Calgary Pool Care: What Your Swimming Pool Needs & When
There’s no one-step secret to effective pool care. Keeping a swimming pool running smoothly means breaking the cleaning process down into multiple maintenance tasks. Puddle technicians achieve top-to-bottom cleans with every service with a multi-step approach.
Balance Water Chemistry: If you’ve ever had to take a water sample into a pool supply store, you know how inconvenient it is! Simple test strips will usually indicate imbalanced sanitizer levels, but they don’t always offer up enough information to properly balance chemistry. Having water tested by an expert means balancing chlorine levels, total alkalinity, pH levels and calcium.
Remove Debris: Robotic pool vacuums are great tools to have on standby or for supplemental cleaning, but standard vacuums aren’t designed to reach into hard angles or navigate complex spaces. These vacuums aren’t able to suck up dust, algae or small particles and they can’t remove residue from walls or flooring. Puddle technicians use specialty pool equipment including manual vacuums and brushes to suck up unwanted items from hard-to-reach areas and scrub residue from walls and steps without causing damage.
Clean Filters: No swimming pool is complete without a filter. The most common filter types throughout Calgary are cartridge filters and sand filters. The goal of filtration systems is to remove debris from circulation by trapping it and letting filtered water pass through. Dirty filters can’t function properly and will limit the water’s ability to pass through. This means strain on internal systems and shortened lifespans for pumps and other components.
