Even
though the rainy season has started to settle down in Florida, you
cannot just simply ignore your swimming pool. You can’t expect it to
still be in great condition without doing regular maintenance. The
problem is that most people will only take action once they see
something wrong. But in the meantime, they’ll just set aside the
maintenance.
Swimming pool
maintenance is something that you can do alone or hire a professional
service company for. However, to avoid the risk of breaking things
further, it is highly advisable to hire professional pool technicians to
do the maintenance and repairs.
So,
what are the common swimming pool issues that you should keep an eye out
for? Take a look at the signs and call the swimming pool maintenance
company in your area right away.
Green Tinged Water
When
the water in your pool looks cloudy but there is more of a green tinge
to it, you may be having a green algae problem. This can be caused by a
blockage in your water filter or a broken filtration system. If this is
the case, you may need to call the swimming pool maintenance company to
get a new filter installed and see if that works to remove the cloudy
water. Checking the pH of the water is necessary too to know if the
water needs a stabilizer.
Discolored Water
If
the water in your pool takes on a different color like maybe a copper
tinge, this may be due to corroding pool equipment. Copper pool
equipment tends to rust over time because of the pool chemicals and wear
and tear. The best thing to do is scrub the areas that are rusting and
then remove the rust deposits. However, if the pH level of the water has
been affected due to the corroding copper equipment, your pool may need
a metal chelating agent to balance the pH once again.
Build Ups
If
you notice that something is building up on the pool’s walls, floors
and equipment, this may be calcium carbonate. Removing it can be done
with a waterproof sandpaper. An unbalanced pH is the main cause of
accumulating calcium carbonate, which is why your water has to be
checked regularly. Such an issue needs to be handled immediately.
Otherwise, the buildup will be very hard to remove.
If
you notice these common pool problems, give your local swimming pool
maintenance company a call. The earlier the problem is fixed, the less
repair costs you will have to pay for.
