In a typical pool maintenance visit, the pool shell and tiles get vacuumed, skimmed, and brushed. As well as cleaning trap baskets, the pool professional will conduct water chemistry tests. Chemicals are added if necessary after the pH has been checked to bring the water back into balance.

A regular pool and spa maintenance visit should also include filter inspection and cleaning. It is recommended to inspect filters weekly and replace the gaskets, PSI gauges, or cartridges when necessary. In addition, the DE filters and grids should be inspected and cleaned.

Adding water and resetting time clocks (if necessary) are also included in regular pool maintenance. Salt chlorinators convert salt into chlorine, so those salt levels must be checked in some pools.

Pool Maintenance is Vital

How does neglecting pool maintenance affect your pool? When you fail to maintain your pool properly, you and those who use it will be at risk for bacteria buildup, improper water balance, and even damage to the pool liner, which may crack. Low pH levels can also result in a variety of problems.
