As with any investment, your pool needs a little TLC to maintain its high-performance record. Your Pool Season®  dealer can help you establish a seasonal and regional care plan, but most pools follow a basic maintenance calendar.

Once a Week

  1. Shock your pool in the evening using a Pool Season shock treatment. Shocking restores your pool water, killing germs and destroying any organic contaminants. Be sure to follow the label instructions.
  2. The next morning, add a maintenance dose of Pool Season algaecide.

Twice a Week

  1. Check and maintain pH levels at 7.2-7.6
  2. Monitor and maintain chlorine levels at 1.0-3.0 ppm
  3. Empty skimmer baskets, skim leaves, insects and other debris from the pool surface.
  4. Clean the pool wall tiles or the vinyl liner at the water line. Use only approved tile or vinyl cleaners.

Monthly

  1. Take a water sample to an authorized Pool Season dealer for a complete professional water analysis.
  2. Be sure to test the alkalinity, calcium hardness and stabilizer levels.

Mid-Season

  1. Clean your filter.
  2. Use a Pool Season filter cleaner or degreaser to remove any oils and grease that may have accumulated throughout the season.
