If you believe that your home in Western Australia’s capital city could use some luxury, spare a
thought for installing excellent Perth fibreglass pools. With this type of swimming pool, you can
have a stylish and durable pool with little of the taxing maintenance needs of the conventional
types—nevertheless, it is not without its own cleaning needs. Here’s what you need to know:

 

 

Cleaning Algae

 

Fortunately, algae do not easily get trapped in the pores of your fibreglass pool unlike other
conventional pools, so all you have to do is to sweep it all the way to the main drains. You can
also fight algae using the water chemistry in the pool, preferably by keeping the pH levels
somewhere between 7.2 and 7.6.

 

Removing Rust

 

To get rid of pesky rust stains on or around your fibreglass pool, you should consider applying a
vitamin C tablet directly on the stain and wait until it clears up. If it was caused by metal, it
should dissolve pretty quickly—otherwise, you might want to use a soft-bristled brush to help it
along.

 

Ring Stains

 

Essentially, light ring stains can be dissolved by simple scrubbing with soap and water or liquid
detergent. Otherwise, here are some tips from Doityourself.com about removing the heavier ring
stains:

“Put oxalic acid in the water to remove heavy bathroom ring stains. The water may
appear cloudy for a few days following treatment. Run the pool filter to clear the cloudy
water and then pour chlorine. Follow manufacturer’s specifications as to the amount of
chlorine for your size pool. Make sure that the pH balance of the water is within the
range of 7.2-7.6 when the pool filter is in use.”

 

Cleaning Products

 

When using commercial products to remove stains, be sure to be cautious about how corrosive
the product might be for the pool. For instance, some harsh cleaners could discolour the pool
and even alter the chemical balance of your pool water, making it a dangerous mix that could
significantly affect the health of your family.

 

Buying fibreglass swimming pools from Perth companies like Palm City Pools is only the first
part of the equation. The next thing to do is to ensure that your pool remains clean and well-looked
after for as long as you use it.
