How to clean your pool stairs

Pool water chemistry

-
Brush
Brushing your pool stairs to loosen up any kind of build-up.
-
Pool pump and filter
Keep the pool pump and filter running while cleaning your pool stairs to make sure dirt will be wash out.
Kinds of dirt that might be present in your pool stairs:
-
Yellow algae
If your swimming pool stairs are turning yellow in color, you might have yellow algae. Yellow algae or is also known as mustard algae typically grows in the stairs and bottom of the pool. When the slippery substance forms on stairs, it can make entering in and out of the pool difficult. And not only difficult but dangerous too.
If scrubbing this kind of stairs can remove dirt but will be back after a few days, yellow algae are the reason. And if you are having a hard time removing them might as well get an algaecide.
Reminder:
-
Prevention
Prevention is always better than cure. Doing a little preventive measure is easier than defeating algae problems in your pool.
-
Filter
Letting your filter run while cleaning your pool stairs can also be a big help to make the process faster. Clean the pool filter on a regular basis to prevent problems in your pool water.

Pool water chemistry
Check the pool water balance as well just to make sure everything is fine. Check pool water chemistry when adding more water to your pool.
