Comprehensive Pool Cleaning Services

Our pool cleaning services are designed to keep your pool looking its best and functioning properly.

Swimming Pool Maintenance

Our comprehensive service includes regular cleaning tasks such as skimming the surface for debris, brushing the pool walls, vacuuming the pool floor, and maintaining the filtration system by emptying the skimmer and pump baskets. We also perform essential chemical tests and adjustments to balance the pool water’s pH levels and sanitize it with the right amount of chlorine and algaecide, preventing harmful bacteria and algae growth.

By adhering to a meticulous maintenance schedule, we ensure your pool stays clean, clear, and inviting, eliminating the hassles and worries of pool upkeep.

Our servicing encompasses advanced maintenance and repair solutions to address any issues promptly. Our skilled technicians are equipped to handle pool pump repairs, underwater tiling fixes, and complex tasks like green pool treatment, which restores murky, algae-infested water to a clean and hygienic state.

We also offer tailored maintenance plans to suit your specific needs, whether it’s a single visit for a quick clean or a comprehensive package for year-round care.

Owning a swimming pool requires ongoing maintenance to keep it clean and safe. Daily or weekly tasks include removing leaves, insects, and debris, as well as checking and adjusting chemical levels. Regular maintenance prevents issues such as algae growth and equipment failure, ensuring your pool remains a pleasant and safe environment. Encouraging swimmers to shower before entering the pool helps reduce the amount of oil, dirt, and sand that enters the water. Foot baths at pool entrances can also help keep contaminants out.

Regular maintenance also includes changing the sand in your filter every four years to prevent channelling, where water cuts permanent paths through dirty sand, reducing filtration efficiency. People have gone as long as seven years with the same sand with no noticeable effects, but it’s important to be aware of this phenomenon.

When channelling occurs, everything picked up by the pool vacuum cleaner is returned to the pool, not filtered. The solution is to change the sand, with costs varying depending on the filter size. This ensures the filtration system remains effective, keeping the water clean and safe.

Swimming Pool Servicing & Maintenance Tips

Maintaining a swimming pool requires regular attention to ensure it stays clean, safe, and inviting. Here are the top 10 tips for effective swimming pool maintenance and cleaning, expanded for a detailed understanding:

Top 10 Tips for Swimming Pool Maintenance and Cleaning

Skimming the pool surface daily is essential to remove floating debris such as leaves, insects, and dirt. This prevents debris from sinking to the bottom and decomposing, which can affect water clarity and balance. Using a long-handled net, make it a habit to skim the pool every morning. This simple task keeps your pool looking clean and reduces the workload on your filtration system, ultimately extending its lifespan.

Brushing the pool walls, steps, and tiles at least once a week helps remove dirt and prevent algae buildup, which can make surfaces slippery and unsafe. Use a brush suitable for your pool’s surface—nylon for vinyl or fiberglass, and stainless steel for concrete. Regularly vacuuming the pool floor, either manually or with an automatic pool cleaner, removes dirt and sediment that can accumulate over time. This thorough cleaning ensures that all areas of the pool are clean and free of contaminants.

The filtration system is crucial for keeping your pool water clean and clear. Clean the skimmer basket weekly to ensure it can effectively capture debris before it reaches the pump. Regularly backwash sand or DE filters when the pressure gauge indicates an increase of 8-10 psi above the normal operating level, which signifies that the filter is clogged with debris. For cartridge filters, remove and hose them down to clean out trapped dirt. Keeping the filtration system well-maintained ensures efficient water circulation and filtration, preventing cloudy water and algae growth.

Maintaining the correct chemical balance in your pool is vital for safe and healthy water. Test the pool water at least twice a week using a reliable testing kit to check levels of pH, chlorine, alkalinity, and calcium hardness. The pH level should be between 7.2 and 7.6 to ensure chlorine works effectively. Chlorine levels should be maintained between 1.0 and 3.0 ppm to sanitize the water. Proper chemical balance prevents skin and eye irritation, protects pool equipment from corrosion or scale buildup, and keeps the water clear and inviting.

Shocking the pool involves adding a large dose of chlorine to the water to break down contaminants and organic matter that regular chlorination might not fully eliminate. Do this weekly, especially after heavy pool use, rainstorms, or if the water appears cloudy. Shocking helps prevent algae growth, kills bacteria, and restores water clarity. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for the correct amount of shock treatment, and avoid swimming until chlorine levels return to the normal range.

Algae can quickly turn a sparkling pool into a green, murky mess. To prevent algae growth, use an algaecide weekly, especially during hot and sunny weather when algae thrive. If you notice algae starting to form, shock the pool and brush the affected areas thoroughly. Persistent algae problems may require a stronger treatment or professional intervention. Regular maintenance, including proper circulation, filtration, and chemical balance, is key to keeping algae at bay.

Maintaining the correct water level is important for the proper functioning of your pool equipment. The water level should be at the midpoint of the skimmer opening to ensure the skimmer can effectively remove debris. Low water levels can cause the pump to run dry, leading to damage, while high levels reduce the skimmer’s efficiency. Check and adjust the water level regularly, especially after heavy use or rainfall.

Regularly inspecting your pool equipment ensures everything is functioning properly and helps prevent costly repairs. Check the pool pump, filter, heater, and other components for signs of wear and tear. Listen for unusual noises, which can indicate a problem. Keep the pump and motor clean and free of debris to avoid overheating. Replace worn-out parts promptly to maintain optimal performance and extend the life of your equipment.

