Spring-cleaning isn’t always the funniest activity as it requires a lot of work, but once it’s complete it’s a weight lifted. One of the most tiring tasks is maintaining your above ground pool. So here are a few tips to help you on your way.

The first rule to remember is to clean it regularly, manually, or with a machine. The two most important things to keep in mind are to brush the inside walls of your pool to allow the water to circulate better and to vacuum preferably with a mechanical vacuum. This will keep your water clean and suck up the fallen leaves, bugs, and other debris. All this goes for your above ground pool also: no matter the material, your pool must be cleaned properly.

Not only is the pool itself important to clean, but the water inside must be filtered and well controlled. To make sure your water is properly filtered you are going to need a pool pump that should be functional for several hours a day (consult the manual of the product to be sure the circulation and time is enough), this will insure your water is always clean. There are different pool pumps to choose from such as the pool pump with timer that will automatically filter your pool at designated times. But there are so many other pool pumps to choose from, just choose the one that is the most convenient for you.

Last but not least, if you want the best for your pool, you are going to need certain chemicals to make sure you have the right amount of chlorine. To measure the amount there are different methods such as test strips that calculate your pool’s pH. Once calculated, you can use chlorine tablets to keep your pool at a stable ratio.

Of course, all of the above also applies to your above ground hot tub. Follow these simple tips and your spring-cleaning will be a lot easier.
