Valves must occasionally be operated through their entire range to prevent dirt and corrosion from making them inoperable. This should be done while the pump is turned off.

Clean coping and decking. Use nonabrasive cleaners and sweep away from pool. Acceptable methods for cleaning outdoor pool decks are hosing and mopping.
