Pool Maintenance for Carlisle Pool Owners
As the seasons change, so do the needs of your pool! While you are admiring the changing of the leaves or soaking up the last days of summer, closing your swimming pool is likely the last thing on your mind. Waiting too long to close down your pool system can lead to unexpected damage, while a late opening means missing out on warm summer days. Instead of working pool care into your calendar, call a Puddle Pro and forget about it! Calling an expert for your Carlisle seasonal pool maintenance means being able to enjoy the weather without worrying!
Closing your pool for the season means more than pulling on a winter cover until spring. In order to protect water systems from damage caused by frozen water and pave the way for an easy opening in spring, just call a Puddle Pro! Expert care prolongs the lifespan of internal components and creates sanitary swim spaces when you want to open up in spring.
Seasonal Pool Care: What to Do & When
During summer, swimming pools are high traffic spaces. When a pool is being used regularly, owners are more likely to monitor water chemistry and get rid of debris. This is great for maintaining swim spaces but when fall rolls around, maintenance becomes more complicated.
Pool Closing: When the average outdoor temperature reaches 15 degrees, it is time to consider closing your pool. Ontario is known for frigid winters, and that means frozen water. It takes long periods of prolonged exposure to freeze a pool basin, but small amounts of water in internal areas will freeze earlier. Freezing temperatures make plastic brittle and causes water to expand. Frozen water expands up to 9% and while it doesn’t sound like much, this can be enough to cause pipes to burst. In order to prevent pipes from bursting and components to be damaged, winterizing drain plugs is recommended, as well as dropping the water level and applying pool antifreeze where applicable. In the same way that dropping the water level in an in-ground pool prevents freezing, installing water bags in above ground pools does the same.
Pool Opening: After months of sitting idle, it is important to inspect every aspect of your pool before stepping foot inside it. This means visual inspections of the filtration system, pump and filter, as well as vinyl liners and pool equipment. If there is algae around your pool, there is likely algae on sensitive areas like the diving boards, which can be slippery and dangerous. Even with a pool cover installed, debris finds a way to sneak inside systems, rotting and breaking apart over time. This means cleaning out skimmer baskets and cleaning filters to ensure your water is kept as clean as possible. Test strips might be able to point out issues with basic water chemistry but after long periods of disuse, you will need more than that to create a sanitary swim space. Having water tested by an expert means proper application of pool chemicals and a balanced result.
Puddle Pool Services: Excellent Results At Any Time of Year
Swimming pools and hot tubs are an investment in your home or business and professional pool services are an investment in your investment! Regular servicing helps to keep pool water clean and systems running smoothly but seasonal maintenance is the backbone of a great water system.
When spring rolls around, it will take more than a shock treatment and adding water with a garden hose to get water systems up and running. An imbalanced pool system cannot only produce poor visuals, but can lead to health and safety risks. Don’t take a chance when you can call a Puddle Pro instead. Each member of the team is fully insured to protect properties and technicians during service. By offering excellent results and competitive prices, there is never a bad time to call a Puddle technician for your seasonal pool care.
Carlisle Pool Maintenance: Frequently Asked Questions
Can maintenance include my hot tub as well?
Yes. Hot tubs need the same attention to chemistry, filters and equipment as a pool, often more frequently because of the small volume and high temperature, so it makes sense to look after both on the same plan.
What is the difference between maintenance and cleaning?
Cleaning is about the water and the surfaces. Maintenance also covers the system that keeps them that way: the pump, filter, heater, valves and plumbing. A pool can look clean while the equipment behind it is failing, which is the situation regular maintenance is meant to catch.
How do I know whether my equipment needs attention?
The signs are usually gradual: the pool takes longer to clear than it used to, the pump sounds different, pressure readings drift from their normal range or the water is harder to keep balanced. Any of those is worth mentioning, because equipment problems are cheaper to address early.
How long should the pump run each day?
Long enough to turn over the pool's full volume, which depends on the size of the pool and the capacity of the pump rather than on a single rule. Running it too little is the most common cause of water that will not stay clear, while running it longer than needed mainly costs electricity. Your technician can tell you what is right for your setup.
Is maintenance still needed if the pool is not being used?
Yes. Standing, untreated water is more work to recover than water that has been kept balanced, and equipment that sits idle without being run or properly shut down is where problems develop quietly. A pool that is out of use either needs maintaining or needs closing properly.
