With pool opening season just around the corner, now’s the time to think about how you’re going to handle your pool maintenance this year. Do you want to hire a pool service to handle regular pool maintenance or do it yourself? However, no matter how you handle it, it’s important to make sure it gets done.
Why? Here are seven benefits that you can get by investing in regular pool maintenance.
You got your pool to be able to enjoy it. If you don’t perform regular maintenance on your pool, there’s a good chance that you won’t be able to use your pool when you want to. Instead, you’ll have to test it, then treat it, then test again, and maybe repeat the process several times before the pool is in condition. By the time you finally get the pool ready, either you or your family may no longer want to use it.
While this procedure is okay for planned pool parties, if you want to be able to enjoy your pool spontaneously, performing regular maintenance is the best approach.
Probably the most visible problem with neglecting pool maintenance is the pool turning green and murky. This visible pool problem can cause people to talk about your pool as being disgusting. This won’t be just your neighbors, it will be people in your house, and it may even be you.
Even having your pool turn green occasionally can affect your feelings about your pool all the time.
When your pool chemistry gets badly out of balance, including when you have high algae levels, you have to rely on harsh chemicals to get it back in balance. Performing regular pool maintenance will keep your pool balanced using relatively mild treatments. You’ll only have to use the more serious chemicals when opening your pool for the season.
A lack of pool maintenance can cause it to degrade over time. This will make it less of an asset to your property. It can even make your pool a liability. If your pool regularly develops algae, for example, the pool liner can get stained, making it unattractive. Performing regular pool maintenance helps protect the investment you’ve made in your pool.
Dirt, debris, algae, and other products of poor pool maintenance don’t just make your pool look unattractive, they can also damage the pool’s components. This can lead to expensive pool repairs to components like pumps, heaters, and vacuums.
In addition, the cycle of letting the pool water get out of condition and then shocking it into condition can be hard on your pool liner. Poor pool maintenance can mean replacing your pool liner twice, even four times as often.
You should feel happy and relaxed when thinking of your pool. However, if your pool isn’t well maintained, you might have different feelings when you think about your pool. First, you might feel guilty that you haven’t done the maintenance in a while. Second, you might be worried that you’re going to have to actually do pool maintenance soon. Finally, you might feel anxious about the cost of potential repairs because you aren’t performing pool maintenance as you should.
Your pool should be a source of joy, and regular maintenance can keep it that way.
One of the main reasons why people don’t like performing their regular pool maintenance is that they don’t like the time it takes. However, it actually saves you time to perform your pool maintenance regularly. If you perform your pool maintenance on a good schedule, it doesn’t take long at all, just a few minutes. On the other hand, neglected pool maintenance can make for a very challenging task when you do get around to it. Cleaning all the built-up debris, trying to balance the chemicals, scrubbing algae residue—these make pool maintenance a chore, but you can avoid them if you perform regular pool maintenance.
