SwimRight Pools, serving Scottsdale, Arizona explain pool maintenance
Once your pool has been installed, you may find that you will want to hire a swimming pool service contractor in Scottsdale, Arizona to make sure the pool is clean and clear at all times. Hiring a pool contractor means you will be able to spend more time in the pool and not working on it. Many pool owners find, too, that it costs them less money to hire a pool professional than it would to clean it themselves.
Ask your pool contractor what pool cleaning tasks you can automate to make your between-visit cleaning tasks easier. Once the “pool guy” has performed his tasks the pool owner can simply enjoy the pool, worry free, except for light cleaning between visits. Here are some of those between-visit tasks you may want to keep up with:
- Keeping the water clean is one of the most important items because you don’t want swimmers to contract any water borne diseases. Unclean water can be the cause of burning eyes and noses. If you can smell chlorine and if it irritates the eyes, the levels need to be adjusted. Chlorine neutralises the urine and saliva and other bacteria that swimmers bring into the pool with them.
- Cleaning the sides and bottom ensures that algae and moss don’t grow.
- Run the pump between service visits; using a variable speed pump is economically viable and saves money. A filter is used after the water pump is used to take out the hair and other particles present in the pool.
- Water splashed out of the pool runs into the clean-out gutters rather than into the yard and the drainage holes need to be cleaned and checked regularly.
- Chemicals should be added to the swimming pool until the sun goes down and when everyone is done swimming for the day. This helps prevent the chemicals from burning off during the hot sunlight and also allows the pool to be used all day long.
Ask your pool contractor for advice on how to clean the pool between visits.
