Test consistently
Heat and heavy use can increase sanitizer demand. Consistent testing is more reliable than judging water by appearance alone.
Maintain circulation
Keep baskets clear and watch for visible changes in water movement. Equipment concerns should be addressed before circulation drops further.
Remove debris early
Leaves, grass, pollen and storm debris add work for the water and filtration system. Weekly skimming, brushing and vacuuming help keep that load under control.
