Having a pool is a beautiful thing, however, properly maintaining your pool is absolutely essential in order for you, your family, and your guests to enjoy it. In fact, maintaining your pool is a year round task, however, the enjoyment you’ll receive from taking care of your pool is well worth it.
Although the long, hot, summer days are still a few months away, now is the perfect time to get a head start on your summer pool maintenance. For example, now is a great time to stock up on swimming pool products such as sand filters for pools, pool cleaning supplies, and pool cleaning equipment. When summer does arrive, retailers often run of their stock of these essential products.
While you’re stocking up on products, you may also want to consider a pool automation system to help with the maintenance of your pool. Pool automation can be described as the process of automatically keeping track of and adjusting the sanitizer and pH levels in order to maintain clean, safe, and high quality water levels at all times. Pool automation systems have several benefits such as convenience, improved safety, and reduced costs of pool chemicals and repairs, all of which allows you to enjoy your pool wit much less hassle.
However, in the event you don’t have a pool automation system, the best and easiest way to maintain your pool is you tackle its maintenance step by step. You’ll find it much easier to maintain if you consistently stay on top of its maintenance. For example, your pool’s water should be checked at least once per week during the winter, and up to three times per week during peak season in the summer.
In most climates, your pool can turn green in as little as two to three weeks without proper maintenance. Failure to take of your pool can cut it’s life span in half. That’s a whole lot of money — and water — down the drain!
