How to clean the pool edges is a common question for those who have a space like this. After all, it's no use the water being clean and crystal clear if the edges of the structure are still dirty, isn't it? Therefore, in this article, we are going to talk about how to clean this part of the pool and explain the importance of using the correct products for this. Check out!
How to Clean Pool Edges
In practice, the step by step on how to clean the pool edges is very easy. For sanitization, you will need a soft sponge and a Biodegradable Edge Cleaner. See how to do it:
- Moisten the sponge with water;
- Apply a little Biodegradable Edge Cleaner to the sponge;
- Rub the edges with circular movements in places without contact with water;
- Rinse the area with pool water and sponge.
Simple, isn't it? Oh, there's no need to worry about dirt residues coming off the edges, as the filter retains these particles and keeps your pool water always clean.
The importance of using the right products
Although the step by step on how to clean the pool edges is very practical, it is necessary to be careful especially in relation to the products used in this process. For example, it is ideal to always use a soft sponge and never brushes, abrasive sponges or steel wool, as these materials can scratch and cause other damage to the pool.
The same care also applies to chemical products. Do not use bleach, bleach, disinfectants or any other type of solution that is not specifically indicated for cleaning edges. These products can end up posing risks to the health of the water and, consequently, to the safety and well-being of bathers.
In fact, even between edge cleaners, you have to be selective. The ideal is to use biodegradable products, as they are not harmful to the environment. Also, choose products that have low foaming so as not to harm the purity of your water. Essenceless solutions are also the most suitable.
What to do when there is foam at the edges of the pool
Are the edges of your pool clean, but is there foam on them? Well, there are several causes for this problem and it's important to analyze the scenario to identify which one is most likely.
Excess chemicals, for example, is a situation that can cause foaming in the water. Imagine that your pool is full of algae: you then start the emergency treatment to clean the water and, at the same time, apply the edge cleaner. This mixture of products can cause chemical reactions and foam.
Therefore, it is best to do one procedure at a time. First all the emergency treatment and then cleaning the edges. This last process, in turn, must be done with a product that reduces foaming. It is worth paying attention to brands, as some reduce this phenomenon.
Another important precaution so that there is no foam formation on the edges of the pool is with regard to the use of free chlorine. This product is used to disinfect water and, therefore, must be applied to the pool constantly. When this is not done, free chlorine levels drop too low and can create chemical reactions, causing a thin layer of foam on the surface.
Finally, another problem that foam can cause on the edges is the use of sunscreens and suntan lotion, which come off the body and are impregnated in the corners and filters. Then, when the filter starts to work, foam bubbles start to appear. Of course, it is not possible to rule out the use of these products, but it is worth installing a shower for people to use before entering the pool.
