In this video I cover a broad range of things that I think will help you maintain your above ground pool and allow you to enjoy it rather then cursing the decision to purchase it.
Here are some things from the video and some added information.
The key is to keep the water balanced not just for enjoyment and everyday use but because when an above ground pool turns - starts to get algae it is harder to reverse it. Mainly because the equipment is undersized for the amount of water. Manufacturers can't package full size equipment for practical reasons like set-up and assembly. So you are working with equipment that is designed to keep a balanced pool blue and looking good. The equipment is not designed for a green pool clean-up. Some newer above ground pools don't have a skimmer or vacuum port so once it gets out of hand things can get frustrating.
One solution is to upgrade to better equipment but the less expensive alternative is to not let the pool turn green in the first place.
A good test kit is essential and testing the water each week or several times a week will keep the pool looking good
.
In the video I recommend the
BBB Method of pool care as it is the easiest, safest and best way to keep your pool blue all season long. The other chemicals where designed and made for the pool service companies who can only service a pool once a week. But they are marketed now to homeowners for convenience sake.
Liquid chlorine or Clorox bleach are the best way to sanitize your pool.
Investing in good cleaning equipment is a must also. A good brush and leaf rake will make keeping your pool clean a breeze. Brush at least once a week and skim the leaves off the top when you check the chemicals.
Some above ground pools cannot be manually vacuumed but their is a great alternative in the
Water Tech
Pool Blaster battery operated cleaners. These work really well and I use them on my pool route every week. They are easy to use and reliable, plus they come with a one year warranty so it is a safe purchase.
There are actually a lot of automatic cleaners available but the two I listed are the most popular. You can find more listed on my website:
