Once we have constructed your swimming pool, we will recommend you with the chemicals that are safe to use with vinyl liner pools. But it's important to keep in mind that to achieve proper balance, add dissolved chemical one at a time through the skimmer, allowing ample time for the first chemical to completely disperse in the water first before adding the next.
Keep the pH balance for vinyl liner pools within the range of 7.2 and 7.6 to ensure safety both to your swimming pool and the swimmers. Chlorine, a pool sanitizer, should be kept between 1.5ppm and 2.5ppm. Otherwise, algae may start growing below 1.5ppm and you risk wrinkling vinyl liner pools if your chlorine is greater than 2.5ppm.
Over time, falling debris, sunscreen oil, and dust accumulate in vinyl liner pools. Clean your pool at the water line to remove any stains or residue. Remember that oil, vinyl, and sun exposure isn't the best combination for vinyl liner pools. Make sure that you only use cleaners that are specifically designed to clean vinyl liner pools. Abrasive cleaning tools may bleach the lining, destroying it. Sharp objects should also not be used as these can puncture vinyl lining tools.
Covering your pool helps in prolonging vinyl liner pools. It prevents dirt, dust and other debris from falling in it and it also protects it from ultraviolet rays coming from the sun. However, remember to let vinyl liner pools "breathe" by taking off its pool cover every 24 hours. Failing to do so enable the buildup of chemicals, this is also not good for your pool or your swimmers.
Vinyl pools have become the favorite of the market not only because it is more affordable than the other types of swimming pools, but also because of its many advantages. Be sure to properly maintain it to avoid any costly repair bills in the future and to maximize the investment you have made in your swimming pool.
