Ottawa Residential Pool Services

Having a backyard pool can add a lot to a home. A clean and inviting swim space is a great place to host, get a bit of exercise, and enjoy warm weather. Whether your water system is high traffic or used less frequently, it is always at risk of contamination. From organics and nearby plant life, to sunscreen and body products, pool care is a constant need. Calling a professional for your Ottawa residential pool services means great results, safe swim spaces, better condition and even lower utility bills.

In a commercial space, there is a lot more pressure to keep pools clean on a regular basis but it is easy to let things slip at home. With a busy schedule, it is easy for water systems to slip your mind but even a bit of neglect can lead to serious issues, both for your pool itself and for the people swimming inside. Industry experts are able to provide routine care, seasonal spruce-ups and inspections to ensure that your swimming pool is running smoothly, no matter the time of year.

Pool Services At Home: Great Results, Inside & Out

In order to keep up with the needs of your swim space, pool maintenance should be broken down into a multi-step approach that keeps water clean, the pump and filter running and addresses any structural issues that might be happening. During an amateur cleaning and inspection, pool surfaces and water lines might get the most attention, but there is plenty more going on below the surface.

Water balancing is tough at the best of times, but it becomes even more difficult when using a basic testing kit. Simple test strips can point out a low chlorine level but they often do not address the full scope of your water chemistry. Everything from pH levels to total alkalinity, chlorination and more, are important to consider. Just shocking your pool is not always enough to balance water. Measuring chemicals in parts per million PPM is necessary to getting great results.

Filtration systems are the unsung hero of any pool system. Cleaning out skimmer baskets might be a part of your regular routine, but not many pool owners dig much deeper than this. If there are clogs or blockages building up inside your circulation systems, they put strain on overall function. This means your mechanisms have to work harder, using more power and reducing the lifespan of your internal components. This means having to deal with the cost and headaches of repairs more often.

The best way to improve curb appeal, keep water clear and prevent blockages is to remove debris regularly. All it takes is one strong wind to litter your pool surfaces with organic debris. Leaves, sticks, seed pods, pinecones, insects and more will float on top of water, but can also sink below it leaving permanent staining behind. Once a vinyl pool liner is stained, the only way to get rid of discolourations is a full liner replacement. Vacuuming the pool bottom might help to remove visible debris but it can’t clean away residue that has formed or even reach into hard angles and tight corners.

In addition to regular care and cleaning, it is important to safeguard your pool system for the season. Dropping the water level in your pool system for winter can help to protect interior mechanisms, and make for a smoother pool opening in spring.
