Watch chlorine levels. It’s important to test the water daily using a chemical test kit to ensure it is clean and safe to swim in. The ideal chlorine level is 1.5 to 2 ppm (parts per million) and high chlorine levels can be reduced by installing Ozone or UV disinfection systems. Stabilisers like cyanuric acid can be used to prevent chlorine in an outdoor pool from being destroyed by the sun’s UV rays.Monitor water levels. If your pool has a skimmer system, water should be kept at about half the level of the skimmer opening. If it falls below the opening, it can affect filtration efficiency or even cause damage. Surface debris will not be skimmed into the skimmer, Malay says. In an overflow channel pool, the water level should be up to the overflow grating point as this will help the surface debris to be skimmed off easily.

Do not neglect the walls and the floor of the pool.  Be sure to brush the floor and the walls of the pool to keep the pool as clean as possible and to make your plaster finish have the longest life possible.  Brush every three weeks or as needed.

Neglecting your salt chlorine generator.  Be sure to clean the cells of the salt chlorine generator to keep them running efficiently and producing enough chlorine.  Failure to maintain the salt chlorine generator, could result in costly repairs later.

The filter in your swimming pool will also need to be cleaned. The best way to go about this is to familiarise yourself with the type you have and to follow the manufacturers’ instructions.
