A clean, working pool service can add tens of thousands of dollars to the value of your home. It’s also a fun place for friends and family to gather, but it only works well when it’s properly cleaned and maintained.
Professionals know which chemicals to treat your pool water to keep it sparkling clear. They understand how to use the right equipment and will inspect it to ensure it’s in good working condition. They can spot small problems, such as a leak, before they become major issues that cost you money to fix.
Pool chemicals, such as chlorine, bromine and cyanuric acid, must be stored out of reach of children and pets and used only under professional supervision. If left unattended, the wrong balance of these chemicals can harbor bacteria and cause health issues like eye infections, rashes and diarrhea in swimmers.
Keeping Your Oasis Sparkling: The Importance of Pool Service
A pool pump is essential to the proper function of your pool. It circulates the water and helps remove dirt and debris before it enters your filtration system. Professionals will regularly inspect the pump, including the intake and return valves, to make sure it’s functioning properly.
The skimmer box and the walls, floor and steps of your pool need to be brushed one or two times a week to free them from algae spores and grime that can form scales and algae blooms. This prevents them from building up and becoming a hazard to your swimmers’ safety and also helps the filtration process run smoothly.
