How We Maintain a Pool Every Week
The Whole Pool Maintaining Process.
The first thing we do is scan and check the pool to see if there is any dead animals or algae or anything unusual in the pool.
We then fetch for our test kit because using the correct pool cleaning accessories is essential to check the total chlorine and the PH levels.
If the pool that we are servicing happens to be a saltwater pool, then we will test the saltwater levels, in the beginning, to make sure it matches the desired levels needed for your pools specific brand.
After we are done doing the chemical testing for the pool, we then move on to check all the equipment and clean the baskets.
So first, we inspect the pump basket for any wears and tears (usually they happen in the back of the basket) and the rubber o-ring that seals the basket on top, then we clean it thoroughly and get rid of any debris and leaves that get caught up inside of it. Once done, we fill it up full of water and close the lid back again.
Another thing we look out for which most pool-owners dismiss is to check the timer and make sure that it is set correctly and that it is functioning properly.
If your swimming or fountain pool has a salt cell, we will make sure to check and clean it as required.
Our pool man will check for any leaks that might be coming from the equipment and test the motors to make sure it is working fine. Some of the other standard routines that we do include emptying the skimmer basket, which we normally do while the pump is working to pick up any leftover debris and leaves, and checking the chlorinator. Once all the above checks are done the pool man will be ready to clean the pool.
Before we begin to skim the pool, we will spray some diluted tile soap on top which would help take the glare out of the pool and clump all the debris together. Once done, the pool man will proceed with skimming the pool a couple of times around the pool. After skimming, the pool man will see if the pool needs to be vacuumed or just skim at the floor of the pool. He then proceeds with the tile cleaning using a specially designed scrub. Once that is done, then comes the vacuuming to make sure all the tiny little dirt will be removed from the tiles.
PRO TIP: We highly recommend for pool owners who wish to perform the cleaning themselves to purchase high-quality pool equipment, for it will make the job much easier for you.
We use a power rack to suck out all the debris off the floor of the pool, and right after we are done the vacuuming, we brush the floor of the pool using a specialized pool brush. The brushing procedure will make sure to prevent any algae growing in the pool. Once through, we then skim through the pool for the last time.
And in the last step, we respond to the chemical testing we would have done in the beginning. If the chlorine level tested low, we would then add chlorine to balance the required amount, and if the Ph level was low then we'll add some muriatic acid and if it was too high we'll add some Borax. And if the Alkalinity levels were low as well, we would then add some baking soda or alike to bring it back up to its desired level.Then, depending on the availability and price, we would either add a chlorine tablet or simply pour liquid chlorine into the water.
PRO TIP: When pouring the liquid chlorine, make sure to always wear a glove and pour the acid onto the pool while walking away so that it won't generate too many harmful fumes as it hits the water.
Lastly, we take another look into the pool to make sure there aren't any algae left behind or else we would treat it right away before it spurs growth.
And voila! There you have it. Our full weekly-pool-cleaning process which you can utilize yourself. Just be sure to use a good quality pool cleaning kit and use it with caution and remember to always consult a professional or call us up when unsure about anything or if you'd like to know more about the pool cleaning costs.
