5-Minute Pool Care Tips
Small habits that make a big difference to your pool's clarity, safety and running costs.
Skim daily, vacuum weekly
Surface debris starts sinking and decaying within 24 hours, staining the floor. A 2-minute daily skim saves hours of vacuuming later.
Test water twice a week in summer
Heat, UV, and bathers rapidly consume chlorine. Test strips take 30 seconds and prevent costly algae outbreaks.
Add chemicals at dusk
Chlorine breaks down 40-60% faster in direct sunlight. Dosing at night means more of your chemical actually works.
Rinse the filter monthly
A clogged cartridge drops flow by up to 30%, making your pump work harder and costing you money in electricity.
Keep water level mid-skimmer
Too low and the pump runs dry. Too high and the skimmer can't catch surface oils and debris efficiently.
Cover the pool when not in use
A pool cover reduces evaporation by 95%, cuts chemical use by 50%, and keeps debris out — saving time and money.
