The Three C's of Swimming Pool Maintenance

SEBASTOPOL — Proper swimming pool maintenance consists of three primary aspects, which is why it’s important to remember the “three C’s”: consistency, chlorine and cleaning.

Consistency
Examine your pool at least once a week to make sure all systems are functioning properly. Taking a few minutes each week to check on things will go a long way toward preventing major issues.

Chlorine
One of the most crucial aspects of pool maintenance is sanitation. As both a sanitizer and an oxidizer, chlorine offers the most cost-effective means of keeping your pool germ-free.

Cleaning
To keep your swimming pool an enjoyable and relaxing place, it’s important to skim for fallen leaves and debris, clean the filter baskets, and perform other general upkeep on a regular basis.
