Instead of struggling to keep up, call an expert for your seasonal pool care.

Seasonal Pool Services: What to Watch Out For

At a glance, pools are made up of shells and water – seems simple, right? The truth is that everything from the right pool cover, to interior mechanisms and pool chemistry plays a role in the overall condition of your pool. Breaking regular water into a multi-step approach can help to keep track of necessary details and set your space up for success.

Pool Equipment: Whenever equipment is coming in or out of your pool system, it is important that it is cleaned throughly. If you have left skimmer baskets sitting all winter long, there is a good chance they are full of unseen bacteria. Putting these back into pools can introduce unwanted bacteria and debris, leading to an imbalance in chemicals. What might have worked for your spring and summer will not always work throughout the colder months. Mesh safety covers, for example, allow heat and sunlight to reach water, which is great for summer but in winter, this will create an ideal place for algae, so switching to a winter cover is a must.

Mechanisms: Without a functional pump and filter, your water doesn’t stand a chance of staying clean. It is a mistake to assume that these internal workings are just, well – working! After a long period of disuse or a before closing down for a while, it is important to blow out the  return lines around your return jet and circulation systems. There are many different ways to treat a filtration system, but it is all dependent on what type of filter you have. Treating a sand filter is much different than treating a cartridge filter, so let the experts handle the maintenance!

Water Testing: Many pool owners think that if they are closing down a pool, there isn’t a need for water treatments, but this just isn’t true. During a pool opening, it is common for pools to have some remaining pool water leftover. If water is not completely drained, a shock treatment needs to be applied immediately, Draining water or lower water levels during a pool closing helps to prevent unnecessary damage to pipes and internal areas.
