CLEANING
 | Keep the waterline of your pool clean. |
Dust and dirt from the air can combine with body and suntan oils to form a residue at the waterline which can over a short period of time bake into the liner during hot summer days which can cause the liner to prematurely harden and crack especially where sun exposure is greatest. Corners are hard to clean, make an extra effort to keep them clean before they get away from you.
| Do not use abrasives such as sharp bristle brushes or steel wool to clean your waterline. |
Your liner has a special transparent topcoat that could be harmed with their use. Abrasive cleaners or chemicals are also not allowed. Instead, use a sponge and a small amount of mild detergent or household cleaner.
| Vacuum your pool bottom to keep dirt from accumulating and clinging to the liner. |
Be careful that your vacuum head is specifically for vinyl liner pools or that has no sharp edges that could harm the liner. Don't use too much force that could harm the liner.
| Run your filter system at least four hours per day during warm weather. |
Clean your filter regularly. Impurities allowed to build up in your filter will shorten its life and not clean your water properly.
| Automatic pool cleaners do a great job of keeping your pool free of dirt and debris. |
They work off of the pump motor that you already have.
| Some algae staining may appear if water chemistry is not properly maintained. |
It will usually clear up after proper maintenance.
