7.1.4.General water quality suggestions
Be guided by pool professionals, but general suggestions on maintaining good water quality in your swimming pool include:

• Check your pH and chlorine levels daily. Preferably, these tests should be done before the first swim of the day, to make sure the water quality hasn't altered overnight.
• In very hot weather, it is a good idea to check the pH and chlorine twice daily.
• Remember that heated pools need more chlorine than non-heated pools.
• Brush and vacuum your pool on a regular basis.
• Regularly check the pump, skimmer boxes and other pool equipment, and repair or replace parts as necessary.
