Basic Tips for a Healthy Pool

Hey there fellow pool enthusiasts. As a pool company, we know that maintaining a pool can sometimes be a headache. Pools can come with unexpected costs, they can leak, things can break… it can be a struggle.

And while these things are certainly realities of the life of a pool owner, we also want to remind you this:

These realities are the reasons we exist! We’re here for you. Your struggle is our struggle, your burden is our burden, and you are our focus.

So, how can we help with that? Aside from cleaning pools and being in your backyard, we can teach our customers and fellow pool owners the best ways to maintain their long term investment.. As Benjamin Franklin said:

‘Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember. Involve me and I learn.’

So let’s do just that. Let’s learn together about the various ways you can enjoy your backyard investment for many summers to come.

First things first - consider getting on a regular pool cleaning schedule with a professional pool company. We know, this may seem self-serving after we just told you how we’re going to teach you, but it’s the truth. And your options aren’t limited to just us.

A good pool professional will be able to help you understand things like Leaks, Equipment, Tile, Chemicals, Tree Fall, and SO much more. All of these things work together to form a cohesive and holistically healthy pool. Just like the human body, a pool can be in bad shape if just one of its parts is out-of-sync.

This is something we’ll always stress, because the more often your pool is cleaned, the less work you’ll have in the long run. And having a professional in your backyard with an eye on the situation helps immensely, because it can save you from unexpected repairs and keep thousands of dollars in your pocket over time.

Next, consider getting yourself an automatic pool cleaner. These little guys are a game-changer. Not only do they save you time and energy, but they'll also help prolong the life of your pool's filtration system by cleaning the bottom and walls of the pool, removing dirt and debris that would otherwise clog up the system.

Lastly, you can invest in a good pool cover. Not only will it keep out leaves and other debris, but it'll also help reduce evaporation and keep the water warmer, which means you won't have to run your heater as often (or when you’re heating up your spa in colder months) .

During the the times you’re not using your pool, having a pool cover is a huge plus because it will reduce the amount of brushing needed and oftentimes reduce the amount of chemicals required. (Plus, it's an added layer of protection for your little ones and furry friends!)

All-in-all, there’s always more to be said, but we hope these tips help you save some money while still keeping your pool in tip-top shape. And remember, if you ever have any questions or concerns, don't hesitate to give us a call. We're always here to help!
