it's ready for those warm, sunny days ahead.
PASO
ROBLES, Calif., Aug. 15,
2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Summer isn't over yet and
the warm fall days ahead make those refreshing dips in the backyard
pool and soaking in the spa even more inviting. "Before diving in,
take the time now for a thorough inspection," reminds
James Vidito, owner of Central Coast Pool and Spa.
The order of adding chemicals is important,
and adding an algaecide also affects the chemical balance.
Keeping pools and spas in good repair in and near Paso Robles, Templeton, and Atascadero is a top priority for Central Coast
Pool and Spa Answering questions about inspections and maintenance
is one way the company helps keep customers informed and their
pools and spas in top working condition. Frequently asked questions
include:
- What's the first step to getting a pool ready for summer?
- What equipment needs inspection?
- How soon is the water ready for a swim?
Uncovering the pool is step one. But, before removing the cover,
clean it by removing any debris on it. Also, inspect it for tears
or other damage. Ideally, repair any damage before removing it.
It's already open and making repairs is much easier. Additionally,
retracting the cover, or putting it away before repairs might cause
further damage. Well-maintained good-quality pool covers last from
five to ten years. It's well worth the time to inspect and repair
the cover.
Once the cover is removed, clean the pool. Skim off any floating
debris and use the pool vacuum to remove settled dirt and sediment.
Use a pool brush to scrub away grime or algae. A pool cleaning
solution might be in order for a thorough cleaning.
Next, inspect the pump, filter, and pool heater before running
them. Not every pool owner has the confidence or time to inspect
the equipment. Calling a professional pool and spa repair service
in Paso Robles, Templeton, Atascadero, or nearby, makes sure the pool
equipment gets the best professional attention.
An equipment inspection involves:
- Checking for leaks around the pump and connections.
- Cleaning the filter. The cleaning process differs depending on
the filter type.
- Inspecting the pool heater for leaks or damage; if it's a gas
heater, be sure the gas lines are secure and functioning
properly
The final step is making the water clear, clean, and inviting.
Add water if necessary then check the water chemistry. Here are the
key elements to test:
- pH: This measures the acidity or alkalinity of your water.
Ideal pH levels for swimming pools are between 7.2 and 7.8. If your
pH is outside this range, you'll need to add a pH increaser or
de-creaser to adjust it.
- Alkalinity: This acts as a buffer, preventing rapid changes in
pH. Maintaining proper alkalinity levels helps keep your pH
stable.
- Chlorine (or sanitizer): This is crucial for killing bacteria
and algae in your pool. For chlorine pools, ensure the free
chlorine level falls within a healthy range (typically 1-3 ppm).
For alternative sanitizers like bromine, consult the manufacturer's
recommended levels.
There's more to balancing the water chemistry than just adding
chemicals. Each chemical needs to be added in specific amounts and
the water tested after each addition. The balance between pH,
alkalinity, and sanitizer is sensitive. It can take more than one
session to get the balance correct. Generally, wait about 10
minutes after adding chemicals before testing again.
The order of adding chemicals is important, and adding an
algaecide also affects the chemical balance.
Central Coast Pool and Spa can simplify the process of balancing
the water chemistry. The experience of servicing and maintaining
hundreds of pools since 2013 is certainly a benefit for pool
owners. What might seem like a chemistry pop quiz with trick
questions to many pool owners is second nature for the pool and spa
repair and maintenance company.
Not only can the team maintain and repair pools and spas in
Paso Robles or nearby, but the
technicians take the time to explain how to add chemicals and test
for optimal balance.
