How to wash a frame pool?

If previously the pool was considered an element of luxury, today it is an excellent solution for arranging a local area or a summer cottage. However, most people, swimming and playing in the pool, get carried away, forgetting that the structure needs to be monitored and looked after. We are talking about the obligatory cleaning of the tank, both from the outside and from the inside.

In this article we will talk about how to clean a frame pool, what materials and tools can be used to maintain the integrity and functionality of the tank.

First, let's figure out why you need to clean the pool, because many people think: if it contains only water, it should be clean anyway. But this is a misconception. A pool for a summer cottage or cottage is a reservoir that is located in an open area and, of course, can be contaminated with sand, leaves, feathers, insects, and various debris. Do not forget that cosmetics, sweat and hair of bathers get into the water and, therefore, on the walls of the tank.

And also the pool must be washed from:

• algae;
• mold and bacteria;
• rust, limescale;
• "Other life" that is formed in the water.

This kind of pollution is caused by the sun. Its rays, constantly heating the water, contribute to the appearance of various microorganisms.

Everyone understands that swimming in a dirty pool is not only unhygienic and unpleasant, but also dangerous to health. That is why the tank needs to be washed at regular intervals.

To process a frame pool, you need:

• before cleaning, determine the level and nature of pollution;
• if necessary, clean plumbing fixtures, filters and pumps, water and tank walls;
• choose a suitable cleaning method;
• use only special detergents and cleaning agents.

Let's figure out how to clean the pool - both the water and the walls. So that there are no questions and misunderstandings left, we will talk about all types separately.

There is no need to buy special preparations to purify the water in the tank. To tidy up the water, you can use the tools at hand.

• Butterfly net - it can be used to collect large debris from the surface of the liquid.
• Water or underwater vacuum cleaner - the equipment is designed to remove fine debris, dust, sand or clay from the bottom of the structure. The device can be of a manual or automatic type.
• Plastic mop - it needs to be connected to a garden hose, and as a result, this structure will work like a vacuum pump.
• Chlorine tablets - the drug instantly dissolves in water and disinfects it. To determine the required number of tablets, you need to know the exact volume of the pool.

Experts recommend installing a filter system, which is sand, cartridge and diatom. Each of the filters is designed to remove debris of a specific size. But do not forget that they also need to be periodically cleaned and replaced with a new device.

If it's time to clean the pool of greenery, dried black and limescale, you must definitely use special preparations that will help you clean the tank quickly and efficiently.

In addition, you need to decide on the method of cleaning the walls, which happens:

• chemical;
• mechanical;
• electrophysical.

In the course of the work, all these methods can be combined, it is not necessary to use only one. Such a tandem will make it possible to perform better cleaning and get rid of more dirt and microbes. But before you start washing the walls, you need to remove all large and small debris from the water. And only after draining the water, you can start working.

You will need to purchase:

• telescopic brush, it is desirable that its bristles are stiff;
• scraper, rag to remove dirt from hard-to-reach places;
• a chemical that can remove plaque and algae;
• disinfectant.

The process consists of the following steps:

• apply the chemical to the entire internal area of ​​the structure with brushes and sponges;
• well process each seam of the frame pool;
• when the chemical is absorbed into the plaque, you need to apply mechanical action and remove the dirt;
• thoroughly rinse the structure with water and rags so that there are no traces and residues of the product.

It is necessary to choose a preparation for washing the pool, taking into account not only the nature of the pollution that the product must cope with, but also the finishing material that covers the bowl of the tank.

This method consists in using special devices for cleaning and washing, which are based on ozone, silver, copper and ultraviolet light. These devices are installed next to the tank and connected to it, or they are located directly in the water.

It is worth noting that this method of cleaning is more expensive, because these devices, if they are of high quality, effective, reliable and durable, are not cheap.

On the modern market there is a wide selection and range of products from different manufacturers for cleaning frame pools, both open and closed. Next, we will talk about the most effective and popular means.

Given the large selection of drugs, it is necessary to choose and buy only products from a reliable and well-established manufacturer, and preferably in specialized stores.

Electrophysical preparations for cleaning the tank also need to be selected only by well-known brands, it is imperative to keep the receipt and warranty card after purchase. The equipment must be connected exclusively according to the instructions.

It is difficult to completely prevent pool pollution. But you can do everything you can to minimize bacteria, mold and microorganisms in your pool.

In order for the water in the tank and the walls of the structure to remain clean as long as possible, it is necessary:

• clean the water after each swim in the pool;
• install special filtration systems that will perform the function of purifying and softening water;
• before swimming in the pool, it is advisable to take a shower to wash off sweat and dirt;
• monitor the pH level in water - it should be in the range of 7.0-7.4;
• Change the water once a week - this manipulation will keep the filtration system, piping, connecting elements and other equipment in the tank clean.

It is advisable to cover it with a special awning or a simple film when you are not using the tank, which will prevent leaves, dust and other large debris from entering the water.
