Want to make sure your pool is clean, safe, and beautiful every time you’re ready to go for a swim? Weather, animals, and regular use can affect the cleanliness of your pool as well as its sanitation and beauty. With proper cleaning and maintenance, you can make sure your pool is ready to use whenever you and your family want to dive in. Many homeowners in Arizona even use their pools year-round. Here are some tips for maintaining the safety, sanitation, and beauty of your pool so it is always ready to use.
Regularly Check Your Pool Chemistry
You should check your pool chemistry every week during the swimming season. You also need to test your pool water when you open your pool for the swimming season, after periods of heavy use, and after big storms.
Shock Your Pool When Needed
Your pool may need to be occasionally shocked when the water gets very dirty or contaminated. This could happen after a big storm, heavy use, or if wildlife or pets have been using the pool. It’s best to shock your pool at night and then run your pool pump for at least eight hours.
Keep Animals Out of the Pool
When possible, you should keep your pets out of your pool. If you do allow dogs in your pool, you should check the pool chemistry more often and schedule pool cleanings more frequently. You should also use a pool cover to keep wildlife out of your pool, both for their own safety and to protect your pool from harmful contaminants, bacteria, and viruses.
Skim and Clean Regularly
Before you swim, you should skim your pool to remove debris, dirt, and dead bugs. You should also skim after big storms or if you see debris in the pool. Always check your pool filters, pump, vacuum to make sure they are functioning properly. If you notice a big buildup of debris, it could indicate that the filter is clogged, or the vacuum is broken.
Schedule Pool Check-Ups and Safety Inspections
Something many pool owners overlook is annual or seasonal pool check-ups and safety inspections. Your pool maintenance company should inspect your pool’s equipment, accessories, walls, floors, liner, and other elements to make sure there is no damage and that they are all safe and functioning properly. They should also look for health and safety issues that could put swimmers in danger, like damaged pool fencing, dangerous surfaces, missing safety equipment, and broken steps or ladders.
