Pool & Spa Owner Essentials
Spending time in your pool and spa is one of the best parts of summertime. As the temperatures heat up, here are some essentials every pool owner should know to make enjoying their pool as safe and fun as possible.
Essential #1: A Regular Maintenance Routine
A clean pool is the key to enjoying your pool year-round. A regularly maintained pool will lead to less swimming pool repairs in the future, as well as make sure that your pool water is clean and safe to swim in.
You should skim your pool to clean out debris and empty skimmer baskets daily if possible, at least once a week. Pool chemicals should be checked and balanced, the pool should be vacuumed, brushed, and skimmed on a regular basis as well.
Most homeowners and property managers don’t have time in their busy life to take care of regular pool maintenance, which is why you should work with a reliable local pool company to handle your pool maintenance.
Essential #2: Energy Efficient Pool Equipment
Your pool is the place where your family memories are made, and you deserve the get the most out of your pool equipment.
Many traditional pool pumps and heaters can lead to high energy bills. With its innovative design & durability, modern energy efficient pool equipment can save you up to $1,300 per year on your energy costs.
There are several other pool upgrades that can make your pool more enjoyable. Pool automation systems allow you to control your pool equipment from any web connected device, like smartphones and tablets. Automatic pool fillers allow you to maintain consistent water levels with their easy-to-use system. Saltwater chlorinators can help you save on chlorine costs and prevent itchy skin and red eyes.
Essential #3: Pool Safety
Pool safety is an essential part of pool ownership, especially if you have children. To ensure the safety of your family, never leave a child unattended in our near water, and be sure to have proper barriers, covers, and alarms on and around your pool and spa. It’s important to teach children how to swim and to stay away from drains.
We also recommend getting CPR certification, so you are prepared in case of an emergency.
Cracked, damage, or aging pool tile and surfaces can also be dangerous and lead to injuries. If your pool’s surfaces are showing signs of aging, it might be time for a pool renovation.
