform the correct task.

THE ASSOCIATION OF POOL & SPA PROFESSIONALS Suggested Chemical Standards for Swimming Pools • Free chlorine, ppm : 2.0 - 4.0 • Combined chlorine, ppm : None • pH: 7.2 - 7.8(ideal range of 7.4 - 7.6) Total alkalinity, ppm • For liquid chlorine, cal hypo, lithium hypo : 80 - 100 • For gas chlorine, dichlor, trichlor and bromine compounds : 100 - 120 •Total dissolved solids, ppm: Not to exceed 1500 greater than at pool start-up • Calcium hardness, ppm: 200 - 400 • Cyanuric acid, ppm: 30 - 50

How to Diagnose and Clear Cloudy Swimming Pool Water

1. Test the swimming pool water for Combined Chlorine, pH, Alkalinity and Calcium Hardness. The two areas that are most likely to cause cloudy pool water are the pH and the Calcium Hardness.
2. If the pool chemical levels are not within the following suggested ranges, adjust the chemicals and run the pool filter system for 12-24 hours before re-testing. Free Chlorine: 1-3 ppm, pH: 7.2 – 7.6, Alkalinity: 90 – 120 ppm and Calcium Hardness: 200 – 350 ppm.
3. If all the pool chemical levels test in range, the cloudy pool water is caused by fine debris suspended in the pool water. You should backwash or clean your pool filter following the manufacturer’s instructions, and run the pool filter system continuously for 24 to 48 hours.
4. If the water conditions have not significantly improved you should add a clarifier pool chemical to the pool water to help your pool filter remove the fine debris from the water. Continue filtering for 12 to 24 hours.

5. If the water conditions have not significantly improved you should add a second dose of clarifier, or a stronger clarifier chemical and continue to run your filtration system. 6. Sometimes a pool can be too cloudy for a clarifier. If this is the case you will have to move up to a flocculent. This will drop any suspended particles to the floor so you can vacuum it to waste.
