Keep your pool clean and enjoy the rewards of diving into the cool water this summer.
During the swimming season, your pool should be maintained on a daily basis:

Check filter pressure.
Clean filter if the water is not clear.
Remove debris from strainer basket.
Weekly maintenance:

Use a nylon brush to clean tile and walls of pool.
A stainless steel brush should be used to loosen algae on concrete walls.
Check walls or vinyl liner for cracks or tears, and repair with an appropriate kit for your pool.
Test the water, and add recommended chemicals.
Hose off the deck but aim water away from the pool.
Consider hiring a professional since pool maintenance can take anywhere between four and eight hours a week.
Invest in a pool cover that will reduce evaporation, keep debris out of water and trap the heat.
