Columbia, TN Pool Maintenance

Essential Weekly & Bi-Weekly Pool Care

Regular maintenance is the cornerstone of a healthy pool. Our scheduled visits ensure consistent care, preventing common issues before they escalate. Each visit includes a meticulous process designed for maximum effectiveness.

• Skimming and Debris Removal: We clear your pool's surface of leaves, insects, and other floating debris. This prevents organic matter from breaking down and affecting water chemistry.
• pH Testing and Water Chemistry Management: We perform precise pH testing to maintain ideal water balance. Water chemistry involves balancing pH, alkalinity, and calcium hardness to prevent corrosion, scaling, and skin irritation.
• Brush Walls and Steps: Algae and dirt often accumulate on surfaces. Regular brushing keeps your pool sparkling clean and prevents stubborn stains.
• Vacuum Pool Floor: We vacuum the pool floor to remove settled dirt and fine particles that filters might miss.
• Routine Equipment Checks: Our technicians conduct thorough routine equipment checks on your pump, filter, and heater. This ensures all components are functioning efficiently and safely.

Specialized Services for a Sparkling Pool

Beyond routine care, certain tasks require deeper attention to maintain your pool's health and longevity. These specialized services are critical for long-term pool well-being and performance.

One key service is filter cleaning. Your filter is your pool's kidney, trapping contaminants. Over time, filters become saturated with debris, reducing their efficiency. We conduct deep cleans for cartridge filters and backwashing (reversing water flow to flush out trapped debris) for sand and DE filters. This process ensures optimal filtration and crystal-clear water.

Another vital service is pump inspection. The pool pump circulates water, pushing it through the filter and heater. Our inspections include checking for proper flow rates, unusual noises, and potential leaks. We also monitor your system's TDS (Total Dissolved Solids), which is a measure of all organic and inorganic substances dissolved in water; high TDS can make water cloudy and reduce sanitizer effectiveness.

We expertly manage various critical chemical levels. This includes balancing alkalinity, which is the water's ability to resist changes in pH, preventing wild fluctuations. We also monitor cyanuric acid (CYA), a stabilizer that protects chlorine from UV rays. Too much CYA can reduce chlorine effectiveness, while too little allows chlorine to dissipate rapidly. We also perform shock treatment (adding a large dose of chlorine or non-chlorine oxidizer) to eliminate chloramines (compounds formed when chlorine reacts with contaminants, causing strong odors and irritation).
