Some Things You'll Need

  1. Purchase and learn to use a good water testing kit. I prefer the Taylor Reagent FAS-DPD K-2005 or K-2006 pool maintenance kits. These kits are user friendly but require some practice in getting the "swirling" technique down. A good water testing kit will save you time, money, and frustration in the long run for both inground and above ground pool maintenance. pool water testing, pool test kit pictures,pool chemistry,pool chlorine, pool pH, alkalinity Remember: when using these water testing kits, you need to "swirl" the mixture.
  2. A good leaf rake, not those little blue square nets.

  3. Telescopic pole. They usualy come in 12-16 feet in length.
  4. Wall and bottom brush
  5. Floating thermometer
  6. A good swimming pool cover pump might be in order
  7. Bromine tablets and/or chlorine tablets. You may also want to investigate swimming pool chemical feeders. This keeps a constant flow of chlorine in your pool, even when you're not there.

  16. A good swimming pool ladder. There are many styles from which to choose. You can get many above ground swimming pool ladders and inground pool ladders with either two, three, or four steps. Just be sure it is stainless steel, has an anti-slippery surface, and no sharp edges.
  17. A sturdy set of swimming pool steps for both above ground and inground pools
  18. Rescue hook
  19. Swimming pool chlorine, which goes by the name of calcium hypochloride, if you're in the mood for a nice $100 word. Be sure to get the granular swimming pool chlorine as that has the most active chlorine available, about 65%-68%.

  20. Ring buoys
  21. Swimming pool backwash hose
  22. A swimming pool vacuum and hose
  23. Extra DE, cartridge, or sand for your sand filter
