Pool Maintenance
🌞 Daily Routine
✅ Run the Pool Pump
Turn it on for 5–8 hours a day (ideally during the hottest hours).
These are usually automatically set in the timer (put the switch to auto)
✅ Check Water Level
Water should reach the bottom edge of the top step of the ladder.
Refill if it’s lower.
🧽 Weekly Routine (Once a Week)
✅ Chlorine
Place 1 chlorine tablet per skimmer basket every 7 days.
If water turns murky, temporarily increase dosage with 1 extra spoon of granules per skimmer.
✅ Cleaning Robot
Activate the robot once a week.
Clean out its internal filter afterward.
✅ Skimmer Baskets
Open each skimmer and remove leaves, insects, and debris.
✅ Surface & Grout Corners
Wipe grouts and edges with your feet and a cloth while swimming.
Use the telescopic skimmer pole for deeper areas near the garden wall.
⏳ Biweekly Routine (Every 2 Weeks)
✅ Clean the Sand Filter (Backwash Cycle)
Turn off the pump.
Turn valve to BACKWASH.
Turn pump ON for ~1 minute — until dirty water stops.
Turn pump OFF.
Set valve to RINSE.
Turn pump ON again for ~1 minute — until water runs clear.
Turn off pump and return valve to FILTER position.
Turn the pump to "auto" resume normal operation.
🔁 Repeat backwash + rinse once more if water is still dirty.
📌 Tips & Reminders
⏱️ Set a timer for pump operation and backwash.
💧 Avoid over-backwashing to save water.
🧴 Keep extra chlorine tablets and testing strips stocked.
🔍 Check water clarity after rain, parties, or heavy use — adjust routine if needed.
