How to Keep Your POOL WATER CLEAR (For Beginners)

[@TulsaPoolBoys]

Love the cheat sheet, such a great resource for all pool owners.

[@passthepuck]

Do you have a video on the plumbing? Where should the handle be in the clear position or more in the skimmer position? Plus, I have a water feature.

[@johnlakey4983]

May I please ask if you have any advice for cold plunge tanks. I have a 120 gallon chest freezer that I keep at 38 F and wish to add ozone water treatment. We use it about 10 minutes a day.

What chlorine tablets are recommended?

[@pwright01]

I use Sam’s club brand of 3in tabs

[@GiniRisinger]

We got an above ground pool last summer (3500 gallons). We never could get the water numbers right. Our hardness and alkalinity was always very high. The pool store told us to put 3 chlorine tablets in the skimmer and 1-3 in the skimmer every week. But it never worked. We are getting ready to open the pool this week. Any tips?

[@SwimUniversity]

Sounds like you might have hard water. Try using a filter on your hose when you fill it. 3-inch chlorine tablets are way too powerful for only 3500 gallons. Switch to 1-inch tablets, granules, or liquid chlorine.

[@GiniRisinger]

@@SwimUniversity yea that's exactly what I found out by watching your videos as far as the tablet size goes. We had a pool water company bring that water to fill it. But all our water here is hard. We just pulled the cover off and it's thick and green so he's going to just drain it

[@AllenCarpenter-m9l]

I always know it’s time to clean my filter when my heater won’t run 😂

[@SwimUniversity]

Oh no, the poor heater 😅

[@cheryl814]

I have an inground pool and have carbon ants trying to come through the bottom. They bore tiny holes and already fixed 13 holes. What could be the solution on how to get rid of the ants thanks.

[@SwimUniversity]

Without moving the pool, have you tried any ant bait around the pool perimeter? Or borax?

Does this link work for you? www.swimuniversity.com/pool-care-cheat-sheet/ Otherwise send us an email through the website and we'll make sure you get it!

[@Utubeisazzho]

@@SwimUniversity negative. Same issue. Download now does nothing.

[@laurazeller2014]

I downloaded the cheat sheet about a year ago and I no longer have it. Is it possible to get another one? I've tried downloading it a couple of times but it doesn't download and I figured it's because I downloaded it once before.

[@SethKolbePrefect]

Idk about a cheat sheet but I am a pool technician that could answer most of your questions.

Have a question..all levels in the pool are where they need to be but still have cloudy water any suggestions..​@Diamond______________________Q

[@michaeladammiller]

@@SwimUniversity I tried to download but it doesn't do anything when I click on the button

[@Zandex0]

I came here to see what I'll need to do to keep my pool clean... I think I'll stick to changing my pool 2 times per month.

[@ritarushing3274]

My pool is opening on Monday🎉

[@SwimUniversity]

Woo hoo! 🙌

[@Stacie0725]

What if all of those have been done and the water is STILLLLLL cloudy

[@deadbrocks]

Flocculant

[@SwimUniversity]

Have you tried clarifier or flocculant?

[@Stacie0725]

@@SwimUniversity not yet. That's my next step

[@goldslinger]

Don’t think backwashing more often is better, it’s not. A dirty filter traps smaller and smaller particles. Backwash only when necessary.

[@SwimUniversity]

Yup! Agreed. Only if the pressure gets high or the jet flow is low.

[@ahmadaddurobi]

And if the pressure never goes down and the flow is great for 2 straight months. Do I backwash anyway?

[@getmorecontent.]

Shock and chlorine all those chemicals a suicide for your skin and body😢
