Services included in your swimming pool maintenance contract
Brush sediment from pool walls
Algae and small bits of debris can gather on the walls of your pool, as well as pool fixtures like ladders and slides.
Removal of leaves from the pool
This should ideally be done daily, because once they sink to the bottom of the pool it becomes difficult to remove and may create stains.
Vacuuming the pool
Regular weekly vacuuming is necessary to keep your pool shining. Vacuuming is necessary because chemicals, dirt, and debris sink to the bottom of the pool. It also helps reduce the quantity of chemicals that need to be used to sanitize the pool.
Pool pump and weir basket cleaning
Maintaining the overall health of your swimming pool requires cleaning the skimmer and pump baskets. If the baskets are blocked, the pump will have to work harder to try and cycle water. This may shorten your pump's lifespan.
Backwashing and rinsing
Pool experts suggest backwashing and rinsing happen at least once weekly. Small debris like leaves, insects etc. fall into the water and get caught in the compact sand in the filtration system. The filter will become clogged and no longer be able to filtrate the water effectively.
Weekly testing of pool acid levels and correcting
These chemicals for swimming pools include several types of sanitizers and disinfectants that function to prevent specific types of bacteria and algae from growing in the water. Frequent shock treatments remove any remaining organic matter, germs, algae, and dirt from the pool's water.
Advantages of hiring a swimming pool maintenance Pro
Save time
A normal pool in South Africa needs to be cleaned for 30 to 60 minutes every week, depending on how much detritus (leaves, grime, and bugs) is in the pool. The fact that a pool specialist will have chemicals on hand means you won't need to make frequent excursions to the shop or spend hours researching the perfect chemical for your pool online, which saves even more time.
Save on repairs
Maintenance is in all situations cheaper than repair. It can be difficult to quantify the savings without a breakdown, but if you have ever experienced equipment failure that was linked to an improper water balance you will appreciate this: many companies will void warranties if they find corrosion due to improper water balance. From equipment replacement to liner changes, what you can potentially damage is most likely painful and expensive. Employing a pool professional will safeguard your pool from accidents and prolong the life of your pool.
Save on chemicals
You will no longer have to spend on chlorine, acid, algaecide, and other chemicals – your swimming pool maintenance Pro will manage that as part of their monthly contract.
