If you have a built-in pool at home, following a professional maintenance plan will prevent issues like green water, malfunctioning equipment, or last-minute costly treatments. At Piscines Ramser, pool specialists, we&#8217;ll explain the 6 essential steps to prepare your pool, whether you have a chlorine pool or a saltwater pool.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>1- Bottom Cleaning and Structural Review<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Thoroughly clean the pool basin to remove any dirt. If the coating is tile, check that there are no detachments or damages.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>2- Skimmer Cleaning<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The water level must reach halfway up the skimmers to function correctly. For pools with an overflow system, we&#8217;ll review the compensating tank.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>3- Filtration System Review<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For chlorine pools, we&#8217;ll check the pump and filter (sand, glass, or cartridge). For saltwater pools (saline chlorination), we&#8217;ll review and clean the electrolytic cell with specific descaling products.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>4- Water Values<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The pH should ideally be between 7.2 and 7.6, while alkalinity should be in the range of 80 to 120 ppm. If the pool is located in areas with harder water, pH levels will need to be adjusted more frequently.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>5- Shock Treatment for Microorganisms<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Before starting the summer season, perform an active oxygen or quick chlorine treatment to eliminate microorganisms. It&#8217;s important to remember that if we do this treatment, the filtration must run 24 hours, and we cannot swim until the values return to safe parameters.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>6- Regular Maintenance<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once we are enjoying the pool during the summer season, we must follow regular maintenance that includes bottom cleaning, pH and chlorine control, flotation line in the case of saltwater pools, among other things.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Piscines Ramser, by Your Side<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Pool maintenance is a fundamental aspect both to guarantee the pool&#8217;s life and to prepare it for a new season of heat, sun, and swimming.
