DIY Pool Cleaning Checklist for Beginners

A sparkling pool requires regular attention. Here’s a simple checklist for first-time pool owners:

Weekly: – Vacuum the pool floor (manual or robotic). – Brush pool walls and steps. – Test and balance water
chemistry. – Empty skimmer and pump baskets.
Monthly: – Clean filter cartridges or backwash sand/DE filters. – Inspect equipment for leaks or wear.
Consistency is key! A few minutes a day saves hours of deep cleaning later
