Writer's picture: Pools and MorePools and More

Having a swimming pool is a great way to cool off on a hot summer day, and have exercise during the winter time. But in order to keep your pool clean and safe, it's important to clean it regularly.


The frequency of pool cleaning will depend on a number of factors, including:

  • The size of your pool

  • How often do you use it

  • The climate you live in

  • The amount of debris that falls into your pool

However, as a general rule of thumb, you should clean your pool at least once a week. This includes:

  • Skimming the surface of the water to remove leaves, bugs, and other debris.

  • Vacuuming the pool to remove dirt and debris from the bottom and sides of the pool.

  • Brushing the walls and steps of the pool to remove algae and other growth.

  • Testing the water chemistry and adding chemicals as needed.

If you live in a hot climate or if you use your pool frequently, you may need to clean it more often. And if you have a lot of debris falling into your pool, you may need to clean it more often as well.

Here are some tips for keeping your pool clean:

  • Install a pool cover to help keep debris out of the water.

  • Rake the leaves out of your pool regularly.

  • Use a pool skimmer to remove debris from the surface of the water.

  • Vacuum your pool at least once a week.

  • Brush the walls and steps of your pool at least once a week.

  • Test the water chemistry and add chemicals as needed.

By following these tips, you can keep your pool clean and safe for swimming all summer long.


Here are some of the consequences of not cleaning your pool regularly:

  • Cloudy or murky water: This can be caused by dirt, debris, or algae.

  • Algae growth: Algae can make the water look green or blue and can also be harmful to swimmers.

  • Bacteria growth: Bacteria can cause skin rashes, eye irritation, and other health problems.

  • Scale buildup: Scale can build up on the sides of the pool and make it difficult to clean.

  • Corrosion: Chemicals used to clean the pool can corrode the pool equipment.

By cleaning your pool regularly, you can prevent these problems and keep your pool clean, safe, and enjoyable for everyone.
