Chemicals For Water Balance
One of the main aspects of maintaining your new pool will be keeping a correct water balance. For this you will need chemicals and a way to check the chemical balance of your pool. Keeping the right PH balance and chlorine levels is necessary to keep the water safe and free of bacteria. You will need a good quality water testing kit as well as the chemicals to maintain the balance. Most people use chlorine, muriatic acid and baking soda as a alkali.
Tools For Pool Cleaning
Another part of pool ownership is cleaning the pool. You will want a leaf skimmer to remove floating debris. If there is a large amount of falling leaves and debris in your yard, you may want a leaf net or pool cover to keep debris out when not in use. To clean the pool, you will need brushes to scrub the sides and bottoms.
Your pool pump and filters will also need regular cleaning and maintenance. Make sure you discuss with your local pool professional what you need to keep on top of your pool equipment to ensure it is well maintained.
