Useful to know
Pool guide: chemistry, filters & cleaning tools
Clear water is chemistry plus circulation, in that order. Keep these numbers in range and you will rarely need to shock a pool at all.
What chlorine and pH levels are correct?
Free chlorine 1–3 ppm and pH 7.2–7.6 for a residential pool. Above pH 7.8 chlorine loses more than half its killing power and the water turns cloudy; below 7.0 it corrodes grout, ladders and eyes. Test twice a week in summer, weekly in winter.
Why does chlorine disappear so fast in summer?
Unstabilised chlorine burns off in under two hours of Gulf sun. Cyanuric acid — the stabiliser — at 30–50 ppm protects it. But above 100 ppm it locks the chlorine up instead, and the only fix is partly draining and refilling.
Which numbers besides chlorine matter?
Total alkalinity 80–120 ppm keeps pH from bouncing; calcium hardness 200–400 ppm stops the water leaching calcium out of plaster and grout. High calcium leaves the white scale line at the waterline; low calcium eats the pool itself.
Sand, cartridge or DE filter?
Sand traps 20–40 microns and is backwashed when pressure rises 0.5–0.7 bar above clean. Cartridge traps 10–15 microns and is rinsed every 4–6 weeks. DE is the finest at 2–5 microns. Whichever you have, run a full turnover — 6–8 hours of filtration a day in UAE summer.
What cleaning tools does a pool actually need?
A leaf skimmer net daily, a wall brush weekly (nylon bristles for vinyl and fibreglass, stainless only on bare concrete), a manual vacuum or a robotic cleaner, a telescopic pole, and a test kit. Empty the skimmer and pump baskets every few days — a blocked basket starves the pump and burns the motor.
What should I do after a sandstorm?
Brush the walls and floor before vacuuming so the dust is suspended, run the filter continuously for 24 hours, then shock at night — daylight destroys the shock dose before it works. Check the filter pressure the next morning.
How do saltwater pools differ?
A salt cell makes chlorine from 3,000–4,000 ppm of dissolved salt, so you handle no chemicals weekly — but the chemistry rules are identical. Clean scale off the cell plates every 3–6 months, and watch TDS: more than 1,500 ppm above your fill water means it is time to dilute.
