As the temperatures rise, so does the allure of a refreshing dip in the pool! To keep your pool in top shape throughout the summer, following some key maintenance tips is essential. The Walker Leader spoke with the experts at Aqua Xpress in Jasper for their best advice. Here are three tips to ensure your pool remains clean, safe, and enjoyable all season long.
1. Know Your Pool Components and How to Operate Your Pool
Understanding your pool’s various components and functions is fundamental to maintaining it properly. Familiarize yourself with the filtration system, pumps, and any automated cleaners you may have. Knowing how to operate these elements efficiently will help you troubleshoot any issues that arise and ensure your pool remains in optimal condition. Aqua Xpress recommends setting aside some time to review your pool’s manual or consult a professional if you have any questions about your setup.
2. Keep Your Pool Clean and Free of Debris
Regular cleaning prevents debris from accumulating and affecting your pool’s water quality. Skim the surface daily to remove leaves, bugs, and other debris. Additionally, vacuum the pool floor weekly and brush the walls and tiles to prevent algae buildup. By staying on top of these tasks, you’ll keep your pool looking pristine and extend the life of your pool equipment. Aqua Xpress offers routine cleaning services that can take this chore off your hands, ensuring a spotless pool without the hassle.
3. Keep Your Chemicals Balanced and Water Tested Weekly
Maintaining the proper chemical balance in your pool is crucial for safe and enjoyable swimming. Test your pool water at least once a week to monitor chlorine levels, pH, alkalinity, and other essential chemicals. Balancing these chemicals helps prevent cloudy water, skin irritation, and algae growth. Aqua Xpress provides professional water testing and chemical balancing services, making it easy to keep your pool water crystal clear and safe for swimmers.
