Routine Pool Maintenance: A Cleaning Program That Works
Ensuring your pool is safe for swimmers is about more than just water chemistry. Granted, balancing pool water is a fundamental part of cleaning and sanitizing, but there's more to it than just that. Imbalanced pool chemistry will make water cloudy (or worse), debris will clog filters and limit circulation, straining internal systems. Have pools running better than ever with a tailored cleaning program from your local Puddle expert.
It’s easy enough to shock your pool when you start to see cloudy water, but this isn’t always enough to keep bacteria and algae growth at bay. Instead of focusing on sanitizer levels, Puddle technicians will test and balance chlorine or bromine, calcium levels, total alkalinity, and pH levels.
Even with a pool cover on it’s just about impossible to completely prevent debris from getting into water. Floating items can be scooped up with a basic skimmer, but sunken items are harder to reach. Typical pool vacuums only work on flat, open areas. This means corners, angles, and the area around steps collects bits and pieces that just sit against liners. If not removed quickly, these pockets of dirt and debris will leave permanent staining behind. Puddle crews use manual vacuums to dive into those hard to reach areas and speciality brushes to remove residue from walls, steps, and flooring.
