Abstract – This paper comprises of a comparative review of

clean, you will want to add chlorine tablets and adjust your pH levels (based on the initial reading). You will want to maintain stable chlorine levels in order to keep your pool cleaner. To make this easier, choose a testing kit, which tells you whether or not you should add any chemicals to the pool in order to keep your water balanced.

swimming pool cleaning methods. The comparison is based on aspects such as cleaning efficiency, type of labor used, time taken for cleaning and cost. Upon doing thorough research about cleaning methods used to remove the algae formed in swimming pools it is found that the robotic swimming pool cleaner is the best option. It does not only clean the swimming pool but also saves a lot of time, money and effort.

Pools should be hosed down weekly to keep water clean and to decrease the amount of chemicals that need to be added. You do not need to manually vacuum your pool because it uses your pools pump and filtering system, so you are saved from the hassle of cleaning it afterward. This device works by cleaning your pool using the water that comes out of your filtering system. Use a dedicated pool deck cleaner and a stiff brush to clean your pool deck thoroughly. You can also brush the floor of the pool if you do not have, or choose not to use, a vacuum. Always follow manufacturer’s instructions, or your pools installers recommendations for cleaning. This is a labour-intensive, but extremely important, step to clean a pool: Brushing helps to keep algae and other gunk out. No matter how much skimming, brushing, or vacuuming, if the filter of your pool is dirty, then your water is dirty. If you take some simple steps to ensure that the pool water is clean, you and your family/friends will be always ready to jump in.

Key Words: Manual brushing, Handheld vacuum, Automatic suction, Pressure Vacuum, Robotic Cleaner, In-floor Vacuum.

1.INTRODUCTION To keep a pool, you will want to filter your water and maintain your filters. Basic swimming pool maintenance includes washing water, cleaning the vinyl walls, keeping filters maintained, and clearing out the areas around your pool. Regularly cleaning your skimmers and pump baskets is essential for the overall maintenance of your pool. Every so often, you should also clean out the pump baskets on the pump of the pool. To clean your skimmer basket, just shut down the pool pump and remove the removable basket underneath the skimmer cover, and replace it. Remove debris from your skimmer basket (if you have a pool, you likely know where that basket is). To clean your pool yourself, scrub the surface of the water daily with your net to remove leaves and other floating debris. Skimming the water every day will keep the debris from sinking to the bottom of your pool.

1.1 Methods to Clean Swimming Pool A. Skimming and Brushing This method includes the skimming of the pool surface, which means cleaning out the leaves and the debris on the surface with the help of a skimming net and a telescopic pole. This process should be carried out on day-to-day basis. After this procedure the brushing part comes. In brushing the walls, the bottom and the pool ladder must be cleaned with a brush attached to a pole by applying force.

For weekly maintenance, a pool owner should take time to scrubbing the surface of the pool with the skimmer. The next step in the three-part swimming pool maintenance is cleaning, which involves brushing your pool, skimming the debris from its surface, and vacuuming your pool. This is a very important mechanical cleaning step which helps to eliminate all the build-up and algae on your pools walls. Brushing forces stick-on mud and algae back into the water, making it easier to get rid of with chemicals or with a pool vacuum. Even if you are using sanitizers in the pool to keep your water clean, these chemicals will wear off over time, so you will have to add it regularly. If you are using an ionizer, you still need chemical sanitizers, such as chlorine, to shock the pool regularly. Because you want to keep your pool

B. Vacuuming After brushing all the debris gets on the bottom of the pool which needs to be taken out for this the vacuum is used which sucks out all the debris from the bottom of the pool. The pool should be vacuumed once a week.
