In Australia I an in the process of trying out a new system in saltwater pools that was is originally from Europe. So far "after about a month" I have found it outstanding, I have never seen the water as clean as it is now.
Rather then sand 100% fused silicon dioxide filtration media is used.
This is a salt water pool and the system. Normally these systems work with ordinary salt (Sodium chloride) which is not good for the environment and does not taste particularly pleasant in the water either.
This has been replaced wit a system that uses a combination of potassium chloride and Magnesium chloride The result is that the water in the pool is far less toxic and back wash water can be used for the garden rather then sewerage.
I use a floating Pool skimmer because I believe that if you take dirt from the top of the pool before it sinks the water stays truly clean and floating skimmers never lose adjustment. skimmers take advantage of the waters surface tension to attract floating debris. I have found that with the new salt this surface tension has increased some what keeping contaminants afloat longer for the skimmer to pick up when the pump comes on.

Magnablu This is in my opinion the best salt water chlorinator available I have seen one operating for over a year now and have never seen the pool as clean and trouble free. The system is based on magnesium and potassium chloride instead of the sodium chloride that is normally used in Swimming Pools. sodium chloride Magnesium and potassium chloride are actually good for you physically and the backwash water is good for the garden. Swimmers that use the pol report that the water feels better and leaves them feeling better then the old system did.
After 3+ decades as a licensed pool contractor with a degree in chemistry this is what I do in my pool. D.E. filter, liquid chlorine 1.0-1.5ppm, potassium monopersulfate oxidizer, pH 7.2-7.4, Total Alkalinity 100ppm. 26,000 gallon pool runs 4 hours a day in summer, half that in winter. Chemicals cost about $150 a year. No stinging eyes, no chlorine smell, no algae, no stains, no scale, 22 yr. old smooth plaster, sparkling clear water.
The best way to clean a pool with dried out leaves on the bottom is to fill the pool about an inch deep and allow enough time for the leaves to loosen up. Once the leaves are floating loose, take a wet and dry vacuum and suck out the leaves and water together.
Drain the pool water, give the tiles some good pressure washing. It is best to use a surface cleaner from bestcargurus making sure that no moss and algae are stuck on the tiles. Then fill it up again with clean water
For starters you will have to find out how much salt needs to go into your pool You would brobably be best of taking the dimensions of you pool to a pool shop , along with a clean bottle containig a sample of the pools water from about an arms length down. they will be able to test the water and tel you exactly what you require to get the pool going again.
Use a floculant you will be able to get this at your pool shop You wil end up loosing a litle water but it is the best way to get the water crystal clear.
If you can empty the pool (safely, without damaging the pool), clean it up while empty and refill, that's your best option. Otherwise start by hitting the heck out of the water with chlorine, then start vacuuming (to waste) and brushing walls until clean.
Check the pools filtration system - Ensure that your filtration system is appropriate for the size of your pool. If you do not know the correct size for your specific pool, consult a pool expert. Replace the system if necessary. If the current system is adequate, clean out the filter (clean the cartridges or backwash) and empty the pump basket and skimmer baskets to re-establish proper flow to the pool.
There are two nouns. Water and pool are nouns.
== Cleaning a pool without chemicals== Actually, scientist have discovered that hen you use a special filtration system with a low percentage salty wtaer, you'll have to clean less our pool, with less chemicals, to have a better water quality. == Cleaning a pool without chemicals== Actually, scientist have discovered that hen you use a special filtration system with a low percentage salty wtaer, you'll have to clean less our pool, with less chemicals, to have a better water quality.
no, the pool must be empty
To keep your swimming pool clean you will need a filters and a water pump. A vacuum would as be a good idea.
Pool water needs to be regularly sanitized with some sort of system that kills bacteria and other pathogens. Then the water needs to be run through a filter to remove dust and bio materials to keep the water clear
Plastic furniture, easy to clean and no water damage.
