Swimming Pool Maintenance Tips for Opening Your Pool for Spring
Hamlin Pools
All across Rio Grande Valley, people are preparing their pools for heavy use during the upcoming spring and summer seasons. The first step in this process: getting your pool back in tip-top shape by performing a few swimming pool maintenance duties that will help keep your pool clean and healthy all season.
Check Your Water Levels
It’s always important to check your water levels. Swimming pools are constantly losing water due to evaporation and if you haven’t checked it in a while it could be pretty low. So do a check now and make sure you have the proper water level in your pool.
Take Care of the Equipment
Inspect your pump and lubricate or replace any o-rings needing some extra attention. Now is also an excellent time to inspect your pool’s plumbing connections, and to visually inspect all of the other equipment:
- The filter
- The heater
- Lights
- Automation systems
Once visually inspected, power on the equipment and look for any drips or leaks. Continue to replace any o-rings as necessary.
Run Your Pump
Proper pool chemistry is essential in keeping your waters clean and pristine. Before leaping into your pool, an important part of swimming pool maintenance is running the pump for several hours to ensure that the pool chemicals are adequately circulated.
