Although maintaining a spotless pool requires an investment of time, the payoff is well worth it. Swimming pools are always most inviting when they’re clear and pristine. If you’re seeking the best ways to keep algae, leaves, and other debris out of your water, Kihei, HI-based pool contractor Pool Pro is here to help. Follow their tips below.

3 Ways to Avoid Debris & Keep Swimming Pools Clean

1. Skim Regularly

The first step in keeping debris out of your pool is following a regular skimming routine. Most particles will float at the top of your water, making it easy to scoop them out with your net. For the best results, skimming should be done daily to keep up with debris as it falls. At the very least, be sure to remove debris once per week.

2. Remove Sunken Debris

As objects like leaves and twigs become waterlogged, they may sink to the bottom of your swimming pool. Sand, dirt, and small stones may also sink down. These can accumulate at the bottom edges of your pool, giving it a grimy appearance. Make sure your automatic pool vacuum is set up to run at least several times per week to remove buildup and debris.

3. Clean the Sides

Algae can build up along the sides of your pool, giving your tiles an unattractive greenish hue. To keep the surface shiny, clean the sides using a scrub brush and a pool-safe cleaner. A handheld brush will work for quick touch-ups, but one with a telescoping pole boasts added convenience for thorough scrubbing. Perform a deep clean of the sides once every other week.
