Regular Pool Cleaning Service: The Importance of Routine
Skimming water surfaces is a great way to get rid of floating debris but it takes a lot more than that to keep swim spaces clean and usable. When you start to see cloudy water shocking the pool is a no-brainer but this is a largely superficial improvement. When you want real results it’s important to go below the surface with a multi-step approach to pool care.
Maintaining Water Chemistry: It’s easy to get your hands on test strips but using them to balance pool water is tricky! A basic testing kit will point out where your chlorine level is sitting but it often won’t tell you what the ideal range is. In order to properly balance pool water it’s important to consider different chemical levels including sanitizer levels, pH levels, total alkalinity and calcium.
Ditch Debris: No matter the time of year unwanted items will end up in your pool water. You can expect to see everything from floating leaves and insects, to sunken dirt and heavier bits and pieces. In order to fully clean a swimming pool Puddle technicians use manual vacuums to navigate hard angles and steps, telescopic poles to scrub walls and flooring, and skimmers to scoop out unwanted items. In addition to removing debris from basins Puddle technicians empty skimmer baskets to ensure there is nothing hiding out behind the scenes.
Circulation & Filtration Systems: Pool filters and pumps are hard at work behind the scenes of every swim space. These components are crucial to keeping water systems in good shape but they are often overlooked. By flushing lines and checking filters regularly it’s possible to catch problem areas before they become disasters, prolong the lifespan of water systems and keep filters clean.
