BASIC
POOL MAINTENANCE
Get the most out of your pool
by following the five essential steps to basic pool maintenance.
With our help, you'll become the neighborhood expert in no
time. So let's get started.
Circulation
The more your water is in motion,
the harder it is for bacteria and algae to take hold. Maximize
your sanitizer's efficiency by circulating your pool water–preferably
during the day for 10 hours or more. Debris will also be captured
by your filter more easily.
Filtration
An essential piece of equipment,
your filter removes both visible debris and most microscopic
matter. Check the manufacturer's guidelines on backwashing,
the process that removes material trapped on or in the filter
media. A regular chemical cleaning is necessary every 4-6
weeks, with a product like Strip-Kwik, since backwashing will
not remove oils and deeply embedded debris.
Cleaning
Algae and bacteria can begin to grow in areas
that have little or no circulation. At least once a week,
brush and vacuum the walls and floor of your swimming pool.
Brushing is a must, even if you use an automatic pool cleaner
or retain a weekly service.
Testing
Certain pool elements must be regularly measured and adjusted.
Most important are pH and the level of active sanitizer–both
should be tested weekly. You should also bring a sample by
one of our three locations when you open and close your pool,
and every four to six weeks during the season.
Proper water maintenance
Make sure you apply the right products to your
pool water at the right time. We can give you precise instructions
on what to do. It's just one of the many valuable benefits
you'll receive as a Pools Plus customer.

POOL
CARE PRODUCTS
BioGuard®
offers a full line of products to help keep your water ready
for swimming. Once more, they are all color-coded for simple
pool care–so it is easy to recognize the different product
categories. They Include:
Sanitizers
This group of products form the main ingredient of basic pool
maintenance. Their role is to keep pool water clear and protected
from bacteria. Each BioGuard® pool care program is based
on a sanitizer to provide this important protection.
Oxidizers
Use oxidizers to superchlorinate the water and chemically
destroy the organic contamination introduced by bathers and
the environment. Oxidizers restore water clarity, maintain
water balance and eliminate the main causes of eye and nose
irritation.
Algicides
and Algae Solutions
BioGuard® has products to kill, prevent and control algae
infestations. Use them to avoid murky water, increased chlorine
demand and clogged filters. Let Pools Plus recommend the product
that best suits your pool situation.
Balancers
This category includes products that control scale, prevent
metallic stains, adjust the pH and total alkalinity, and correct
mineral imbalances.
Stain Preventors
Stains can appear on pool surfaces because of metals such
as iron, copper and manganese, in the water. These products
will prevent stains caused by these metals.
Cleaners
And Water Enhancers
This category covers a broad range of products, including
pool covers, preservatives, water clarifiers, tile and surface
cleaners, and products to combat high chlorine levels and
foam. BioGuard® also offers a line of high quality vacuum
hoses and hand-held cleaning accessories.
To find a program that best fits your lifestyle, check-out
our BioGuard® Pool Care Programs

BioGuard® makes water testing
easy
Frequent water testing is the best way to keep your pool in
tip-top shape. Test your pool or spa water at home with BioGuard®
test kits, replacement reagents and test strips. You should
also take a water sample to one of our three locations every
four to six weeks. We will perform a professional, computerized
water analysis to help keep your water balanced and beautiful.
