Maintaining your pool throughout the year ensures safety, extends its lifespan, and keeps the water pristine for swimmers. Below, we've broken down seasonal maintenance tips to simplify your routine and highlight when to call in professional help.

1. Spring Pool Maintenance

Spring is the time to get your pool ready for the upcoming season of use.

  • Clean thoroughly: Remove debris from the water and surfaces.
  • Balance chemicals: Test and adjust pH, alkalinity, and sanitizer levels to prevent algae growth.
  • Inspect equipment: Check for leaks or issues in your pump, filter, and skimmer.

2. Summer Pool Maintenance

Keep your pool safe and clear during peak swimming months:

  • Weekly cleaning: Skim debris, brush pool walls, and vacuum the floor.
  • Monitor water levels: Refill as needed to maintain optimal levels for circulation.
  • Chemical upkeep: Regularly test and balance chemicals to keep bacteria at bay.

3. Fall Pool Maintenance

As the season changes, start preparing for winter:

  • Remove debris: Clear fallen leaves and organic material to prevent algae growth.
  • Shock the water: Use a pool shock treatment to kill bacteria and algae before closing.
  • Cover securely: A quality pool cover protects the water from debris and weather.
