Swimming pool maintenance and pool problems
Most pool owners have similar complaints about their pool water problems and say things like: "My swimming pool always turns green with algae!", "My eyes and nose burn when I swim and I can smell the chlorine," or "The swimming pool water is cloudy. How do I know if the water is safe for my kids?" This site addresses these and other questions.

Diagnosing swimming pool water problems
It is very difficult to make one definite diagnosis when faced with symptoms of swimming pool water problems. You should use other evidence when considering what to do (e.g. test results) and go with the one you think is most likely. More on swim pool problems diagnosis, cure and prevention.

General water quality suggestions
Be guided by pool professionals, but general suggestions on maintaining good water quality in your swimming pool include:

Check your pH and chlorine levels daily. Preferably, these tests should be done before the first swim of the day, to make sure the water quality hasn't altered overnight.

In very hot weather, it is a good idea to check the pH and chlorine twice daily.

Remember that heated pools need more chlorine than non-heated pools.

Brush and vacuum your pool on a regular basis.

Regularly check the pump, skimmer boxes and other pool equipment, and repair or replace parts as necessary.
