Keep Your Pool Sparkling All Season Long!
As the heat of summer ramps up, your pool becomes the coolest spot in the neighborhood—literally! But to keep it the envy of all your friends, a little maintenance magic is needed. At Y.E.S. Contractors, we've got the inside scoop on how to keep your pool sparkling and ready for endless fun all season long. So grab your swimsuit and let's dive into some pool maintenance tips that'll make your backyard the ultimate summer swimming destination!
First things first: water chemistry. Testing your pool's pH, chlorine levels, and other funky stuff might sound like science class all over again, but trust us—it's worth it! Aim to test your water at least once a week, and adjust as needed to keep it balanced and crystal clear. Speaking of crystal clear, don't forget to give your pool a good skimming and scrubbing session! Aim for a skim-a-day to keep the leaves and bugs at bay, and a weekly scrub-down to keep algae from crashing your pool party. (Pro tip: The pH level of your tears is 7.5. If you keep your pool pH level between 7.4-7.6 you should avoid any eye irritation.)
Now, let's talk about filtration and circulation. Your pool's filter is like the MVP of pool maintenance, so treat it right! Backwash or clean your filter regularly—think once a month or so—to keep it working its magic. And when it comes to pump power, give it a workout! Aim to run your pump for about 8 hours a day to keep the water circulating and your pool looking fresh as a daisy.
But what about those mysterious pool noises? If your pool equipment starts sounding like a DJ at a rave, it might be time to call in the pros. Strange noises could mean trouble brewing, so keep your ears peeled and don't hesitate to give us a shout if things start sounding fishy.
Last but not least, don't forget about your pool deck! A clean and well-maintained deck not only looks snazzy but also keeps your pool area safe and stylish. So grab a scrub brush and get to work—your feet will thank you
With these tips and tricks up your sleeve, you'll be the master of pool maintenance in no time. So go ahead, dive in, and make a splash this summer with Y.E.S. Contractors!
