There are various checks required, some you need to undertake daily and some once weekly to make sure that your pool is safe to use.

Daily Tests:

· Test PH and Chlorine levels. The PH level needs to be 7.5, a special kit can be purchased to test this

· A pool filter is highly recommended, this needs to ideally run at 10 hours a day but 24 hours will prove the most effective when used constantly

· Fresh chlorine needs to be added daily

Weekly Tests:

· Check all fittings on the pool are secured properly

· Continue adding chlorine to the pool

Clean out the electronic filter to prevent possible clogging
