Every 2–3 days (summer)

  • Test chlorine and pH.
  • Adjust as needed.
  • Empty the skimmer baskets.

Once a week

  • Test alkalinity (and hardness/cyanuric acid now and then).
  • Brush walls, steps and dead zones.
  • Run the vacuum or robot.
  • Check the filter pressure (backwash if due).

Every 2–4 weeks

  • Check the stabilizer and the hardness.
  • Clean the filter thoroughly if needed.
  • Check seals, lids and the state of the pump.

Always

  • Top up the evaporated water (if the level drops, everything goes off balance).
  • Add products with the pump running.
