What pool equipment do you need when you become a pool owner? Whether you’re going to work with a swimming pool service contractor in Scottsdale, Arizona who will take care of the pool maintenance and upkeep fo you, there are still pieces of pool equipment you should have on hand because you will want to keep up with light pool maintenance between service visits.
What pool equipment do you need?
Here are pieces of pool equipment to consider and to invest in:
- A pool skimmer and pool brush are a must. A couple of times a week, between service visits to loosen up any bacteria from the walls and floor. Skimming off floating debris should be done before organic material falls to the bottom of the pool. Ask us what the best type of brushes you should use for your specific pool.
- A telescoping pool is an ideal piece of safety equipment to have on hand. The pole adjusts to varying lengths and you can attach different pieces of pool cleaning accessories to it. The skimmer net — which is one of the most often used pieces of pool equipment — will attach to the telescoping pole. A leaf rake will also attach to the pole and you will use it to scoop debris from the bottom of the pool.
- A water testing kit could be your best friend. Test the weater between service visits to assure the chemicals are in balance. If not, add new chemicals or call us for an additional service visit.
- Vacuuming your pool between service visits will assure the pool water is always ready for swimming. Ask us about investing in an automatic or robotic pool cleaner.
If you’re new to pool ownership and aren’t quite certain what type of pool equipment you should have, this is a good start to knowing what you should buy. If you don’t have pool safety equipment like a life ring with rope and life vests you will want to invest in those as well.
