What Issues Can Regular Pool Maintenance Prevent?
Regular pool maintenance can prevent a few main issues, starting with biofilm. Biofilm develops when bacteria or algae colonize and form a protective matrix, making them resistant to normal chlorine levels. Consistent brushing, proper chlorine levels, and adequate filtration are necessary to prevent this.
Another preventable issue is scale formation, particularly calcium scale. When calcium hardness levels exceed 400 ppm or when pH levels rise above 7.8, calcium carbonate can form deposits on pool surfaces and equipment. Regular testing and adjustment of water chemistry can prevent these scales from forming.
When Should You Invest in Pool Services?
Keeping your swimming pool in top condition requires regular maintenance and timely servicing from our swimming pool contractors. That said, it can be hard to know when exactly you need to contact us.
You might already know that you need assistance today for one reason or another, but here are some early signs that can help you address potential issues before they become major problems:
- Visible algae growth: The appearance of algae makes the water green and cloudy and also signals the need for immediate treatment to prevent the problem from worsening.
- Bad odors and discoloration: Strong chlorine or chemical smells, as well as discolored water, can indicate imbalanced water chemistry.
- Unstable pH levels: Consistently high or low pH levels can lead to various problems, including skin and eye irritation for swimmers and damage to the pool's surfaces and equipment. Scheduling regular water testing and balancing can prevent these issues.
- Stains and scale build-up: Stains on the pool walls or floor and scale build-up along the waterline indicate the need for an acid wash or specialized cleaning treatment.
How Do Professionals Maintain Adequate Pool Chlorine Levels?
Chlorine disinfects pool water, killing harmful microorganisms that can make it unsafe. Too little chlorine can lead to unsafe swimming conditions, while too much can cause skin and eye irritation. Essentially, balanced chlorine keeps your water comfortable and clear.
We determine the right amount of chlorine by regularly testing your pool’s water chemistry and measuring chlorine levels and pH. We typically aim to keep chlorine levels between one and three parts per million (ppm), adjusting the amount based on your pool’s size and usage.
How Long Does Pool Liner Last?
A high-quality pool liner will last up to 12 years on average, but proper maintenance is required to get the most out of it. Replacing it as needed is important for maintaining the barrier between the pool water and the structure and preventing leaks or tears that damage your pool shell.
Here are a few factors that can affect its lifespan:
- Chemical balance: Improper water chemistry can cause your liner to deteriorate prematurely.
- Quality of the liner: Higher-quality liners, often made from thicker vinyl, are more durable.
- Quality of installation: Properly installed liners (no bubbles) tend to last longer.
- Sun exposure: Some liners have UV protection, but constant exposure can sometimes cause fading.
Why Do Your Pool Jets Have Low Pressure?
Low pressure in your pool jets creates issues with your circulation and filtration system. The constant movement that your jets provide prevents stagnation, which can turn your pool green. We typically trace pressure issues back to blockages, but they can be caused by equipment malfunctions as well.
Here are a few other potential causes of low-pressure jets:
- Clogged skimmer or pump basket restricting water flow
- Dirty filter reducing water flow
- Air leak in the suction line compromising water flow from pipes or fittings
- Closed or partially closed valves limiting water circulation
- Worn pump impeller decreasing pumping efficiency
Do You Need To Drain Your Pool To Clean It?
Regular maintenance, such as proper filtration, chemical balancing, and cleaning, can typically keep your pool in good condition without the need for frequent draining. However, draining can sometimes help achieve a deeper clean, especially with hard-to-remove stains.
Draining can also allow for inspection and repairs that can't be done while it's filled. We can also provide acid washing without the need for draining. We like to avoid draining unless it’s required, as it wastes a significant amount of water.
What’s the Algae Removal Process?
There’s more to algae removal than just running our skimmers over the surface of the pool’s water. Our pool cleaning technicians deploy numerous cleaning and maintenance techniques to eliminate the algae—and to make sure it doesn’t return any time soon.
We start by identifying the type of algae and thoroughly brushing and vacuuming the pool to dislodge and remove it. After this, we’ll balance the water chemistry, shock the pool, and apply a specialized algaecide. We’ll then run the filtration system continuously until the water clears. This thorough step-by-step process keeps algae at bay in the months to come.
