I know that a lot of people won’t put up a swimming pool in the back yard because of a fear of maintaining said pool. Well I’m here to tell you it is actually very easy. There are 2 main things to remember to keep your pool looking good.

Now of course, our pool right now needs a good vacuum, but you see the water is very clear. This pool has been up for 4 years straight now. Yes, even during the winter. We have not had to drain it yet and shouldn’t have to as long we remember 2 main things to keep the water from turning green. First, water movement. I think this is the most important thing to remember. If the water isn’t moving it will turn green. So get yourself a good pump that moves the water and you will be fine.

The second thing to remember is chlorine. Make sure you have chlorine  in your pool at all times. That is what we have done for the last 4 years to keep our pool clean. Of course, you have to skim and vacuum the bottom on occasion. But if your water is moving and you have chlorine, you will have clear water.

I hope this has been helpful for you. Is there anything else that you do regularly for your pool?

Have a great day!
