Pool Guide

Preserving water quality

Poorly maintained water quickly becomes cloudy and can become a breeding ground for bacteria, algae and fungi. To avoid these inconveniences, it is essential to regularly test and adjust the chemical parameters of the water.

• Checking the pH: An unbalanced pH can cause irritation and reduce the effectiveness of chlorine. It should be kept between 7.2 and 7.6.
• Chlorine control: Insufficient chlorine encourages the proliferation of micro-organisms, while too much can cause skin irritation.
• Anti-algae treatment: A preventive treatment limits the appearance of algae and keeps the water crystal clear.
• Continuous filtration: Filtration removes impurities and reduces the need to use large quantities of chemicals.

Regular monitoring of these parameters helps to avoid unpleasant surprises and guarantees healthy water throughout the season.

Avoiding premature wear and tear of equipment

Swimming pool equipment, such as the pump, filter and liners, is put to the test. A lack of maintenance can lead to premature deterioration and require replacement much sooner than expected.

• Cleaning the filters: A dirty filter prevents proper water circulation and increases energy consumption.
• Pump check: A low water level or pump malfunction can cause overheating and failure.
• Liner monitoring: Liners and membranes must be inspected to prevent cracks and leaks.
• Maintenance of skimmers and discharge nozzles: These components ensure proper distribution of chemicals and must be cleaned regularly.

Simple weekly maintenance can considerably extend the lifespan of your installations and guarantee optimal functioning. Preventive maintenance helps avoid costly repairs that could be prevented with a few simple actions. A broken pump, a blocked filter or a leak can quickly lead to significant expenses.

• Regular inspection: Check seals, valves and fittings to prevent leaks.
• Monitoring the filtration system: A poorly maintained pump can lose efficiency and require premature replacement.
• Checking water levels: If the level is too low, air can be drawn in and cause the pump to overheat.
• Proper winterisation: Poor winterisation leads to frost damage, causing cracks and deterioration of the filtration system.

By carrying out regular maintenance, you minimise the risk of breakdowns and avoid unnecessary expenses.

Improve bathing comfort

A well-maintained swimming pool is synonymous with comfort and pleasure. The water should be pleasant to the touch, without an excessive chlorine odour and free of suspended particles.

• Clear, uncontaminated water: Thanks to good filtration and regular maintenance, the water remains crystal clear and pleasant to swim in.
• Reduced risk of irritation: A well-adjusted pH prevents skin and eye irritation.
• Safe swimming: Preventive maintenance guarantees a clean, bacteria-free pool, reducing the risk of skin diseases.
• Water at the right temperature: Proper maintenance of the heating system maintains an ideal temperature throughout the season.

Good maintenance ensures a pleasant swimming experience for the whole family and avoids the inconvenience associated with poorly maintained water.

A sustainable and economical swimming pool

Taking care of your swimming pool regularly helps to avoid problems, extend its life and save money on repairs and chemicals. Proper maintenance reduces the consumption of water, electricity and chemical treatments, while providing an impeccable pool throughout the year.
