Austin Pool Cleaning Service

Nothing beats the heat in Austin like diving into a swimming pool. As great as it is to cannonball into a pool, keeping them clean can be tough! If you’re spending more time scrubbing and skimming than you are doing the backstroke, it’s time to call Puddle for your pool care. Professional Austin pool cleaning services keep swimmers safe, water sparkling clean and prevent damage so you can enjoy the swim season. 

Pool Maintenance: More Than Just Water Chemistry 

Swimming pools are made up of many moving parts. Even if a pool looks clean, there can be issues lurking just below the surface. The best way to keep swimming pools running smoothly is with a thorough and consistent cleaning schedule. 

Because swimming pools are so complex it’s important not to get stuck on surface levels. A proper cleaning will focus on surfaces as well as internal water systems, water chemistry and pool equipment. 

Step One: Remove Debris 

Getting rid of unwanted items in swimming pools is easier said than done. Even with a pool cover on debris has a way of getting inside and contaminating water. Anyone can scoop up floating items but what about sunken items and residue? Robotic cleaners are mass produced and aren’t designed to navigate angles, steps or complex shapes. Manual vacuums allow Puddle technicians to get into those tough to reach areas for a full cleaning. Speciality brushes are used to scrub residue from water lines. 

Step Two: Water Treatments 

Proper water balance is about more than just chlorine levels. Chemical treatments are designed to kill off bacteria and reduce the risk of algae growth. Without regular application it won’t take long for pool water to go cloudy or green. Puddle technicians use state of the art testing kits to measure and balance sanitizers, pH levels, total alkalinity and calcium. 

Step Three: Check Pool Equipment & Pool Filters

The condition of a swimming pool largely depends on the filtration system and circulation system. Filters are designed to trap and hold small bits and pieces while letting filtered water pass through. If filters aren’t cleaned regularly it will be more difficult for water to pass through and that puts strain on pumps and other important components. Routine cleanings reduce the need for premature repairs and expensive replacements. 

Seasonal Pool Maintenance: From Pool Parties to the Off-Season 

Texas might not have to worry about freezing temperatures but that doesn’t mean you can just throw on a pool cover and forget about cleaning throughout fall and winter. The word “winter” is used often but disuse can cause just as much damage as cold weather. If you are planning on taking a long vacation or just don’t want to bother with a swim space over the fall and winter, opt for a closing and protect your water systems.

Pool Closing

When you hear “winter chemicals” it’s not all about preventing freezing. This particular type of chemical combination is designed to prevent algae growth and help to eliminate bacteria. You can’t just throw on a winter cover and hope for the best! A closing involves dropping water levels, applying chemical treatments and closing up drain plugs. 

Pool Opening

Getting an inground or above ground pool ready for use is a lot of hard work. After sitting idle for months it takes heavy scrubbing, multiple rounds of water testing and balancing and deep cleaning to restore water condition. 

Off-Season Pool Programs

Pool owners in the greater Austin area and all across Texas likely aren’t doing the backstroke in February. Even if a pool isn’t being used, it’s important to keep it clean. Puddle technicians offer a bi-weekly cleaning program during the fall and winter. These cleanings keep water systems clean and running smoothly during the off-season so when you want to swim, just turn on the heater and hop in.
