How Often Should You Brush Pool?

Frequency of Pool Brushing
- Brush your pool at least once a week to prevent algae growth.
- Brush more often if the pool gets dirty from leaves or other debris.
Techniques for Effective Pool Brushing
- Thoroughly brush the walls, floor, ladders, steps, and corners to remove all dirt.
- Use a stiff nylon or stainless steel brush to effectively scrub the surfaces.
- Nylon brushes are softer and won’t scratch surfaces; stainless steel brushes remove tough stains better.
- Brush while the pump operates to churn up the water.
- Brushing takes 10-30 minutes per day depending on pool size.
- After brushing, skim and vacuum to remove all loose debris so it doesn’t go back into the water or clog filters.
- Keeping the pool deck clean through sweeping, spraying, and occasional disinfecting prevents dirt from re-entering the water.
- Proper brushing and cleaning make it easier to maintain good water quality and a sparkling pool.
