Pool Cleaning Supplies

Keeping the pool clean has become an easier task these days with the availability of high-quality pool accessories. Pool-cleaning tools include pool vacuum heads, pool skimmers, and pool brushes for easier pool maintenance.

Some specialized tools include clear-view vacuums, leaf skimmers, telescoping poles, leaf rakes, wall brushes, corner brushes, stain erasers, skim tools (to skim dirt), mitts, filter savers, telepole replacement clips, aluminum pole hangers, and pole and hose hooks. Some of these are also known as pool sweeps, filter grids and cartridges, saltwater chlorinators, pool pumps and motors, pool filters, and pump/filter combinations (skid packs for above-ground pools).

The primary aspect of having a clean pool is to ensure that pool water care is up to date. Water care products such as sanitizers, balancing chemicals, algae-treatment chemicals, stain treatment/prevention products, water clarifiers, saltwater systems, and pool-testing kits. Generally, a common oxidizer/sanitizer, like chlorine, is used to burn up organic material in the water. Doing so greatly reduces the load on the filter. Maintenance of pH balance and proper total alkalinity levels are of utmost importance. Equally significant is the checking for calcium hardness and stability. A pump that is sized properly goes a long way in preventing energy waste. An automatic pool cleaner is a necessary luxury that saves time.

In order to maintain a constant chlorine feed, either hand-feeding or tablet-feeding (a floating chlorinator is an inexpensive option) can be done. Saltwater chlorine generators are an excellent and a very popular method to do this. Using a simple test kit or test strips, test the water chemistry at least once in a week and more often during times of heavier usage. Super-chlorinate the pool if the chlorine reading gets too low and if algae develops, as well as after a heavy rain.
