Answer: Every other day
Explanation: During peak season, you should check your pool's skimmer baskets at least two to three times a week. High temperatures and increased debris from trees, pollen, and pool usage can lead to quicker buildup. Keeping the skimmer baskets clean ensures proper water circulation and filtration, preventing potential clogs and maintaining water clarity. If your pool is heavily used or surrounded by a lot of foliage, checking them daily may be beneficial.
