Basic Pool and Spa Maintenance Tips

We all know that having a pool and spa in your backyard is truly a great investment. Having swimming parties or barbeque picnics are great bonding activities that the whole family can look forward to. Our friends also adore us more especially if we throw overnight swimming parties once in a while.

It’s a good thing then that keeping our pools and spa in excellent working condition is easy.

You know that having a well maintained pool and spa can prevent certain accidents. A well kept pool and spa can also save you a lot of money from costly repairs. And regular cleaning and maintenance of your pool and spa eliminates and prevent molds and insects to manifest in your backyard.

Here are some basic pool and spa maintenance tips from South Bay Home Inspections that you can easily follow:

Water Circulation

Make sure your pool has good water circulation. The better the water the circulation, the more efficient your water filtration system will be. Having good water circulation can prevent algae growth and stagnant water.

Filtration

Every pool must have a filtration system. Filters will remove dirt, debris such as leaves, and some bacteria and molds from the water. You should use a system that has a combination of sand and cartridge filters.

Cleaning

Brushing the tiles of your pool is a must even if you have an automatic pool cleaner.

Water testing

There are some DIY water testing kits that you can use to determine if the water in your pool is safe to use. Clear water does not mean that it is free from bacteria and harmful chemicals.

Pool and Spa Inspections

Have a regular Pool and Spa Inspection. These inspections can determine whether your pool or spa is in tip top condition and is safe to use. Certified pool and spa inspectors can also detect harmful elements such as white water molds and pink slime.