Encourage swimmers to shower before entering the pool to wash off oils, dirt, and personal care products. This reduces the amount of contaminants introduced into the water, helping to maintain water quality and reducing the demand on your pool’s chemicals. Provide a foot bath at the pool entrance to rinse off dirt and sand, further minimizing debris.

Using a pool cover is one of the simplest and most effective ways to keep your pool clean. A cover prevents leaves, dirt, and other debris from entering the pool, reducing the frequency of cleaning. It also helps retain heat, reduce water evaporation, and maintain chemical levels, making it an energy-efficient option. Choose a cover that fits securely and is easy to use to encourage consistent use.

Cleaning frequency depends on usage, but generally, you should skim the surface daily, brush the walls and tiles weekly, and vacuum the pool floor weekly. Regular cleaning prevents debris buildup, maintains water clarity, and prevents algae growth. Skimming the surface daily with a long-handled net helps remove leaves, insects, and dirt before they sink to the bottom. Weekly brushing and vacuuming ensure that the pool’s walls and floor remain free of algae and sediment, contributing to a clean and safe swimming environment.

Balancing pool chemicals is crucial for maintaining safe and healthy water. Proper chemical balance prevents skin and eye irritation, protects pool equipment from corrosion or scale buildup, and keeps the water clear and inviting. Regular testing and adjustments ensure chlorine works effectively and the pH stays within the ideal range of 7.2-7.6. Maintaining the correct levels of chlorine, pH, alkalinity, and calcium hardness helps prevent issues such as algae growth and bacterial contamination, ensuring a safe swimming experience.

You should backwash your pool filter when the pressure gauge indicates an increase of 8-10 psi above the normal operating level.

Keeping the filter clean ensures that it operates effectively, keeping your pool water clear and clean.

Pool shocking involves adding a large dose of chlorine to eliminate contaminants and restore water clarity. It should be done weekly or after heavy pool use, rainstorms, or when the water appears cloudy. Shocking helps prevent algae growth, kills bacteria, and restores water clarity. This process oxidizes organic materials and neutralizes ammonia and other contaminants that regular chlorination might not fully eliminate. Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions for the correct amount of shock treatment, and avoid swimming until chlorine levels return to the normal range.

To prevent algae growth, maintain proper chemical balance, ensure good water circulation, and use algaecide weekly. Regular brushing of pool walls and tiles also helps prevent algae buildup. If algae start to form, shock the pool and brush the affected areas thoroughly. Persistent algae problems may require a stronger treatment or professional intervention. Regular maintenance, including proper circulation, filtration, and chemical balance, is key to keeping algae at bay.

Check your pool’s water level at least once a week. The water level should be at the midpoint of the skimmer opening. Low water levels can cause the pump to run dry, leading to damage, while high levels reduce the skimmer’s efficiency. Adjust the water level as needed, especially after heavy use or rainfall. Maintaining the correct water level ensures that the skimmer operates efficiently, removing debris and maintaining proper circulation.

Regular inspection of pool equipment, such as the pump, filter, heater, and other components, helps detect wear and tear early, preventing costly repairs. Ensuring equipment is functioning properly maintains water quality and extends the lifespan of your pool system. Listen for unusual noises, which can indicate a problem.

It’s important to address algae problems promptly to avoid long-term damage to the pool surfaces and equipment.

Use a pool cover when the pool is not in use to keep out leaves, dirt, and other debris. Skim the pool surface daily and encourage swimmers to shower before entering the pool. Installing a foot bath at the pool entrance can also help reduce the amount of dirt and sand introduced into the water. Keeping the pool area clean and well-maintained reduces the amount of debris that enters the water, making maintenance easier and less frequent.

A pool cover prevents debris from entering the pool, reduces water evaporation, retains heat, and maintains chemical levels. This reduces cleaning frequency, lowers maintenance costs, and improves energy efficiency, keeping your pool cleaner and more cost-effective to maintain. Pool covers also enhance safety by preventing accidental falls and help maintain the desired water temperature, reducing heating costs.

The type of brush you should use depends on your pool’s surface. Use a nylon brush for vinyl or fibreglass surfaces and a stainless steel brush for concrete or plaster pools. Regular brushing helps prevent algae buildup and keeps the pool surfaces clean. Choosing the right brush ensures effective cleaning without damaging the pool’s surface.

After adding chemicals, wait at least 4-8 hours before swimming, or follow the manufacturer’s instructions on the chemical packaging. This allows the chemicals to disperse and the water to stabilize, ensuring it is safe for swimming. Swimming too soon after adding chemicals can cause skin and eye irritation and reduce the effectiveness of the treatment.

Run your pool pump for at least 8-12 hours a day during the swimming season to ensure proper water circulation. Good circulation prevents stagnant water, distributes chemicals evenly, and reduces the risk of algae growth. Maintaining proper water circulation is essential for effective filtration and chemical distribution, ensuring a clean and safe swimming environment.

Cloudy pool water can result from poor filtration, inadequate chlorine levels, or imbalanced pH. Check and clean your filter, shock the pool, and adjust chemical levels as needed. Regular maintenance and proper chemical balance help prevent cloudy water. Ensuring that your filtration system is working efficiently and maintaining proper chemical levels will keep the water clear and inviting.

If your pool’s pH levels are consistently off, first ensure you are testing correctly. Adjust the pH using pH increaser (sodium carbonate) or pH decreaser (sodium bisulfate) as needed. Regular testing and adjustments help maintain the ideal pH range of 7.2-7.6. If problems persist, consult a professional to check for underlying issues such as water source problems or equipment malfunctions.
