How Do I Clean My Pool After A Storm Or Flood?
- Remove all larger debris from the pool using a net, remove debris from the pool deck and surrounds.
- Check pump, filter and other mechanical parts for damage. Contact Sapphire Pool & Spa’s if you need replacement parts.
- Brush walls and floor, and then vacuum.
- Clean the pump strainer and the skimmer basket.
- Use an oxidiser to help counteract the build-up of organic matter that the storm added to the water.
- Add an algaecide to prevent algae growth due to the increase of organic matter in the water.
- Test the water and rebalance where needed - there is a good chance the pool has chemically shifted due to the storm. Contact Sapphire Pool & Spas for a FREE comprehensive water analysis.
- Run your circulation and filtration systems until the water is clear again.
