How to Keep Your Pool Water Crystal Clear

A crystal-clear pool is not only aesthetically pleasing but also a sign of healthy, safe water. Here is a practical guide with simple, immediate tips to always keep your pool water clear.

1. Frequently check pH levels
The ideal pool pH should be between 7.0 and 7.4. Values outside this range can promote bacterial growth, irritate skin and eyes, and reduce chlorine effectiveness. Use a test kit regularly to monitor and correct the pH.

2. Filter the water daily
A good filtration system is essential to remove debris, dust, and microscopic particles. Make sure your filter runs at least 8 hours a day and check the condition of cartridges or filter sand to maintain peak performance.

3. Use specific chemical treatments
Proper chemical treatment keeps your pool clean and sanitized. Use:

• Chlorine to disinfect and prevent bacterial growth

• Algaecides to stop the water from turning green and cloudy

• Flocculants to gather fine particles and help eliminate them through filtration

4. Regularly remove debris and dirt
Every day, use a fine-mesh skimmer to remove leaves, insects, and surface debris. Weekly, vacuum the pool floor and walls using a manual or robotic cleaner for a deep clean.

5. Prevent algae formation
Alongside algaecide use, maintain good water circulation and avoid stagnation. Regular brushing of the pool walls helps prevent algae buildup and growth.

6. Perform regular shock treatments
At least once a month—especially during heavy usage periods or after storms—carry out a "shock" treatment with high-concentration chlorine to ensure the water remains perfectly clean and clear.
