Pool cleaning is more than just skimming the dead bugs off the surface of your pool water. To keep your pool in good condition, and to ensure that the water is safe for swimming, you’ll need to invest in a weekly pool service to make sure your pool is clean, the water is chemically balanced, and the equipment stays running smoothly. If your pool isn’t cleaned and maintenance regularly, you are looking at costly and potentially dangerous long-term consequences.
The good news? This can easily be avoided with a weekly routine to clean your pool, maintain the chemical balance, and to check the equipment. Taking care of a problem before it happens, not after, can result in huge savings. Repairing a cracked or corroded pool is an expense you should work to avoid.
A pool that is not regularly maintenance runs the threat of: unclean water that leads to health risks, poor water circulation and filtration components failing to function, slippery tiles from algae growth that leads to pool accidents, cracked pools, and so much more.
What should you be looking for on a regular weekly basis? An attentive pool service company will be:
Skimming Leaves and Debris
This is a task that can be done daily if you have the time for it. Skimming is the first step of your weekly maintenance routine to remove any leaves, insects, or other debris from the surface of your pool. All kinds of things can fall into your pool. Gathering them up before they sink in and create stains or clog up your filtration system is an important first step.
Brush Sediment from Pool Walls
Your pool service company should be brushing your pool walls on a regular basis. Remember that algae and small bits of debris can gather on the walls of your pool. Every week, the pool walls and accessories like ladders should be brushed to prevent the spread of algae and remove any dirt that may have collected on the sides or bottom of your pool.
