SwimRight Pool contractors, serving Scottsdale, AZ answer, ‘Why should I hire a pool contractor?’
Did you just move into a house that came with a swimming pool? Did you and your family make a decision to have a new swimming pool constructed? Once the project is done you may wonder, “why should I hire a pool contractor? I can do the work myself, right?” Of course you can, the swimming pool service contractors from SwimRight Pools in Scottsdale, AZ say. Many people successfully care for their own pools year-round. Other pool owners, though want to leave the sometimes confusing pool maintenance tasks to a swimming pool service professional.
“Who’s going to keep the swimming pool operational and the water clean?” is a question many pool owners forget to consider when they’re in the midst of the excitement of having their own swimming pools. In most cases it’s the adult in the house who is nagging the kids to get out and skim the pool or vacuum it. Adding chemicals and testing the water is left to the adults. But if someone skips their part of the equation, the water chemistry can get out of line, dirt and debris will build up and you’ll be looking at algae-filled water. Yuck!
In addition to regular swimming pool cleaning, a pool service contractor will inspect the pool and the equipment to assure there are no hidden dangers or leaks. Understanding how to properly balance pool chemicals is a task that takes years to perfect and to understand the nuances of what could lead to water chemistry being out of balance. Many pool owners find they spend more money in chemicals than they would if they worked with an experienced swimming pool service contractor.
Why should I hire a pool contractor, and ways to keep the pool clean and in tip top shape
- Use a pool cover. The cover is a necessity, not an accessory. A cover reduces maintenance time and cost. A cover prevents water evaporation and that saves money in having to refill the pool and to continually adding chemicals to the water. A safety cover is an additional layer of protection to keep children and pets safe.
- Check pool pump pressure. When the pool filter is cleaned he will make note of the operating pressure of the filter. This help him know when it’s time for a filter cleaning when the pressure drops.
- Your pool contractor will thoroughly clean and vacuum your pool during a service visit. You may want to clean between service visits. Using a cover will help cut down on that task.
- If you add chemicals between service visits, add them in small amounts. It’s easier to add more than to take them away if you add too much.
When we pay a service visit we can let you know what tasks it makes sense for you to do between our service visits. What you do between visits will cut down on the time (and money) we spend at your home and what you pay for service.
