Pool maintenance

 

You can hire a pool maintenance company to monitor your pool water so it’s clean and healthy for swimming, but much of the work can be done by yourself.

Water maintenance

Pool water should be clean enough that you can clearly see a coin sitting on the bottom of the pool. It should be free of cloudiness, organic matter and bacteria. Pool water evaporates and in the process, a chemical change occurs. When you add water to bring the water level up to meet the skimmers for filtering, another change occurs in the balance of chemicals. You need to consistently monitor the pH levels to keep up with these chemical changes. Maintaining a proper pH in your pool helps avoid things like stinging eyes and aids sanitizers that help to keep the water clean.
