Many homeowners assume pool maintenance simply involves vacuuming the pool and adding chlorine. In reality, proper swimming pool care requires attention to several important areas that work together to maintain clean, balanced water.

Professional weekly maintenance generally focuses on four essential components: cleaning, water chemistry, equipment operation, and preventative maintenance.

1. Pool Cleaning

• Regular cleaning removes dirt, leaves, insects, and other debris that accumulate throughout the week. This commonly involves skimming the water's surface, brushing walls and steps, vacuuming the floor, and emptying skimmer and pump baskets.

2. Water Testing and Chemical Balancing

• Maintaining proper chemical levels is essential for water quality and swimmer comfort. Pool professionals test chlorine, pH, CYA, and other important water chemistry levels, making adjustments when necessary.

3. Equipment Inspection

• The pump, filter, heater, and other pool equipment all contribute to proper water circulation. Routine inspections can help identify performance issues, leaks, unusual noises, or other potential problems before they become more serious.

4. Preventive Maintenance

• A consistent maintenance schedule helps reduce the likelihood of algae growth, cloudy water, scaling, and premature equipment wear.

All of our Maintenance plans include these four main components. Filter deep cleaning, equipment repairs, specialty chemical treatments, and seasonal openings or closings are not included in regular maintenance and may be billed separately.
