Fall is almost here, and it’s time to switch out of summer mode and into fall swimming pool cleaning techniques. During the summer months, pools need more cleaning since people spend most of their time in them. However, a completely different procedure is used during the fall months. Some of the pool maintenance procedures you should use for this coming season include the following.
During the fall, you should check your pool chemistry at least once a week, since there is reduced evaporation. Also, the pool is used less often, which means that the chemistry will last the week before any change is required. Make sure the chemicals are mixed accordingly to keep the water fresh and treated. If you don’t know how to mix the chemicals, hire a professional pool cleaner to do the job for you.
Autumn is characterized by a lot of leaves falling among other debris, so you should make sure your pool is regularly skimmed to remove the leaves before they sink to the bottom of your pool. Also, make sure that the skimmer basket is thoroughly cleaned, to make the skimming process effortless, if need be. Regularly check the lint and hair pot and clean it out if necessary; always switch off the pump when doing this. Try using pool covers to make sure that very little debris falls into the pool. Remember, if the debris is not cleaned thoroughly, it may stain the bottom of the pool, and these stains can sometimes be difficult to remove.
Since the fall months bring in cooler weather, you don’t need to run filters or pumps all day, seeing as very few people will be in the pool, if any at all. Turning the pumps off also saves electricity; as an estimation, you can try running the pump and filter 4-8 hours a day.
Always clean out the to improve the performance. As mentioned, there is a lot of debris bound to get into the pool. Therefore, if the filters are clogged, they might not work as they are supposed to. Regularly check the filters to make sure they are working properly. If you don’t know how to do this, let a professional at Tropix Pools do the maintenance.
