During this time, many people find themselves staying home more than ever, making their home a sanctuary. So what better way to continue to enjoy and protect your investment than a handful of tips on keeping your mosaic pool tile looking the same as it did the first week you were able to enjoy it.
Did you know? A pH of 7.4 is considered "ideal" when swimming pool water. Ideally, total alkalinity is around 80 to 120 PPM* (*Parts per million)
Clean off and Brush tiles along the waterline. With all mosaic pool tile, the most common area of concern is where water and air expose the tiles, and this is usually the waterline around the pool. Usually, hard water and heat are the causes of calcium deposits on the waterline of a pool.
Don’t forget the Grout The grout between your swimming pool tiles can be prone to algae or calcium buildup. To remove, start by scrubbing the grout with a stiff brush. Keep an eye on areas exposed to the elements such as sun heat and air.
Vacuum, Vacuum, Vacuum You should aim to vacuum your pool at least once a week. Skimming will only remove the leaves and debris that are floating, and most debris that enters a pool floats for 3-4 hours, so vacuuming is critical to keep a pool sufficiently clean.
Water pH Pool water should be tested regularly to make sure it's clean and healthy. The pH scale is a measurement of acidity or alkalinity that runs from 0 to 14. A reading between 7.2 and 7.8 is ideal and means the water is safe to swim in.
Consistency is Key To keep your mosaic pool tile buildup-free, you should establish a good pool maintenance regimen that includes testing your water’s pH and alkalinity levels (you can buy an easy-to-use test kit at your local pool supply store) and brushing your mosaic pool tile regularly.
