Our advice Maintenance and wintering

For cleaning your swimming pool, sweeping is recommended, from the inside, on the edge side, towards the outside of the pool deck.

Clean the water line using a sponge; if there is a deposit, use the appropriate anti-scale and anti-grease product.

It is sometimes necessary to lower the water level by 1 or 2 cm, in order to clear the water line. Be careful not to rub the hull with an abrasive product, this would make it porous and even more vulnerable later! By following these steps, the walls of your pool will be like new

The surface net, or the bottom net, should be used to remove dirt.
The net is pushed slowly in an "S" motion in a regular manner, avoiding backtracking. Regular maintenance of your pool is essential for its lifespan. Discover our article "How to clean your shell pool" !

The use of a telescopic broom or non-manual vacuum cleaner is mandatory in an uncovered swimming pool.
You can also use an automatic vacuum cleaner! Discover our article on how to choose your pool robot by clicking here

Introduction of disinfectant and flocculant agents, PH regulating products for the treatment of your swimming pool:

Disinfectants:
Four ways to proceed, depending on the products and coatings:

• • Directly in the basin, watch out for “gelcoat” coatings;
  • In skimmers, this is a common process and without major risk;
  • In a semi-automatic doser;
  • By an automatic regulating device;

Flocculants and pH regulators:

• • Directly into the basin or,
  • by an automatic regulating device.

The skimming of the water surface is carried out by the surface skimmer (skimmer) thanks to the floating flap which encourages the passage of surface water layers.
It is necessary to avoid fouling and depositing dirt on the skimmer wall and obstruction of the pre-filtration basket.
The emptied skimmer basket is put back in place.

After stopping the filtration system, closing the inlet and outlet valves is mandatory for a pump in charge, i.e. installed below the upper level of the water body; the basket can be brushed.
Reposition, close the cover then reopen the valves for the next phase: Unclogging the sand.
Restart to unclog the filter load.

This is a kind of regeneration of the filter media. Turn the 6-way valve to wash to clean the filter. This phase is automatic and allows the filtration quality to be maintained.

Role of the PH analysis/measurement kit:
Most disinfecting agents have increased effectiveness at a low pH, from 6.8 to 7.2.
Do not go below 7 to avoid causing disorders related to the aggressiveness of the water: Mucous membrane of the human body or metal parts of the circuit. Chlorine levels, water pH and water quality no longer hold any secrets for you. A green pool? Find out how to fix it in 24 hours

The use of maintenance products for the treatment and disinfection of swimming pools by individuals requires scrupulous compliance.

Before any use, read in full the information contained on the product label which specifies the risks and the precautions to be observed.

Comply with the applications described on the packaging and never use the product for uses other than those specified in the instructions for use and in particular respect the prescribed doses.

It is best to open the packaging outside and store the products separately in a ventilated and airy technical room, protected from humidity and inaccessible to children.
Avoid breathing dust or vapors from products.

In concentrated form, never mix chlorinated cleaning products with each other (e.g. tablets and pebbles) or with other chemical products, whether in solid or liquid form.
Dissolve pool maintenance products in water but never pour water onto or into a concentrated product.

Apply treatment products one after the other (for example, pH corrector then disinfectant) and never simultaneously.

Always apply the product in the water with the filtration running, to facilitate its dilution and then leave the filtration to operate for several hours.

Preferably carry out treatment after swimming.

Failure to follow the manufacturers' instructions could cause damage to your pool.

Carefully close the packaging after use, and empty it completely, especially when it comes to bags. Before throwing it away, rinse the packaging, for example with pool water. Never reuse empty packaging and to avoid any confusion, throw it away empty and well closed.

Avoid prolonged contact between the concentrated product and skin, eyes, clothing or pool equipment. It is recommended to wear gloves and goggles.

In case of accidental contact with a cleaning product on the skin or eyes, rinse with plenty of water for several minutes then consult a doctor immediately, referring to the product label.

Write down an emergency number (poison control center, fire brigade, emergency services, etc.) in a place known to the whole family and easily accessible.
