Check the level of the pool water and fill pool if required. The ideal level is halfway up the skimmer face plate.
Brush the walls at the waterline. Brush the sides - with downward strokes of the brush to dislodge adhering dirt and dust towards the Main/Bottom Drain. If you require better suction for the main/bottom drain, turn off your skimmer valves in the pump room.
Net the floating and bottom debris. Take out the skimmer baskets and remove all insects and plant materials.
Check the return jets - ensure that the flow is pushing the surface water in the direction of the skimmers, but without them making too much noise.
