When you are working on your pool maintenance, you also need to think about tile maintenance. Keeping your tiles beautiful and clean is important, especially in Coachella Valley, CA. In this article, we are going to talk more about tile maintenance and keeping your pool tile looking new.
Beautify Your Pool with Tile Maintenance
Having your pool installed and looking at your beautiful new tile is a great experience and it is in that moment that you need to make a commitment to your tile maintenance. Frequently cleaning your swimming pool keeps it looking clear and new; however, if you don’t keep up with your pool maintenance then your swimming pool is going to build up bacteria, debris and dirt that will require more work to clean out.
When you have unbalanced pH levels, you may notice calcium carbonate that has separated from the water to form white, gray or brown patches on your pool tile. Balancing your water and other pool maintenance can prevent scale buildup and you may find other things that are going to help you prevent scale build up, so make sure to check with a pool maintenance professional.
- Test your total alkalinity level to ensure it is in between 80 and 120 ppm. You should adjust the level before you adjust your pH.
- Test your pool’s water to ensure your pH levels are in between 7.2 and 7.6. You can adjust this by adding a pH balancer to your water.
- Calcium hardness levels should be kept in between 200 and 235 ppm since high levels increase the risk for scale. You can bring these levels down by adding soft water. You might want to look into a scale inhibitor as well.
- Follow a pool and tile maintenance schedule to clean and test the balance of your water. When you test daily, you are going to make sure your levels are manageable.
- Scrub light areas of scale buildup at the waterline with a pool brush or sponge and use a tile cleaner that is designed for your pool whether it be chlorine or chlorine-free.
