A beautiful backyard pool needs a regular care routine. For homeowners in North Glendale, Peoria and North Phoenix, that routine should cover more than what the water looks like on the surface.
Start with the surface—and the bottom
Leaves and other debris can collect above and below the waterline. Skimming the surface and removing debris from the bottom help keep the pool looking cared for. Brushing tile, walls and flat areas is another part of a thorough visit.
Give baskets and equipment attention
Emptying collected debris from baskets goes hand in hand with checking the equipment for visible concerns. New leaks, unusual sounds or a change in how the pool circulates are worth reporting rather than leaving until the next scheduled visit.
Test the water instead of judging by appearance
Clear water alone does not tell you its chemical condition. Water testing provides information needed to guide treatment. Follow your equipment and chemical product instructions, and ask your pool professional about checks between service visits.
The CDC advises home pool owners to test disinfectant and pH at least twice daily, and more often during heavy use. A weekly service visit does not replace those between-visit checks.
