No matter what season it is, a pool needs care year round. Keeping the water crystal clear and the filter running smoothly can ensure that a pool will be ready for use during the regular swimming season. All swimming pools in Long Island NY require maintenance to keep them in top shape, including regular pool cleanings, winterizing for non-use times and repair service for any problems that may arise.
Cleaning Services
Sparkling clear water is the sign of a clean pool. While that seems simple enough, keeping the water balanced can sometimes be challenging. Pool cleaning should be taken care of as often as the pool needs it done, or at least once a week. During a cleaning, debris should be removed from the water and the skimmer, walls should be brushed, the pool should be vacuumed, the filter should be checked and back-washed, and the water should be tested for a proper balance of chemicals and shocked if it’s too cloudy or green.
Winterizing
Most pools go through a period of time when it’s just too cold to swim in them. During this time, one can save energy by closing the pool up for the winter. Winterizing a pool should include cleaning it out, putting in the proper chemicals to retain water clarity during non-use, drain the pool so that the water is below the skimmer level, clear all water from the plumbing lines and plug them to prevent breakage and place a cover over the surface and secure it in place.
Repairs
Swimming Pools in Long Island NY may require additional services from time-to-time. If the pool filter quits working or makes any unusual noises, it should be checked out by a pool service technician. The filter is responsible for ensuring that the water remains clear, so if it’s not working properly the water can rapidly go from clear to green. If a water leak is suspected, the plumbing lines and liner (if one is present) should be thoroughly examined to locate and repair the problem.
A pool offers a fun way to relax or exercise at home. Maintaining a pool and keeping up with its needs will keep it usable at all times. For more information regarding pool care and services, please browse our website.
