How To Maintain Your Pool Through Pool Service Palm Springs

By Gregory Bell


No sooner has the cleaning teams have left the pool starts getting dirt again. Unfortunately, most wait for the next visit by the professional cleaners to have the cleaning done again. However, some few cleaning techniques may help maintain the water clean, clear and smelling fresh. Here is what to do before the next visit by the pool service Palm Springs contractors in your home.

During the fall, many sticks and leaves will fall all over your compound and into your pool. There will also be small insects that fall in the water surface. Skim away the floating debris by the use of a skimming bucket. You can make one by use of a net that has been attached to a long stick. If the floating debris is not removed, it will eventually sink and become harder to remove.

After every fortnight, it is important to drain the water and vacuum the floor. You should also scrub the wall to remove any algae and calcium that may be forming on the surfaces. When scrubbing a fiberglass wall, use a brush with soft bristles and do it gently. Vigorous scrubbing may scratch the surface and damage the material.

On emptying the pool, ensure that the filter is checked before refilling. The filter blocks lots of debris and sediments. With time, the dirt accumulates and ultimately blocks the entry. Some filters can be cleaned while other types may require replacement. Have the professional cleaners handle the replacement if you find it hard to replace the filter.

If you have heating equipment, check if there is any accumulation of calcium in the tubing and piping to the pipe. The deposits narrow the pipes and make the equipment to work harder in order to heat the water. The heating systems should be detached and kept away during the cold season to prevent the ice from damaging the equipment.

Human skin releases ammonia as a waste material. When swimming, ammonia that is excreted from the body reacts with nitrogen to produce chlorine gas. Chlorine gas is a pungent smelling gas that makes the swimming uncomfortable. To deal with the smell, you should add super-chlorinate chemical. This raises the levels of chlorine to suppress the pungent smell.

The ideal water pH is between 7 and 8. You may buy a pH meter from the household stores to check the pH. If the pH is more than 8, add an acidic solution to bring it to the right PH. Add an alkaline solution to water that is less than a pH of 7 to neutralize the acidity.

All swimmers should be clean before they start swimming. It helps maintain the amenity clean and fresh. A well-maintained pool also consumes fewer chemicals to keep it clean. Seek a professional team to handle professional maintenance. The chosen team should have competency in offering quality service. You may ask family and friends that have used such as service in the past. You may also check the internet for testimonial of some of the pool cleaning companies in the Palm Springs area.
