Professional Pool Management Saves You the Hassle

If you have a pool as part of your business, organization or community and have been trying to run the pool management yourself, you know what a burden it can be. Pools need to be properly maintained to health code standards and staffed with knowledgeable and competent staff members. This requires training and expertise that is not always easy to find. A professional pool management company can ensure that all the requirements that must be met to keep a pool safe are covered, often saving you money in the long run and reducing the hassle of handling it yourself.

What Pool Management Companies Offer

The great thing about hiring a professional pool management company is that they are already experts in the field. No more worrying changing regulations as well as staffing and training issues. Pool management companies are up-to-date on all pool regulations and have ample staff who are trained to handle your needs. This can ensure that:

–         Your pool is always safe and clean

–         You have professional staff to ensure swimming safety

–         You are not at risk for expensive liability issues

–         Proper maintenance is being done to protect your investment

Professional pool management can relieve all the issues that come with having a pool that is used by your members or customers. By outsourcing this aspect of your organization, it can actually save money versus hiring and training internally as well as reduce liability. It is a smart and safe choice, both for the organization and all those who use your pool on a daily basis.

Pool Management Services

Property managers of commercial and multifamily properties, such as apartments, condominiums and neighborhood community pools often are faced with the task of managing the pool, as well as the other aspects of their property.  Quickly they see the benefit of using a professional pool management company that will provide economical full service pool management services, including pool start up, maintenance and repairs, as well as lifeguards.

Depending upon the region of the country the pool is located in, often there is a defined pool “season”.  Getting the pool ready for opening day can be very stressful for the Property Manager, because often their will be a series of inspections by the local government overseeing pools, which must be passed before the pool can open.  A pool management company will make sure that everything is 100% ready for the inspections so that the opening day will be met.  They know what to look for and how to get it done!

The pool service company will also have the commercial pool on a regular maintenance schedule to clean the pool and monitor the pool’s chemistry and make the necessary adjustments.  The exact number of times the pool is maintained per week will vary, depending upon how often the pool is used.  The technician will also be on the look out for anything in need of repair and will take the appropriate action.

Often managing lifeguards is a very big headache for Property Managers!  The company providing full service pool management services will also be able to provide reliable, certified lifeguard services.  In addition, they will  have backup guards available, in the event that that the regular guard gets sick.  No need to close the pool because of no lifeguards!

What is involved in a Pool Opening?

If you operate a commercial pool, you will have to begin planning for the opening of the pool weeks in advance.  February is not too soon to start making plans since pool service companies book up early.  If you don’t want to be the last to open your pool, get ahead of the crowd.

First, check your pool supplies for expiration dates and replace any that are not current.  Remove all of the debris that has fallen on top of the cover and pump off any water that is standing on the cover.  Remove the cover carefully to make sure no remaining debris falls into the pool, and allow it to dry before you put it away.

Connect the pump, filter, and any other equipment.  You are ready to set up the pool area with diving boards, ladders, and other devices.  Connecting the equipment is best done by a professional to ensure everything is in proper working order.

You will then need to check the chemical levels of the water and add what is needed to get the right balance.  If you are not sure what this entails, you can contact a professional pool management services company to do the testing and adjusting for you.  They will also come back periodically to make sure the balance does not change.

If you operate a public pool, you will be required to get an inspection by a licensed inspector in order to operate for the summer.  You can have a pool service company do all of these tasks and manage your pool through the entire season so that you can simply enjoy it.

Why Use a Pool Management Service

If you are a property manager, homeowners association, or operate a hotel or other commercial facility that has a swimming pool, you know that a swimming pool can be huge attraction for potential home buyers, apartment and condominium tenants, vacationers and travelers. In some parts of the country, a pool is almost a necessity to profitably operate a hotel or apartment complex.  Despite their attractiveness and desirability, pools pose problems for any type of business.

A swimming pool can be a lot of fun, but managing the pool can be a headache. First, there is the cost and hassle of maintaining the pool.  Pool maintenance includes servicing and repairing the pumps, filters, and other equipment along with cleaning debris from the pool and maintaining the proper chemical balance in the pool.

Pools at commercial facilities have to be clean and full of clear, sparkling water at all times.  Proper maintenance is critical for preventing accidents and preventing damage to the pool.  Ironically, community and commercial swimming pools are harder to keep clean and properly maintained because they are heavily used and it is difficult to control the contaminants that enter the pool.

In addition, liability is a huge issue and keeping pool users safe is very important.  Finding, training, and managing reliable lifeguards and other staff can be a constant battle.

You can avoid most or all of these issues by using a professional swimming pool management service instead of managing the pool yourself.  A professional management company will be fully insured and assume responsibility for the safety of the pool along with the liability for any accidents or injuries.  They also provide staffing and maintenance services which relieves the property manager or business owner from a huge burden.  If you are tired of the hassles of managing the swimming pool at your facility, speak to a professional pool management company.
