How To Keep a Crystal Clear Clean Pool (Just a few minutes a day)

Once you get your pool open for the season and cleaned, it takes only a few minutes a day to keep it clean and sparkling clear. This step-by-step How To video shows you exactly how I maintain mine. 10-15 minutes a day keeps it clean and the kids happy and healthy.
Items I use to clean our pool:
RX Clear 1# Bag of shock (24 pack): amzn.to/2VYaAKx
Floating Chlorine Dispenser: amzn.to/2W5VWkA
Premier Dolphin Robotic Pool Cleaner: amzn.to/2PaVrUZ

Hey man good video and I loved watching you chase the hose as it filled with water. When you went to backwash my brain instantly screamed "run after the hose I wanna see it inflate" and my man's did just that. Well done friend and it's good information too!

[@louisd95714]

I make sure my water is properly balanced. If not balanced, I add alkalinity increaser and PH plus if necessary. I also do not use a clarifier nor algecide. Clarfiers are band aids to the problem. The last time I added pool shock was about a month ago. As of now, my pool does not contain a drop of algae and is crystal clear. FYI, when algae is in the pool, after getting rid of it, phosphate removal must be added. Algae causes phosphate buildup, and phosphate buildup causes more algae to grow.

[@Tony-vn2zf]

bru, clarifier is phosphate removal 🤦‍♂

[@77hemi]

​@@Tony-vn2zf 😆 🤣 😂

[@fredfields6916]

If your water is properly balance you shouldn’t ever have green algae on the bottom of your pool. Get your pH correct, your cyanuric acid at the right level and test your chlorine every day. Each week do a chlorine drop test, calcium hardness test and total alkalinity test.

[@stevegonzales3612]

My advise is that if your gonna have a pool built...pay the little extra and have the "self cleaning heads" put in! I have a 40' x 35' pool, and I have 30 pop-up cleaning heads. I've had my pool 5 years, and I have gone out to physically clean it zero times! The self cleaning heads clean both the floor, and surface of the pool water of ALL debris! It also keeps your water moving to prevent stagnant pool water - which we all kno can cause the dreaded algae. I spend roughly 3 mins a week to clean out the silk socks, and add chlorine if needed. But if you like too physically brush the dirt from your pool floor, or set up your skimmer to float around and hope it gets all the debris that is floating on the surface, then respect 👊

[@slappychicken7045]

I've been in the pool care business for over 10 years and I hate cleaning heads. When I see them, they always need to be repaired and they cost tons of money to install and repair and they look terrible.

[@stevegonzales3612]

@@slappychicken7045 So what I hear you saying is you clean pools, and your NOT a licensed pool builder? I have a dark pebble tech finish in my pool, so you don't even see the heads. These heads have a LIFETIME warranty, and I've had my pool for 5 years, and haven't changed a cleaning head once! But if I had to change one out, it would be like changing a light bulb...unless light bulbs are costly to you too!? All you've told me is that I as a pool customer, I would never utilize you as a business!

[@slappychicken7045]

Steve Gonzales. You’ve got it all wrong buddy. I am only telling you my experience as a pool and service professional for over 10 years. Could it be that folks who have in floor cleaning systems never use pool service companies unless their in floor system has become inoperable? Maybe but doubtful. I think more likely is that folks get “sold” on these things and are too embarrassed to admit they spent the extra money on something that is not needed, plagued with problems, and unsightly. I bet that pebble tech is nice though. Too bad it has randomly placed plastic “heads” throughout.

Chlorine evaporates rather quickly, Putting a solar cover on when not in use makes a huge difference in the amount of chlorine I have to put in.

