- 1). Hook up the vacuum equipment that came with your pool and clean the pool bottom. Maneuver the vacuum slowly over pool surfaces to ensure all debris is picked up. Moving too quickly spreads debris. Vacuum pool surfaces at least once a week.
- 2). Apply a shock treatment to the pool. Mix shock with water inside a 5 gallon bucket. Pour the mixture into the pool water with the pool circulating. Do not pour shock directly into your pool's skimmer. Perform a shock treatment every two weeks.
- 3). Treat your pool with an algae preventor. Walk around the edge of your pool and pour in an algae preventor chemical. Typically algae preventors are applied 2 to 3 ounces per 10,000 gallons of pool water. Perform an algae treatment once per week.
