Routine Pool Maintenance Programs: Keep Water Clean & Flowing 

Anyone can run to a supply store for a testing kit and a bucket of pool chemicals but putting these to use is a lot more complicated than meets the eye. The needs of your swimming pool are constantly influx so creating one treatment plan isn’t enough to carry condition throughout the year. Instead of relying on a one-size-fits-all approach it is important to perform in-depth cleanings on a routine basis to maintain great condition. 

How to Best Remove Debris From Pools: Whether you live in the middle of a downtown core or on the edge of town organic debris is always a problem. High winds can dislodge tons of leaves, seed pods, tree needles, pollen and more from surrounding plants, which will fly over, landing on pool surfaces. It is easy to skim the surface of pool water but when it comes to diving below surfaces to clean the bottom of the pool it becomes much more complicated. A basic pool vacuum isn’t designed to reach into complicated areas like built-in steps or corners. This means having to use a manual vacuum for hard to reach areas, speciality vacuums to remove residue and clean out skimmer baskets. Missing one step of this can lead to clogged filters, permanent stains and a whole lot of headaches. 

How to Maintain Clean Water in Your Pool: There are plenty of test strips on the market that claim to make balancing water chemistry fool-proof but this just isn’t the case. Many of these kits will focus on chlorine levels and that is great but it neglects the other key areas of water balancing. Maintaining a sanitary swim space means balancing sanitizers like chlorine or bromine, as well as pH levels, total alkalinity and calcium. 

Keeping Up With Pool Filtration & Water Circulation Systems: When it comes to pool care internal water systems don’t often get the attention that they deserve. Even with regular cleanings there are going to be some items that get left behind. Small bits and pieces will be collected by the pool filter. When kept clean, fillers will trap and hold unwanted items while filtered water can flow back through. If not cleaned, unwanted items will build up making it more difficult to circulate. This means using more energy to push water through systems, raising utility bills and adding strain to pool pumps. Any undue strain will lead to components burning out and will lead to the need for expensive repairs and replacements. A cartridge filter should be removed and cleaned every 3-4 months while a sand filter should be emptied and refilled with clean sand every 3-5 years.