[@rodc5092]

The number of thing done wrong, where to start... backwash line like that in Canada frowned upon, usually illegal. Don’t bang the skimmer strainer on the side it will break, tap the upside down open end against the open palm of your hand. Pump over powered, avoid exceeding 20PSI. No rinse after backwash, not critical but keeps water clearer. Pool could use a quick vac to waste for all those fine particles before shock and robot. DON’T dump shock in pool like that if you don’t want to bleach your liner. Robot while shocking will decrease robot life expectancy. Excessive chlorine repeatedly used indicates reoccurring algae issues, superchlorinate then follow up with regular frequent algaecide regiment to keep algae away to begin with. You should only need 5-10 min ever couple weeks with a robot and done properly. Additionally I only run my pump 1-3 days per week in the summer depending on heating needs, otherwise the pump is off. Pool is crystal clear and no algae, if I see it even starting, I spot shock it and repeat my algaecide initial dose instructions. I won’t see any signs of algae for at least 1-2 months if I keep up with semi periodic weekly maintenance doses of algaecide. Yes, I have been maintaining and servicing pools for 30+ years too...

[@blazel462]

I do slightly different. I never have algae either, and I never use algacide. I do skimming as dsily maintensnce and the following once a week (except backwash is every two weeks as well). To be ready for perect pool by Friday night and weekend: -Thursday during the day I brush the walls, clean skimmer and skim (as I do daily). Then I release the Maytronics Premier to vacuum. -I backwash every other week at the same time of the vacuuming. -Thursday evening, I shock the pool. For me, it’s a 33000 gallon gunite pool, so I usually add only two pounds of calcium hypochlorite, and that get’s my free chlorine to just over 5 ppm during the night, and winds up at 5 or just below for the weekend. Early season I might add an extra pound. -Friday midday I add combination clarifier, phosphate remover and a surface adhesion to prevent evaporation…it makes a beautiful shimmer in the sunlight and sunsets as well. Beautiful backdrop for evening dinner outdoors. -I check chemicals everyday and adjust as needed, but usually only in early season is when it’s necessary.

So did you rinse?

[@RCALivingStereo]

I have a Hayward sand filter huge thing Just had pool installed. My pressure is at 11 So not bad How often should you backwash

[@DANDLINC]

How often depends on how fast the media (in your case, sand) gets dirty. As it collects debris through normal operation, it will be harder to pump water through it and your pressure will indicate higher. Experiment a little...give it 5 or 6 days, note the pressure, if it's up 5-7 psi, backwash. See how much opaqueness the discharge has...and wait until it runs clear before stopping (usually about 1 1/2 to 2 minutes for mine). If the pressure returns to about 11 psi, you're back to normal again. The key is to know you're system. The fact that you already know your baseline is 11psi is a good thing. Thanks for watching.

[@oldtimedrumcorps]

turkeydoodlers L. the filter actually works better at filtering as it increases pressure from filtering debris to a point . I backwash at about 8 to 10 lbs above my start pressure which is about 11. If you ever have to vacuume a lot of spring start up debris, vacuume to waste . It by passes the filter. Backwashing too often could be counter productive . feel the outflow at the returns when new then as it gets to about 18 to 20 lbs you will notice a decrease in out flow. If you use Bacquacil you should renew the sand about every 2 yrs for best results for clear water . If chlorine I would say 3 to 5 yrs. ALWAYS turn off the pump when moving vari valve to ANY position and dont forget to RINSE after backwashing for about 30 to 45 secs .Look at your sightglass when backwashing to know when to stop . with experience you will get it . Vinyl Liner 19,ooo gal, Bacquacil inground Sand filter . 30 yrs mid atlantic region . My liner has lasted 20 years this yr . all chemicals have their pros and cons . Regards and have fun

[@warriordugan7236]

30 psi?! Seems high and dangerous. Maybe 18-22 psi would be more of a normal level. And use the rinse cycle after back washing. The pool seems too green and not crystal clear. You got to scrub the floor and walls. That expensive robot won't do as good a job as a manual brush (at least for the 1st one or 2 times after pool opening). Liquid shock chlorine every 5 to 7 days. Don't just drop all the powder shock into the pool either. Mix it in a 5 gal bucket with water and then broadcast it thruout the pool. And get rid of that silly sand filter and get a good DE filter which will clean 20x better and more efficiently down to the micron size particles which enables crystal clear pool water. But thanks for the video.
