common type of chlorine used in swimming pools is free chlorine. However, if you don&#8217;t want to use chlorine, you can also use <a href=\"https:\/\/poolresearch.com\/bromine-vs-chlorine\/\">bromine<\/a>.<\/p><p>If add chlorine to the pool, you should ensure that the type of chlorine product won&#8217;t harm the pool&#8217;s vinyl liner.\u00a0<\/p><h3>Q: How often should I clean my pool floor?<\/h3><p>A: The frequency of cleaning depends on how often you use your pool and local specifics like whether your pool is under trees, near vegetation, local bug life, high or low humidity, etc.<\/p><p>But generally speaking, you should clean your pool&#8217;s bottom surface about once every week during season.<\/p><p>If you live in a humid environment and your pool is surrounded by lush vegetation, then you may need to clean the pool more frequently.<\/p><h3>Q: Is it safe to swim in my pool after I&#8217;ve just cleaned it?<\/h3><p>A: Yes! Many people prefer to swim in their pool after they&#8217;ve just cleaned it because it feels like they&#8217;ve never swum in the pool before.\u00a0<\/p><p>But before diving back in, always test the pH level &amp; chlorine level first to ensure you won&#8217;t damage the pool &#8211; or your eyes.<\/p><h3>Q: Can I use a pressure washer to clean my pool?<\/h3><p>A: In general, no. While a pressure washer does an excellent job removing stains from rough hard outdoor surfaces, it isn&#8217;t designed to clean swimming pools which often have softer surfaces that can be damaged by high-pressure streams.<\/p><p>You definitely shouldn&#8217;t use a pressure washer unless you know what you&#8217;re doing.<\/p><p>And even if you know what you&#8217;re doing, you should only use a pressure washer on areas where you don&#8217;t mind risking surface damage &#8211; like limiting use to the above-ground pool deck, which can be repaired much more easily.<\/p><p>If you have a tile pool, you should avoid using a pressure washer on the tiles. Instead, you should use a soft brush.<\/p><p>If you have a fiberglass pool, you should avoid putting abrasive material near the seams. Instead, you should use a soft brush to remove any dirt from the edges.<\/p><h3>Q: What about those little black spots on my pool?<\/h3><p>A: Those black spots are typically caused by a form of black algae. And while they look bad, they aren&#8217;t dangerous. Algae is harmless to humans. As such, you shouldn&#8217;t worry about them harming you.<\/p><p>Instead, you should focus on getting rid of them.\u00a0 To remove black algae, we recommend using a wire metal or nylon brush and a special black algaecide designed to help kill, then remove, the organism.\u00a0<\/p><p>Make sure you follow instructions to the letter, however.\u00a0 Some elbow grease will be required &#8211; black algae is a stubborn thing.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pool floors are often neglected until they become dirty and slippery.
