HOW OFTEN SHOULD YOU CLEAN YOUR POOL?
It is the responsibility of the pool owner to ensure that it is always clean. Having said that, always strive to take care of issues as they arise or as you notice them, which includes repairing anything that’s malfunctioning or cleaning anything that looks dirty. Also, remember to clean the skimmers, tiles, and pumps and to vacuum the pool.
If it’s possible, you should clean the skimmers every day. And if there are no trees, or just a few trees, near your pool, then you can just use the skimmers to clean the pool only a few times a week, failure to which you will begin to notice frequent backwash in your pool. In addition, the skimmers, as well as the pipes leading to the pool’s pump, can easily be clogged with hair, leaves and other substances, which stops your filtration system from working properly.
Consider vacuuming your pool on a weekly basis. And while there are those who recommend cleaning twice a week, you cannot forget the fact that it could lead to a lot of work, especially if the pool is located near lakes or under tree shades. In this case, the pool will need to be cleaned regularly. By vacuuming, you get rid of any foliage or debris that compromises the pH balance in your pool.
If you have tiles in your pool, a weekly cleaning regimen is exactly what your pool needs. But the truth is, this is not an easy job, which is why no one would blame you if you chose to clean them every few weeks.

Also, you should strive to clean the pumps in your pool a couple of times in the entire swimming season. This involves opening the pumps entirely when cleaning them. Backwash can be conducted based on the pressure included in the pump equipment. And when you notice the pressure has risen into the 40s, it is a clear indicator that backwash is needed as soon as possible.
Another reason why it is important to maintain your pool tidy is to prevent algae formation, ensure consistent filtration, thereby keeping your pool looking amazing. Please remember that these are just recommendations, so if you want to clean your pool more often, you can just do it. There is no harm in doing that, folks! Especially because when we are discussing anything to do with pools, there is no such thing as ‘too much’ or ‘too clean.’
Here is some good news: you shouldn’t have to spend your entire weekend cleaning your pool, especially when there are so many cleaning companies willing to do it for you. Just hire a cleaning service and then relax. Everything will be perfect.
