Sacramento summers are brutal on pool chemistry. Heat and heavy use can burn through chlorine and throw off balance quickly. Here’s a simple weekly routine to keep your water clear.
1) Test and rebalance (weekly)
- Free/total chlorine
- pH
- Total alkalinity
- Calcium hardness
- Cyanuric acid (stabilizer)
2) Brush walls and tile
Brushing breaks up early algae growth and helps your sanitizer do its job.
3) Empty baskets
Clean skimmer and pump baskets to protect circulation and reduce strain on your pump.
4) Skim and vacuum
Remove debris before it breaks down and clouds the pool. Vacuum as needed.
