Swimming Pool Care Is Easy

Pools require a lot of maintenance. Talk to anyone who owns a pool and they will tell you. You need to get a pump, a filter, check the chemicals, and so on. Many people will not get a pool for just that reason of maintenance. Don't let that stand in your way when looking to get a pool. If you do it right, it is not so daunting. Merely set up a routine that you go through for several minutes a few times a week. Below are several steps toward making taking care of a pool easy.

Next comes the sanitization of your pool. Now that your pool water has been balanced, you need to sanitize it. This is done with chlorine; you need to keep the level at roughly 1.5ppm to 3ppm to maintain a safe pool. At this level, it will kill bacteria and algae that will try to grow in the pool and will not cause harm to swimmers. The most common form of chlorine is in tablets or sticks. The best way to administer the chlorine is to put one of these into the skimmer basket or and automatic feeder. The floating feeder is not the best solution because there needs to be water flowing around the tablet to dissolve it.
