Dive into Summer: Pool Maintenance Tips
As the summer sun climbs higher in the sky, it's time to ensure your aquatic oasis is in prime condition for endless days of fun and relaxation. Our team at Evanly Pools is here to provide you with some tips to keep your pool sparkling all year long.
1. Monitor Water Levels: With warmer temperatures and increased usage, your pool's water level can fluctuate more rapidly. Check your water levels regularly and top up as needed to ensure proper circulation and filtration.
2. Balance Chemicals: Proper water chemistry is crucial for swimmer comfort and pool longevity. Test your water at least once a week and adjust chemical levels as necessary to maintain a balanced pH, alkalinity, and sanitizer levels.
3. Clean Skimmer Baskets: Summer brings with it an abundance of falling debris from nearby trees and plants. Keep your pool's skimmer baskets clean and clear of leaves, twigs, and other debris to prevent clogs and maintain efficient water circulation.
4. Brush and Vacuum: Give your pool a thorough brushing and vacuuming to remove any dirt, algae, or debris clinging to the walls and floor. Pay special attention to corners, steps, and other hard-to-reach areas where debris can accumulate.
5. Check Equipment: Take a moment to inspect your pool equipment, including pumps, filters, and heaters, for any signs of wear or malfunction. Addressing issues promptly can prevent costly repairs down the line and ensure your pool operates smoothly all summer.
6. Maintain Proper Filtration: Your pool's filter works tirelessly to remove impurities from the water, so be sure to clean or backwash it according to the manufacturer's recommendations. A clean filter is essential for maintaining water clarity and quality.
7. Monitor Water Temperature: As temperatures rise, so too does the temperature of your pool water. Keep an eye on your pool's temperature and consider investing in a pool heater or cooler to maintain optimal swimming conditions.
8. Implement Safety Measures: With more people enjoying your pool during the summer months, safety should always be a top priority. Ensure that safety equipment such as life rings, buoys, and first aid kits are easily accessible, and remind swimmers of pool rules and guidelines.
9. Schedule Professional Maintenance: Regular professional maintenance is key to keeping your pool in top condition year-round. Schedule a service appointment with Evanly Pools to have our expert technicians perform a comprehensive inspection and maintenance checkup weekly.
With these tips in your arsenal, you'll be well-equipped to enjoy a summer filled with endless aquatic adventures. If you have any questions or need assistance with your pool maintenance needs, don't hesitate to reach out to the team at Evanly Pools (Call 415-827-0062).
