Pool and pool care

Circulation

Proper circulation is the foundation of clean and stable water. Below are basic rules that genuinely impact the pool's condition.

Cleaning skimmer and pump baskets

Skimmer and pump baskets must be free of debris.
Regularly check and clean them — this ensures normal water flow to the filtration system.

💡 Tip: use gloves — it's more convenient and hygienic.

Adjusting return jets

The jets should be angled slightly downwards and directed in the same direction.
This creates water circulation around the perimeter of the pool.

This angle helps to:

lift debris from the bottom to the surface
direct it to the skimmer
distribute chemicals evenly in the water

Pump and filtration operation

The operating time depends on the temperature:

In hot weather: 8–12 hours a day
In cool weather: 4–6 hours a day

💡 Important: the water should complete a full filtration cycle daily.

Monitoring filter pressure

Normal pressure is 10–20 PSI (depends on the filter type).

If the pressure increases by approximately 10 PSI, backwashing is required.

Pool Cleaning

Daily Cleaning

Daily skim the water surface with a net.

This helps to:

prevent debris from settling to the bottom
reduce the load on the vacuum cleaner
prevent stains

Move in the direction of the water flow, preferably in circular motions.

Brushing (Twice a Week)

Regularly brush: walls, corners, stairs, and "dead zones" (behind stairs, in crevices).

Walls should be brushed from top to bottom.

💡 Why this is important:if algae appears, brushing lifts it into the water—and disinfection works much more effectively.

Water Chemistry

1. Parameter Control (Once a Week)

To ensure that the water is balanced and the disinfectant level is adequate, be sure to perform a weekly test. This is the foundation of stable water.

2. pH Balance

Optimal Level:pH 7.2–7.4

Frequently Asked Questions

The pump must ensure a complete water circulation cycle daily. In hot weather, this is typically 8–12 hours per day, and in cool weather, 4–6 hours. If the water "stagnates," it almost certainly leads to algae growth and excessive chemical use.

The benchmark is the pressure in the filter. If it has risen by approximately 8–10% from the normal level, backwashing is necessary. A clogged filter does not purify water; it only creates the illusion that the system is working.

The reason is almost always not in the amount of chemicals, but in the water balance. If the pH goes outside the 7.2–7.4 range, the effectiveness of disinfection sharply drops. In such a case, more reagents can be used without achieving results — that's why regular parameter monitoring is critically important. The quality of reagents is also important.
