Once you get your pool open for the season and cleaned, it takes only a few minutes a day to keep it clean and sparkling clear. This step-by-step How To video shows you exactly how I maintain mine. 10-15 minutes a day keeps it clean and the kids happy and healthy.
Items I use to clean our pool:
RX Clear 1# Bag of shock (24 pack): amzn.to/2VYaAKx
Floating Chlorine Dispenser: amzn.to/2W5VWkA
Premier Dolphin Robotic Pool Cleaner: amzn.to/2PaVrUZ

    If your water is properly balance you shouldn’t ever have green algae on the bottom of your pool. Get your pH correct, your cyanuric acid at the right level and test your chlorine every day. Each week do a chlorine drop test, calcium hardness test and total alkalinity test.

    After backwash go to rinse for a minute and then go to filter mode. Don't go directly from backwash to filter mode.

    Hey man good video and I loved watching you chase the hose as it filled with water. When you went to backwash my brain instantly screamed "run after the hose I wanna see it inflate" and my man's did just that. Well done friend and it's good information too!

    Down the driveway, right into the storm drains. Nice

    Thanks. One tip, be sure to always turn your valve handle clockwise, this will prolong the life of the valve.

  • I will probably have to get an professional until I learn it to do it myself. but I don't even have a pool or house of my own lol. But I am browsing and the one I liked has a pool so learning these tips will be great.

    The number of thing done wrong, where to start... backwash line like that in Canada frowned upon, usually illegal. Don’t bang the skimmer strainer on the side it will break, tap the upside down open end against the open palm of your hand. Pump over powered, avoid exceeding 20PSI. No rinse after backwash, not critical but keeps water clearer. Pool could use a quick vac to waste for all those fine particles before shock and robot. DON’T dump shock in pool like that if you don’t want to bleach your liner. Robot while shocking will decrease robot life expectancy. Excessive chlorine repeatedly used indicates reoccurring algae issues, superchlorinate then follow up with regular frequent algaecide regiment to keep algae away to begin with. You should only need 5-10 min ever couple weeks with a robot and done properly. Additionally I only run my pump 1-3 days per week in the summer depending on heating needs, otherwise the pump is off. Pool is crystal clear and no algae, if I see it even starting, I spot shock it and repeat my algaecide initial dose instructions. I won’t see any signs of algae for at least 1-2 months if I keep up with semi periodic weekly maintenance doses of algaecide. Yes, I have been maintaining and servicing pools for 30+ years too...

    I make sure my water is properly balanced. If not balanced, I add alkalinity increaser and PH plus if necessary. I also do not use a clarifier nor algecide. Clarfiers are band aids to the problem. The last time I added pool shock was about a month ago. As of now, my pool does not contain a drop of algae and is crystal clear. FYI, when algae is in the pool, after getting rid of it, phosphate removal must be added. Algae causes phosphate buildup, and phosphate buildup causes more algae to grow.
