Manage Your Pool Remotely During Your Vacation

Do you finally have the chance to go on vacation this year? But leaving your pool unattended for a week (or more) can be risky. Unfortunately, your neighbor doesn't know how to manage a pool. Hopefully, you can use the iopool app to help him. Bonus, a few tips about what you should do before leaving.

Our Advice

Before leaving:

1. Clean your pool from top to bottom. Walls and floor, water line, skimmer baskets and filters must be as clean as possible before you leave.;
2. Do not leave without having a balanced pH (between 7 and 7.2) and an optimal disinfection-capacity;
3. Place slow chlorine in diffusion in your skimmer or floating diffuser. Count 1 pebble per 20 m³ or 1 tablet per 2 m³ of water.;
4. If you have a roller shutter or an opaque cover, it is best to cover the pool while you are away. However, if you are equipped with a bubble cover, it is better not to use it (to avoid the proliferation of algae).;
5. Leave the filtration running: Set the filtration system to half the time recommended by the iopool app.
