Simple Habits That Help Protect Your Pool

Regular checks can prevent many common water and equipment problems.

WATER & CIRCULATION

Keep the water near the middle of the skimmer opening, empty the skimmer and pump baskets regularly, and confirm that water is circulating through the return jets.

TEST & TREAT

Test the pool water regularly and add only what the results indicate. Always follow product instructions and never mix pool chemicals.

CLEAN & INSPECT

Remove surface debris, brush the pool and use a vacuum or robotic cleaner as needed. Watch for leaks, unusual noises or changes in water flow.

POOL CARE FAQS

COMMON POOL CARE QUESTIONS

How often should I test my pool water?Test at least weekly and more often during hot weather, after heavy rain or when the pool has had unusually heavy use.
Do I need to shock my pool every week?Not necessarily. Test the water first and follow the chemical manufacturer’s instructions. Shock may be needed after heavy use, significant rainfall, visible algae or a low sanitizer reading.
Why is my pool water green?Green water is commonly caused by algae related to low sanitizer levels, unbalanced water, poor circulation or inadequate filtration. Test the water, check circulation and treat it according to the results.
What causes cloudy pool water?Cloudiness can result from unbalanced water, fine debris, poor circulation or a filter that needs attention. Check the baskets, water flow, filter and chemistry before adding additional products.
When should I clean my cartridge filter?Check the filter-pressure gauge regularly. Cleaning is generally needed when pressure rises approximately 8–10 PSI above the clean starting pressure or when water flow noticeably decreases. Follow the instructions for your specific filter.
Why do I need to empty the skimmer and pump baskets?Full baskets restrict water flow, reduce circulation and place unnecessary strain on the pump. Check and empty them regularly, especially after storms or heavy debris.
