New owner tips that prevent expensive mistakes
- Test your water 2-3 times each week during warm months and after heavy use or storms.
- Keep sanitizer and pH in range first; those two values influence almost everything else.
- Make smaller chemical adjustments, then retest, instead of adding large amounts all at once.
- Empty skimmer and pump baskets frequently to maintain flow and filtration performance.
- Clean your filter on schedule so you are not fighting cloudy water with extra chemicals.
- Track what you add each week so seasonal patterns become predictable and manageable.
Pooli supports multiple test methods and gives you a clear action plan from each result.
