Discover the key steps to deep cleaning your pool, ensuring longevity and pristine condition. From draining the water to thoroughly cleaning surfaces and checking filtration systems, this guide by Gold Medal Pools will walk you through the necessary actions to maintain your pool’s health and appearance effectively.
Step-by-Step Draining Guide
Begin your pool’s deep clean by draining the water. This crucial step allows you to remove debris and dirt that a simple skim can’t reach. Follow local guidelines to ensure water is disposed of correctly and that your pool structure remains secure during the process. Avoid draining during or immediately after heavy rains and be mindful of the duration your pool remains empty to prevent damage.
Achieving a Spotless Pool
Once drained, remove all visible debris manually and with a push broom. Use a power washer for intensive cleaning of the pool’s floor and walls to dislodge dirt effectively. Hiring a professional service for power washing can prevent damage and ensure a thorough cleaning. Remember to keep a sump pump running during this process to manage the water flow.
Ensuring Continued Cleanliness
After cleaning, inspect and clean your pool’s filters and other machinery. This is an ideal time for any necessary repairs or replacements to keep your pool running efficiently. Refill your pool, rebalance the chemicals, and consider a filter clean to conclude your maintenance routine, ensuring your pool remains in top condition.
