Regular maintenance is a vital part of pool ownership as it ensures the longevity of the investment and protects everyone from hidden dangers. By conducting regular maintenance and inspections, the majority of pools can be kept in top condition, allowing you to have more time to enjoy other aspects of pool ownership.
Benefits of Pool Maintenance
Beach To Bay Divers & Pools recommends cleaning your pool and performing water tests weekly. Additionally, scheduling regular servicing, electrical inspections, and filter replacements according to your manual is advised.
Maintaining the condition of your swimming pool is easy through regular cleaning of designated areas and performing quick equipment inspections. Diligent owners will enjoy sparkling water and be able to spot any problems early, saving them money, health risks, and additional repair work.
Weekly Pool Cleaning is a Good Start
The frequency of pool cleaning depends on factors such as the season, the area around the pool, and its usage. Our team recommends committing to a weekly pool cleaning routine to remove harmful bacteria and algae, which can cause damage to pumps and filters. Weekly cleanings also prolong the life of your pool, improve water quality, and eliminate other microbes that can cause illnesses such as gastroenteritis and ear, nose, and throat infections. Even for those using automatic pool cleaners, performing weekly cleanings is recommended.
Your Weekly Pool Maintenance Schedule
- Skim your pool’s surface: If you don’t own a net for your pool, this should be the first step in maintaining it. Over the years, many pool owners have learned that their prized backyard feature attracts all kinds of leaves, creatures, and dirt. It’s important to clean your pool by swishing a net over the surface to remove dirt and debris before adding chemicals.
- Brush the entire pool to remove any stubborn bacteria and algae.
- In the warmer months, algae and bacteria can thrive. However, with the right conditions in place, a swimming pool can become a biohazard at any time of year. You can eliminate algae and bacteria by brushing the walls, tiles, and other surfaces. Pay attention to hard-to-reach areas that may be easily missed, as they are perfect breeding grounds for microbes.
- Improve water quality with clean skimmers and pump baskets.
Pumping systems are an important part of the pool cleaning system, but they can be neglected during routine cleaning. Take the time to clean your skimmer baskets and pump to keep your system clean and effective. A clogged pump basket will not only affect the quality of your pool water over time but can also put stress on your pool’s seals.
