An Inflatable Pool is a fantastic way to enjoy the summer sun right in your backyard. To keep it clean, safe, and long-lasting, regular maintenance is essential. Here’s a practical and easy-to-follow guide to help you get the most out of your inflatable pool.
1. Daily and Weekly Cleaning
Skim the Surface: Use a handheld skimmer net to remove leaves, insects, and other debris daily.
Vacuum the Bottom: A small pool vacuum or even a wet/dry shop vac can help remove dirt and sediment from the bottom.
Wipe the Walls: Gently wipe the interior walls with a soft cloth or sponge to prevent algae buildup.
2. Water Treatment
Even small inflatable pools need clean water:
Use a Chlorine Dispenser: Floating chlorine dispensers or chlorine tablets made for small pools can help keep the water sanitized.
Test the Water: Use test strips to check pH and chlorine levels weekly. Ideal pH is between 7.2 and 7.6.
Change Water Regularly: Drain, clean, and refill your pool every 1-2 weeks depending on usage.
3. Preventing and Managing Algae
Add Algaecide: Use an algaecide designed for small pools to prevent green water.
Scrub Gently: If you see algae starting to form, scrub with a soft brush and treat the water immediately.
4. Inflation and Leak Prevention
Avoid Overinflation: Fill the pool with air according to the manufacturer’s instructions to avoid stress on the seams.
Patch Kits: Keep a vinyl repair patch kit handy. Clean and dry the area before applying the patch for a secure seal.
Check Valves: Make sure air valves are tightly closed after inflation.
5. Storage Tips
Dry Completely: Before deflating, make sure the pool is completely dry inside and out to prevent mold and mildew.
Fold Carefully: Fold loosely along original seams to avoid creasing and material fatigue.
Store Indoors: Keep the pool in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and sharp objects.
6. Safety Tips
Supervise Children: Always keep an eye on kids when they’re in or near the pool.
Secure the Area: Consider placing the pool on a soft surface like grass or a tarp, and avoid rough ground.

Maintaining an inflatable pool is simple and doesn’t require much time. With regular cleaning, smart water treatment, and proper storage, you can enjoy a refreshing dip all summer long—and for many summers to come.
