Daily Pool Maintenance Checklist

For daily pool maintenance, here’s what your checklist should include:

Daily Checklist

Check the water level: Make sure the water level is optimal so that skimmers are functioning properly. Water levels that are too high can cause overflow, while low levels can render the skimmer useless. Add or remove water as needed to maintain the required level.
Check the water circulation: Make sure the water circulates properly for a distribution of chemicals to maintain consistent water quality.
Conduct water tests : Test water chemistry parameters, including pH, chlorine/bromine levels and alkalinity. If there are deviations from the required parameters, adjust them as needed.
Remove debris from the pool’s surface: Use a net or pool skimmer to clean the pool’s surface from leaves, bugs and other floating debris.
Examine the skimmer and pump baskets: Clean the skimmer and pump baskets by removing leaves or twigs, which can prevent proper water flow and filtration.
Inspect the pool equipment: Examine pool pumps, filters and heaters for malfunctions, unusual noises and leaks.
Inspect the safety equipment: Make sure all safety equipment, including rescue poles, life rings and safety signs are in place and easily accessible for emergency situations.
