Care and Maintnenance
We have already addressed in our section Pool and Spa Cleaning some of the reasons you will want to keep your pool and spa clean, but…
…what should a weekly pool maintenance visit involve?
…and what should you watch out for?
A weekly pool maintenance inspection should begin with a check of the pools chemical balance. Only after these readings have been taken should a rectification of any misbalance be completed (always beware of anyone who adds chemicals to your pool without first testing the pool water).
Only once these reading have been taken should a measured amount of the right chemical be added to ensure the correct and healthy balance is maintained for the rest of the week (anyone can simply “slosh in” some chlorine!)
Your pool should be thoroughly swept and debris removed from the surface of the water as well as the bottom of the pool (see our section on Pool & Spa Cleaning for effects of debris), a pool-vacuum should be used if needed to remove this. Ensure the sides, ledges and steps are swept as well as the bottom of the pool (beware of the guy who simply fishes out leaves with a net and never sweeps the surfaces).
Your skimmer and pump baskets should be checked and emptied every week, this will show if the skimmer and pump are working properly and as efficiently as possible, and also may give “warning” signs to indicate that the filter needs extra attention…heading off potentially expensive repairs later on (look for the lazy guy who doesn’t pay attention to these small jobs – but hits you with the expensive jobs later on)
The pools filter should be checked every week and cleaned accordingly; this filter is the key to maintaining your pools cleanliness and hygiene (see section on Pool & Spa Cleaning). Remember that many factors effect the lifespan of a pool filter – the number of people using your pool, the frequency your pool is used, the time of year (sun screen is a major “clogging agent”). Having said that, if anyone tells you that you need a new filter – make sure they have tried all ways to clean the one you have first.
The pool pump, equipment and pipe work should be monitored to look for wear and tear, plus potential or actual faults, without this check in place, small and often inexpensive replacements can soon become the source of major and expensive equipment repairs….expensive for you the pools owner!
