Our Recommendation is:
Daily: Skim the surface for debris.
Weekly: Vacuum the floor, brush walls and steps, check water chemistry, and use a metal sequestrant to prevent metal staining from the pool heater.
Weekly: Shock the pool, apply algaecide, check and adjust the pH, inspect the pool filter, the pump and run the circulation system for one hour per 10° F of air temperature.
Once a month: Check calcium hardness.
