Steps to take to maintain a healthy pelvis before going on vacation

Before you leave, there are a few steps you should take to maintain your pool, even if you are not using it:

Check the pH and lime content of your water

Indeed, if the pH level is too basic, it promotes the formation of algae and micro-organisms. Before you leave, therefore, make sure of these values, in which case, adjust them in order to find crystal clear water.

Check the water level of your pool

Make sure the water level is high enough to allow the filtration system to work. If the level is low, top it up before you leave, otherwise it could be damaged. Learn more about the ideal water level for your pool in our dedicated article by clicking here .

Clean your pool

A thorough cleaning is essential to ensure that your pool is maintained even when you are away. To do this, clean the bottom of your pool, the waterline, and the surface of the water. Don't forget maintenance equipment such as skimmers and filters.

Protect your pool

Finally, when you leave, and if you have a roller shutter or a protective cover, remember to use it. This will prevent you from finding all sorts of insects, leaves or even waste in your pool when you return from vacation. Then leave the filter running while reducing its operating time, and remember to put your slow-dissolving chlorine blocks at the bottom of your pool. This long-term chlorination treatment gives you between 2 and 3 weeks of peace of mind thanks to its disinfectant and anti-algae action.
