Pool Maintenance Tips from the Experts

You probably know how important pool maintenance is, but you do not if what you are doing is right. To make sure that your swimming pool remains safe to use and very attractive for parties or for your guests, you should let experts like Professional Aquatic Services take care of your pool. But if you just want to learn about what methods should be done right for the benefit of keeping your pool in great condition, allow our pool service company to guide you with these helpful tips:

1. Do routine skimming and scrubbing.

Removing the leaves and debris from your pool should be a part of your routine pool cleaning. It seems very simple, but it is a basic means to clean your pool and prevent dirt from building up in your pool equipment. Note that skimming should be done on a daily basis. Scrubbing on the one hand will prevent algae from building up. You can do this every other week so it should not be that hard. When you see some stubborn spots, just use chlorine, let it sit for a few hours, then do the needed scrubbing.

2. Take care of the pool filter.

The pool filter is a very crucial piece of pool equipment. Treat it like the kidneys of the pool because it is responsible for removing the water’s impurities. You can clean the swimming pool using the pool filter. Just turn the filter off, remove its cap to lift the basket out, then take out the debris from it. Do this once every week. Related to the first item, you can help your pool filter do its job by regularly skimming. Another point is to make sure that the filter runs 6 hours each day. Put it on a timer so keep track of it. 

3. Proper balancing of chemicals.

When the chemicals are not properly balanced, the water can irritate the skin or the eyes, it can look murky, and worse, it can become a breeding ground for bacteria. You do not like that for yourself and much more for your kids. Test it once each week to make sure that you maintain the right balance. There are testing kits you can use for this purpose. After learning about the results, you can adjust the pool’s chemical balance to the ideal balance. After doing this, you will observe that your pool water has no scent, clear, and only leaves a slight residue on your skin. 

4. Hiring a professional pool maintenance provider.
