Spring has arrived in Florida, and while summer is still months away, your pool needs to be routinely maintained to keep it in top shape. Before the hottest part of the year arrives, it is imperative to conduct immediate pool inspection to prevent having hassles during the peak swimming season. Below are some of the tips we have compiled for your pool maintenance.


· Clear your pool of unwanted debris. Unwanted debris such as leaves, twigs, and dirt affects the water and can cause stains and promote the growth of algae. You can make use of a long-handled net to clear debris floating on the surface of the water. Remove the accumulated dirt at the bottom of the pool with a brush.

· Clean the gutters, tile, and pool edge with the right products. The use of appropriate products is necessary to ensure that no damages are incurred. Routine scrubbing removes grime build-up and discoloration from your tiles and pool edge, giving it a fresh look. If dirt hasn’t been scrubbed off for the long time, it can cause stains and leave your pool dull-looking. Also, clean your pool gutter on an annual basis to keep it from clogging.

· Check and maintain your pool’s water and pH levels. Maintain the recommended water level for your pool to ensure the balance of chemicals. Check if the pH level of your pool qualifies within the safe range (which is usually between 7.2 to 7.8) so that you can swim safely.

· Inspect pool ladders and steps. Aside from checking your pool for leaks or cracks, it is also important to inspect your ladders for damage. Replace broken steps or ladders as soon as you see them to prevent possible injuries.

· Check the circulation and filtration systems. If these pumps are not working correctly, the water inside your pool might not be circulated or filtered the way it is supposed to be. Early detection of equipment malfunction will help ensure the prevention of possible problems.
