PART 8
POOL MAINTENANCE
1. LINER
a. Check the liner regularly for leaks. A liner with holes may cause a drop in water level, which may result in damage to the pool or the
filter unit.
b. Minor repairs can be made to the liner with a repair kit. Any major damage should be resolved by replacing the old liner with a
new one.
2. POOL WALL, VERTICAL SUPPORTS AND SUPPORTS
a. Keep the pool wall, vertical columns and supports clean. Wash them down with mild soap. Do not use abrasives, chemical solvents or
cleaning powders.
b. Wash off any spilled pool chemicals right away.
Warning:
Concentrated chlorine may cause damage to the pool liner and metal parts of the pool. Wash down any
contamination right away.
c. Recoat all exposed screw heads and nuts with clear outdoor varnish.
d. Check regularly all metal parts for possible corrosion, at least once a season. All grooves and corroded areas on metal parts should be
treated with a suitable anti-corrosion coating – follow the instructions provided on the can.
Remember:
All corroded areas on the pool wall must be coated with an anticorrosion coating. If the pool is heavily corroded, it
may collapse.
e. Pay special attention to any leaks at the skimmer and return openings. Leaks must be fixed immediately.
3. POOL LADDERS
a. For safety and practical reasons do not leave step ladders in the pool unnecessarily. Only fit them for the period of time which is
absolutely necessary, ie: when the pool is in use.
b. The pool ladders are exposed to the effects of chemicals dissolved in the water. It is therefore necessary to check them for corrosion
from time to time. If you see symptoms of corrosion, treat the areas concerned with the appropriate coating.
