(BPT) - After any kind of severe storm, cleaning up your swimming pool may seem daunting. Between the tree branches and leaves, random debris, and generally dirty water in your pool after the stormy weather has passed, it’s hard to know where to start. Fortunately, the experts at Leslie’s have some easy-to-follow tips and advice to help you get your pool back in great shape, so your family can enjoy it once again.
Your pool’s water needs to be about halfway up the skimmer. After a heavy rainfall, it's likely that excess water has overfilled your pool. If necessary, you can lower the water level with the help of a submersible pump or by backwashing your sand or D.E. filter until the level is where it's supposed to be. Explosion Proof Torch Light
Once your water level is back to normal, you can start tackling the clean-up process.
3. Test, balance and shock your pool's water
Healthy water starts with proper balance and sanitization. Remember to never mix chemicals, and always read and follow all product label instructions. Keep the pump running on high speed when adding any pool chemicals to your water.
If you’re unsure how to test your pool, or if you're looking for something more accurate than an at-home test kit, you can use Leslie’s free in-store AccuBlue® water testing service to help determine the next steps in recovering your clean and healthy pool.
