Keeping your pool clean is an important aspect of owning a pool. It is evident when you go too long without a cleaning service – the color of the water can change, debris is floating on the surface and the walls of the pool can become dingy. You want a clean pool for safety and to protect your investment. Knowing how often to clean your pool can keep it from becoming unsafe and put less stress on your pool equipment.
Cleaning frequency for pools depends on a few factors. How many people swim in your pool and how often? If you have kids that have their friends over throughout the summer to swim, you are going to need to clean your pool more often. Those that only use their pool a few times a week for a quick swim may not need to clean it as often. Weather and environment can play a part, too.
For most homes, a weekly pool cleaning is recommended. Some of the services that should be done weekly include:
- Vacuuming
- Brushing the walls
- Cleaning the skimmer
- Cleaning the tiles along the water line
- Shock the pool and maintain the PH balance
- Remove any debris
In addition to weekly cleaning, there are some maintenance services to help keep your pool clean that should be done every few months. Thoroughly cleaning your filters, including degreasing them is one task that may be needed every 2-3 months.
Having a professional pool service that comes out once a week is the best way to ensure your pool is kept clean and safe. They can perform the weekly cleaning steps and do other maintenance on a less frequent basis.
