Keeping Your Pool Clean Between The Pool Service Palm Springs Visits

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 season, it is common to find dried leaves and sticks from deciduous plants surrounding the pool. There are also insects that fall and float on the surface. Skim the debris using as skimming bucket. You can buy one from the stores or attach a net to a long handle. If debris is not skimmed, it eventually sinks and becomes hard to remove.

Drain the water every fourteen or so days and vacuum the floor. The sides should also be scrubbed to rid of calcium deposits and algae that grow on the sides. Scrub the sides by use of hard bristles. However, if the walls are made of fiberglass, use soft bristles to prevent damage by scratching the surface.

Before refilling the pool, ensure that you have checked the filter. Lots of debris and sand is blocked at the filter. If the dirt is not removed, the dirt accumulates and eventually blocks the entry. You may have the filter cleaned or replaced by professional cleaning companies when they visit if you are not able to do so on your own.

If you have installed a heating system, have a technician check the accumulation of the calcium deposits on the tubing system. Over time, the deposits narrow the tubing and make the machine to worker harder when it comes to heating. Moreover, the heat pump should be removed during the winter period to prevent damage from ice. Ice bursts pipes and damages other components of the heating system.

Human body excretes ammonia through the skin. It combines with nitrogen to make chlorine. The gas has a pungent smell, which is offensive to the users. Fortunately, you can get rid of the smell by adding super chlorinate to the water. It works by raising chlorine levels and thus putting down foul smells.

Ideally, the water should have a pH that is not lower than 7 and higher than 8. If the pH is too low, the there is too much acidity and can be corrected by the use of the alkaline solution. If the pH is too high, the water is too alkaline and can be corrected by the use of an acidic solution.

All swimmers should bathe before swimming. This reduces the amount of waste that is left in the water after swimming. A well-maintained pool is easier to clean and is healthy to swim in it. Good maintenance practices also keep the amenity in use until the next visit by the professional teams. Ensure that you pick a team that has a reputation is doing a great service.
