Expert Care: The Best Way to Open Your Pool

All across the city of New Westminster, more and more pool owners are relying on professional pool services to care for their indoor and outdoor water systems. Pool water is always a key focus when caring for any water feature but the needs of your system do not stop there. After months of being closed, your pool system is likely dealing with algae growth, clogs, debris and strained mechanisms. A deep clean can help to ensure that your system is running efficiently, keeping pools and hot tubs safe, sanitary and inviting.

Check Your Filters: it is easy to become distracted by the condition of pool water, but it is important not to forget about your pump and filter. If debris has clogged up your filters, it will prevent your circulation system from running properly. This puts added strain on your internal mechanisms, making them less efficient, raising utility bills and leading to the need for costly repairs and replacements. Checking the pressure gauge on your filters can help to identify when they need to be changed out. This applies to filter cartridges as well as a sand filter.

Managing Pool Water: After sitting stagnant for a long period, it is common to pull back a safety cover, only to see murky or cloudy water, sunken and floating debris and full skimmer baskets. It is easy enough to vacuum the pool for superficial results but when you want to achieve water balance, it is important to scrub sides to remove residue, ditch debris, apply chemical treatments and dig into filters to remove clogs. There is a very good chance that you will be dealing with algae in your swimming pool, which regular chemicals can’t handle. Algaecides are necessary to creating clean water, but it is important to understand how to apply them.

Preparing Your Pool For Use: Once debris is removed, it is time to add water. Part of winter seasonal maintenance means dropping the water level to a few inches below skimmer lines. When you want to fire up your system for spring, grab a garden hose and return water lines to where they should be. In addition to the pool itself, it is important to take stock of surrounding areas as well. Diving boards are likely slippery, algae can have formed on steps and will need to be cleaned away.
