There are essentially two types of swimming pool, an "above ground pool" and an "inground" pool. This is an important distinction to be aware of when it comes to pool cleaning, as the latter is normally more costly and more difficult to clean.
You can spend a couple of hours each day fishing unwanted visitors and debris out of your pool. Or you can invest in an inground pool cleaner. Either way, you'll have a pool to make the neighbors green, but they'll be just a bit greener if they know you aren't out there every day on pool cleaning duty.
When it comes to cleaning your inground pool, it is essential that you make the right choice. Neglecting this aspect of owning a swimming pool can have severe consequences, as I am sure you are aware! But just in case you need a reminder, an unclean pool can make those who swim in it very sick!
Since the real enemy is bacteria, people tend to want to combat this problem by "shocking" the water with large amounts of chlorine. Although this is an effective way to kill bacteria, the chlorine is also an irritant to the human eyes and skin.
Look for an in ground pool cleaner which is simple enough to operate that you can turn the job of getting it started over to your kids if necessary; if you need a degree in mechanical engineering to figure out how to use it, your pool will probably get quite dirty between cleanings.
The problems associated with too much algae can easily be avoided. If the algae are kept in check in the first place it will not be able to feed bacterial organisms. This is where the manual labor comes in. A sturdy pool brush that reaches down the full length of the sides of the pool is an essential part of your pool cleaning equipment. A chlorine test kit to make sure that the chlorine is at a high but safe level is also a needed tool in pool cleaning and care. Your pump must also be functioning at full efficiency and you must make a daily effort to use your skimmer net to remove any foreign particles that get into your pool.
