How to Solve Visual Problems in Your Pool
You’ve opened your pool, but the water is still cloudy or turning green? These common visual issues when opening a pool are often caused by algae growth, chemical imbalance, or poor filtration. If the water looks milky, check the pH, alkalinity, and clean the filter. Green water typically indicates algae buildup—treat it with a chlorine shock followed by a strong algaecide. To restore crystal-clear water, run the filtration system continuously for 24 to 48 hours and test the water using a test kit or by visiting a pool expert.

Pool Maintenance Tips for Clear and Safe Water
Proper pool maintenance is key to keeping your water clean, balanced, and safe all summer long. Weekly tasks should include checking the pH, chlorine or bromine levels, and total alkalinity. Clean out the skimmer baskets, vacuum the bottom of the pool, and brush the walls to prevent buildup. Don’t forget to rinse or clean the filter regularly—whether it’s a cartridge, sand, or DE filter. A consistent maintenance routine helps prevent major water issues and extends the lifespan of your pool equipment.
The essentials
Choosing the Right Pool Sanitizer
Selecting the right pool sanitizer depends on your preferences, budget, and pool setup. Chlorine remains the most popular option due to its effectiveness and affordability. Bromine, which remains stable in hot water, is perfect for spas and heated pools. A saltwater system is appreciated for its softer feel and lower maintenance, as it naturally converts salt into chlorine. Eco-friendly options like UV or ozone systems reduce the need for chemicals. The most important thing is to ensure your water stays properly disinfected for a healthy and enjoyable swimming experience all season long.
