Tips & Tricks: Pool Maintenance Tips for Beginners | Leslie's

Properly maintaining your pool requires a lot of effort and dedication, and may seem daunting at times. But with the right guidance and a few handy tips, you'll realize that pool maintenance is easier than you think. Just follow the three Cs of pool care, and you'll be good to go!

🌀 Circulation
Ensuring your pool water receives adequate circulation and filtration is the first step to maintaining a healthy, safe pool. The circulation system is responsible for distributing chemicals, filtering debris, and preventing algae growth. You should run your pump for at least 8–10 hours daily to ensure all the water travels through the pump and filter.

🧼 Cleaning
Automatic pool cleaners are one of the best investments you can make as a pool owner. Not only do they reduce cleaning time, they also increase water circulation and filtration. However, while automatic cleaners help reduce cleaning time, there are no substitutes for manually cleaning your pool. In addition to using an automatic cleaner, skimming, brushing, and vacuuming your pool at least once a week is crucial for maintaining a healthy pool.

🧪 Chemistry
While managing pool water chemistry might seem complicated and daunting, it's actually easier than you think! There are three pool water chemical categories: water balancers, sanitizers/shock, and specialty chemicals. Each category contains different chemicals that play important roles in maintaining your pool water balance. Testing your pool water weekly will show you exactly what chemicals your pool needs.
