A swimming pool is a unique way to keep fit while also spending time with your family and friends, a regularly serviced pool is a fantastic excuse to get outside without having to force your way through the crowds at waterparks or deal with the memberships of a public pool, a pool that doesn’t encounter regular servicing, on the other hand, becomes not only dirty and uninviting but can also have potential health implications dire enough to dissuade anyone even considering swimming there. Knowing when a swimming pool needs servicing may be tough if you’re not a specialist in the industry, read on for information on how often your pool should be serviced.
Regular Servicing
Pool maintenance has been compared to weekly chores such as recycling, if you recycle regularly the rubbish doesn’t pile up but if it’s been left for several weeks or even months you may find an insurmountable mess that barely fits in the bins. Pool maintenance is similar in the sense that when taken care of regularly there is less to do when that servicing appointment comes around. The best way to get a regular servicing schedule going is to speak to the company that installed it in the first place and organise a recurring servicing check-up.
One Size Does Not Fit All
Every swimming pool is different and chances are their servicing needs will differ also, a full Olympic pool may not need the same servicing as the kid’s paddling pool in your parent’s back garden and thus shouldn’t be treated the same. Asking the company that fitted the pool about its servicing needs is a must as they will be able to shed some light on the specific type of maintenance that needs to be carried out on it and may also be able to offer insight on the regularity of the required servicing.
When Needed
Leaving all of the servicing for when you may have a professional appointment booked is what many swimming pools owners opt for, this has many benefits as it leaves the majority of legwork for the professionals who are qualified to deal with it in the best way. On the other hand, you may come across an issue which you are able to remedy yourself such as an accumulation of leaves or debris on the pool surface, this is a minor issue and you may be able to deal with it independently. The reasoning behind doing this yourself rather than waiting for the professionals is that it can extend the lifespan of your pool, you may also find that there is strong wind several days after a servicing appointment and suddenly your pool is filled with brand new debris, it may be simpler to just deal with it yourself rather than trying to change or add an appointment.
Knowing when to service your pool is an important part of the pool maintenance process and will help to elongate the lifespan of your swimming pool, every pool has its properties and therefore will have different needs in terms of servicing. Understanding these properties and the servicing necessities that come with them will help you get an idea of how to care for your pool in the best way.
