How To Take Care Of Inground Fiberglass Pools

By Mattie MacDonald


If you are thinking of having your own swimming pool at home, then you are most likely having difficulties, whether to choose a concrete, vinyl or a fiberglass pool. Fiberglass is the most popular over the past years. There are a lot of reasons why it is popular and most loved material for a swimming pool.

A part of many possible reasons of its popularity is that, this material is low maintenance. Inground fiberglass pools are the most popular pools that you can see in most houses. Aside from the act that it is low maintenance, it is not that expensive to maintain it.

Clean up those bugs, debris and leaves that tend to frequently gather there. This is really common for those who have several mature trees around. If it is left unattended then it will really lead to an unhygienic water. A dirty one can be very unattractive. You need to have a regular cleaning schedule. You can use a skimming net and pole. You can also use a leaf vacuum.

Using harsh products for cleaning is highly discouraged. They can harm and damage the fiberglass and that will require a costly repair. The product will also change the chemical balances in the water. Pick a product for cleaning that are specifically developed for fiberglass. Using brushes with stiff bristles are discouraged since they will leave traces of unwanted scratches on the wall.

Stains can possibly occur if the level of metal in the water will exceed to its ideal level. If you can see a reddish brown stains, then that may be caused by an excessive iron. If there are presence of bluish green stains that is caused by excessive amount of copper. And a gray stain that is caused by a excessive amount of magnesium. To avoid these undesirable stains you can apply a metal chelating agent. Apply it every two weeks.

Turning on the filter is really necessary, especially after it has been used. It will be a great help in gathering all the dirt that may be seen floating in the water. You will necessarily turn on for approximately 6 hours to 8 hours daily to help in its circulation. It will also help in maintaining the chemical to be in balance.

You also have to make sure the chemicals are balanced. It is really important to every pool. You have to check it every day. The ideal pH level should always fall around seven point two to seven point six. It alkalinity should be in the range around one hundred to one hundred fifty parts per million. And its chlorine level at three point zero per million.

The swimming pool is expected to be used in a certain time of the day of the week. Therefore, you are required to have a solar cover. That cover will help you have a lesser work to do with cleaning the water. It will also be a great help in maintaining its temperature.

To maintain its true beauty and sophistication, you need to keep an eye on it every day. Of course, everyone wants to enjoy and relax to a clean water and not in a very unattractive and dirty place. You should always keep the cleanliness in your place, so you can always enjoy it.
