How to hire a commercial swimming pool contractor
What are the benefits of hiring a commercial pool pro?
- They are well-experienced in the nuances of cleaning and servicing a commercial pool. They understand pool chemistry and know what chemicals to add to keep the water free of bacteria and safe for swimming.
- He or she will bring the supplies with them — or the commercial entity can purchase the supplies and cleaning equipment for the pool contractor’s use.
- The contractor will give the pool a deep clean — brushing the walls and floors and behind the stairs and steps to remove all bacteria. He will then vacuum all the debris away.
- The water chemistry will be checked — as mentioned above. The pool service contractor will have a high level water test kit that will measure all the chemistry and he will add the necessary chemicals to bring them all into balance. Too much chlorine will lead to burning eyes and dry skin and can damage the equipment. Too little chlorine will lead to bacteria growth and could sicken the swimmers.
- The pool pump and filter and skimmer baskets will be cleaned, checked and replaced if and when necessary.
