How much maintenance should I expect to do with my pool?
Maintaining your pool water is an art, but it’s easier than it sounds! Discover the important factors you need to take into account to enjoy a pleasant swimming season! It all starts with a water test, which you can do at home, either with test strips or a semi-professional water test kit. You can also visit your local Sima dealer who will be happy to perform a complete analysis free of charge using their professional laboratory.
- It is important to check that the pH of your water is as neutral as possible to ensure the effectiveness of the products. Keep it between 7 and 7.4.
- You should also check the water hardness. Sima experts recommend that you keep the hardness between 200 ppm and 300 ppm.
- Filtration plays a major role in the maintenance of your pool. Clean the sand with Calypso Eco Pure every season and change it every 4 to 5 years.
- It is recommended to test your water at the beginning of the season and once a month thereafter. In addition, it is recommended that you test your water weekly at home for chlorine and pH.
