Blocked Drains York

As a homeowner in York, maintaining your above ground pool can be a daunting task, especially after draining. At Blocked Drains York, we understand the importance of keeping your pool clean and safe for use. In this article, we'll walk you through the process of cleaning your above ground pool after draining, ensuring it's ready for the next swimming season.

Before you start cleaning your above ground pool, make sure you have the following:

• A hose with a spray nozzle
• A pool skimmer or leaf net
• A pool brush
• A bucket or container for cleaning solution
• Pool cleaning chemicals (if necessary)
• A drain or sewer access (if connected to a sewer system)

Use your pool skimmer or leaf net to remove any debris, dirt, or leaves from the pool floor and walls. This will prevent scratching the liner and make the cleaning process easier.

Use your hose with a spray nozzle to rinse the entire pool, including the walls, floor, and any surrounding areas. This will help remove any dirt, debris, or cleaning solution residue.

Use a pool brush to scrub the liner, removing any dirt, algae, or stains. Be gentle, as the liner can be damaged easily.

If you notice any stains or discoloration on the liner, use a cleaning solution specifically designed for above ground pools. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for application and rinsing.

Once the pool is clean, refill it with fresh water. Make sure to check the water level regularly to avoid overfilling.

If your pool is connected to a storm drain or sewer system, ensure that the drain is clear and functioning properly. At Blocked Drains York, we recommend having your drains checked and cleaned regularly to prevent blockages and damage.

After refilling the pool, check the chemical balance to ensure it's safe for use. The ideal chemical balance for an above ground pool is:

• pH: 7.2-7.8
• Alkalinity: 80-120 ppm
• Calcium hardness: 200-400 ppm
• Chlorine: 1-3 ppm

To prevent the need for frequent draining, consider the following:

• Regularly clean the pool and surrounding areas
• Check and maintain the chemical balance
• Run the pool filter regularly
• Consider investing in a pool cover to reduce debris and dirt accumulation
