Maintaining a swimming pool in Kerala’s tropical climate requires a slightly different approach compared to other regions. With year-round humidity, heavy monsoons, high temperatures, and diverse water conditions, pools here need consistent care to stay clean, safe, and sparkling. Whether you own a residential pool, a rooftop plunge pool, or a commercial resort pool, understanding Kerala-specific maintenance practices can save you time, money, and unnecessary repairs.
In this guide, we break down everything you need to know to keep your pool healthy throughout the year.
Kerala experiences:
✔ Humid summers
✔ Heavy monsoon rains
✔ Warm temperatures for most of the year
These factors impact pool water by:
Increasing algae growth
Diluting pool chemicals during rains
Causing pH imbalance
Bringing in dust, leaves, insects, and debris
Increasing evaporation on hot days
Proper maintenance begins with acknowledging these conditions and adjusting your cleaning and chemical schedule accordingly.
Balanced water is the foundation of a clean and safe pool. In Kerala’s climate, aim for the following:
Due to humidity and rainwater entering the pool, chemical levels drop faster. Test your pool twice a week during summer and after every heavy rain.
Warm temperatures and moisture create perfect conditions for algae, especially green and mustard algae.
Shock the pool weekly during summer
Brush walls and floor to remove hidden spores
Use an algaecide regularly
Run the filter for 6–8 hours daily
Maintain proper chlorine levels
If your pool receives direct sunlight, consider using stabilized chlorine to reduce evaporation.
Pool filters work harder in Kerala because of dust, rains, and organic debris.
Backwash at least once a week
Clean skimmer and pump baskets daily
Ensure circulation is strong and uninterrupted
Replace sand or cartridges when needed
A clean filter reduces chemical usage and improves water clarity.
Monsoons bring mud, leaves, and rainwater into your pool.
Check and balance chemicals
Clean drainage around the pool
Cover the pool if unused
Increase chlorine dosage
Test water every 1–2 days
Brush and vacuum regularly
Remove stagnant water from covers
Monsoon is the toughest time for pool owners—professional maintenance from JK Pools Kerala can make it hassle-free.
A simple weekly routine keeps your pool inviting:
Skim floating debris daily
Brush tiles and walls

Kerala’s lush greenery is beautiful—but leaves and pollen often find their way into the pool, so consistency is key.
Humidity affects metal components and electrical systems.
Check for:
Pump noise or overheating
Leakages
Corrosion
Pressure fluctuations
Light fittings
Timely service avoids expensive replacements later.
