Maintaining An 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.

One of the reasons for this, is because they are very easy to maintain. The inground fiberglass pools are the favorite of most homeowners. This kind is really cost effective and it will be a great assurance that you will have a clean and more pleasing pool since it is very easy to maintain.

It is necessary to clean your pool from all those leaves and debris that may be floating in there. If you have several old trees and green in your garden where your pool is located, then you are more likely to experience this struggle. If you ignore it, the water in the pool will become very dirty and that will make it very unhygienic. You are required to have a day to day session on cleaning.

You have to avoid harsh cleaning products. They can damage your fiberglass that may need repairs that are mainly expensive. They can also alter the chemical that balances your pool. Choose those cleaners that are particularly formulated for fiberglass. Do not use stiff bristled brushes, they will leave undesirable scratches on your walls.

Stains may also occur in the pool, this is due to the changes in the level of the metals that could be present. A stain that appears to be reddish brown means that the level of the iron is high. If it will appear in bluish green, that means that the copper level is high. And if it is gray the magnesium level is high. To prevent imbalanced metal, you need to have a chelating agent, that you will be using for every 2 weeks.

The filter should be turned on every time you finish using it. The filter will gather all the debris that has been mixed up during the time it was used. You need to turn on the filter for at least six hours and at most eight hours a day to have a better circulation. By doing so, the chemical in the water will also keep its balance.

It is also important that the water in the pool will maintain its balance. A regular inspection should be done. It has an ideal pH level, and that is about at least seven point two and at most seven point six. The alkaline level should also be taken care of, it should be at least a hundred to a hundred fifty parts per million. And lastly, the chlorine level should be at least three parts per million.

Swimming pools are supposed to be used during a specific time. You also need to buy a solar cover that will help in keeping out debris and dirt. It will help you reduce the work for maintenance. And it will also greatly help in keeping its right temperature.

As an owner of one, it is your responsibility to keep it clean and welcoming. It is a part of your home, that is why and you should give importance to it. At the end of the day, you will be the one that will use and benefit it.
