Cleaning your water
To keep your water beautiful and free of dirt, you can use a landing net to remove visible surface debris. For bottom cleaning, we recommend the use of a vacuum cleaner or pool electriccleaner.
Not only will this ensure clean water, it will also prevent your skimmers from becoming clogged with dead leaves or any dirt that might get stuck in them.
Cleaning your liner
To enjoy a beautiful pool all summer long, it's essential to clean the liner, especially the tile-band. Impurities and limescale are deposited and accumulate. By using a specific product and a tile-band gum, you limit the transmission of dirt from the liner to the water.
Filtering your water
Water filtration is an essential step in ensuring a clean pool all season long. Since 80% of healthy, high-quality water is obtained through proper filtration, this is an aspect that should not be overlooked. Make sure that your pump is well adapted to the volume of water and flow rate of your pool. The filter retains even the smallest particles, so you can enjoy clean and limpid water.

Our advice for private customers
For in-ground pools
To maintain your inground pool this summer, follow these 3 steps:
- Keep your swimming pool clean by covering it with a in-ground automatic slatted cover for perfect integration into your garden, or a above-ground automatic slatted coverwhich will enhance your garden with its end-stands. To clean your in-ground pool, we recommend using a landing net to collect the elements on the surface, but also at the bottom of your pool, thanks to landing nets or pool robots. To clean your liner, you can use Pool'Gom sponges, which will clean your liner without damaging it.
- Filter the water using your pump, which will clean the water more finely. Pool water filtration removes impurities larger than 15 μm.
- Check, maintain and treat your water regularly, to limit the proliferation of smaller impurities such as algae and bacteria. This is the ultimate step in pool cleaning.
For swimming pools above-ground
For above-ground pools, the same 3 steps must be followed, using equipment adapted to the constraints of above-ground pools. For example, you can fit your pool with a bar cover specially designed for above-ground pools, along with a reel system to limit deposits in the water. You'll also need to check the quality of your pool's filtration and water, just as you would for an in-ground pool.
