What An Atlanta Pool Service Should Provide

Top 10 List For A Hassle-Free Pool

1) Weekly pool service and mainteance. A weekly pool service contract ensures your pool is well maintained without you spending more time worrying about it.

2) Install a time clock or control system: To insure proper filtration to clean the water in the pool circulates chemicals consistently every day.

3) Check chemicals: The chemicals should be checked on a weekly basis will make sure the pool is always properly balanced, avoiding any problems with algae and deterioration of the pool surface (liner or plaster) and therefore prolonging its life (and also prolonging the life of your pool equipment).

4) Skimmer and pump baskets: The skimmer and pump baskets should be kept clean to ensure the pump has good water flow.  A clogged pump can get hot and damage the pump seals, and even cause the pump to fail.

5) Filter maintenance: A clean filter is necessary for a clean pool.  A dirty filter will not allow the circulation needed to distribute the chemicals throughout the pool.  For good chemical distribution, the pool water needs to be turned over a number of times per day.

6) Vacuum: Vacuuming the pool removes dirt which can impact the pH and alkalinity of the pool.

7) Clean surroundings:  Keeping the surrounding pool deck clean and free of leaves and debris that can blow into the pool reduces maintenance and helps maintain the proper pool chemistry.

8) Pumps: The pumps should be regularly checked for leaks.  Finding a leak early can prevent more expensive problems with the pump seals, motor and impeller and will prolong the life of the pump.

9) Water level: The water level must be maintained and water added as necessary.  Proper water level is important for proper water circulation.  This will help the skimmer to work properly and ensure the pump has enough water in the intake.

10) Valves: A pool service should check the valves on the pool to be sure there are no restrictions or leaks.  Properly functioning valves helps the filtration system work more effectively.
