Children's pool virus cultivation

Some people may tell you that it's okay to leave a kiddie pool full of water for multiple uses, but the truth is that this will create a breeding ground for harmful germs and bacteria.

This is pretty obvious for pint-sized pools, right? The good news is that with just a few minutes of care, your kiddie pool will not only last longer, but it will also remain crystal clean for the next use.

And the good news is that these small pools are really easy to empty and clean.

Additional Tips for Cleaning the Kiddie Pool

Simply take ten minutes when you're done relaxing in your kiddie pool to drain it, followed by a good clean.

Don't forget to leave your kiddie pool in the sun to dry because the sun's ultraviolet rays are actually a natural disinfectant.

No germ or bacteria can resist the power of the summer sun! Before entering the wading pool, wipe your feet with a towel to prevent mud from dragging.

It has bristles about 3 cm long that are arranged on the sides and at the base (like a brush) and that help to remove dirt that is later absorbed. The front part of the sweeper is covered with rubber to cushion any blow with the liner.

  3. Wide brush. With it you can rub the floor and walls without damaging the liner.

  6. Chlorine dispenser. It is a plastic container that floats on the surface of the pool. Chlorine tablets are deposited inside and dissolve automatically when they come into contact with water. The lower part, which is submerged, has a rotating mechanism that allows the opening to be larger or smaller depending on whether we want it to dissolve quickly or slowly.
  7. pH and chlorine meter. This bottle contains test strips that, after submerging them in water, indicate the pH and chlorine level. One of the smallest and most practical pool accessories!
  8. Pool thermometer. It consists of a thermometer inside a plastic tube that floats in water. It has a small rope so you can fix it on the side of the pool you prefer.

How to clean the bottom of a removable pool manually

How to use manual pool cleaners

manual bottom sweeper
  1. First of all, you have to Disconnect the electrical current to the pool.
  2. To vacuum the pool, it is first necessary to leave it free of leaves, insects and all objects that may be floating on the water.
  3. Furthermore, you have to close the bottom intake valve and the skimmers valve.
  4. Only leave the suction or sweeper valve open.
  5. You have to place the selector valve in filtration mode.
  6. You have to connect the hose at one end to the socket that this pool cleaner incorporates.
  7. Once this is done, fill the hose with water so that we prevent it from taking in air.
  8. Once full, put the pool cleaner in the water and connect it to the suction inlet that the pool itself has.
  9. While the hoses are immersed in the pool vertically until they reach the wall.
  10. We can now start cleaning with enthusiasm, from one end of the pool to the other, passing the pool cleaner from the deepest part.
  11. Then, you can use manual vacuum equipment that must be used directly on each part of the pool to keep it clean. All of this must be done slowly and in straight lines.
  12. This is the way to prevent the water from becoming cloudy or removing dirt from the floor when you use the manual pool cleaner, since cleaning with very dirty water is a much slower process.
  13. If the water is sucked poorly or the water becomes dirty when passing through it, another problem arises and that is that the filter begins to work poorly and the suction work has to be stopped to wash the filter.

Another alternative would be to make a bypass in our pump suction, and through a PVC pipe make a suction nozzle to connect the typical hose of a pool cleaner.
It is important that the pool cleaner is made of plastic material so as not to damage the linner of the glass.

The dirt retained is greater since the sand in the filter allows smaller particles to be retained and we have to use water for this process only the normal filtration system with the water that already exists in the pool.

With a small investment in two PVC valves, some elbows and a section of pipe we can make this accessory that through a three-piece link I can disassemble and assemble when necessary. Leaving the glass free of obstacles when you are going to use it.
