A Hayward pool requires constant maintenance operations you need to perform weekly. It may seem a bit too often, but this is the price of quality and luxury, so if you want the best service, you need to help with it and ensure it works properly.
Start with the surface. Whenever you don’t use the pool, there will always be leaves, debris and even insects “using” it. Remove all this “garbage” with a skimmer before it gets under the water. It is harder to get it then, it comes with an unpleasant feeling and it may even stain the floor of your Hayward pool.
When it comes to the exterior of your pool, you can use a simple brush to clean the dirt. Make sure it is soft enough to avoid scratching the pool. For the interior of your pool, use a different brush. As you keep removing the dirt, try to direct it to the top drain. This way it will be taken away by the pump very easily.
The hoses need special attention too. Before connecting them, use a vacuum to make sure there are no dead leaves or debris inside. Ideally, you need as less work as possible for your Hayward pool filter. For this reason, try to maintain it clean and perform cleaning operations as often as you can. If you can do it more often than weekly, then do it.
The whole system needs to be verified periodically too, starting with the pump and ending with the chlorinator. Pay attention to the quality of the water and try to figure out if there’s something going wrong. Also, don’t forget about shocking the Hayward pool with chemicals, but don’t exaggerate. Do it as the manual says. Shocking helps by preventing the stains, bacterias or algae.
