Expert Pool Service in Forth Worth

A critical component of pool maintenance is pool cleaning. Performing some pool cleaning tasks like skimming or vacuuming is recommended on a weekly basis. Additionally, a deep clean is necessary several times during the season, if you have not done your weekly pool cleanings and see signs of algae or pests.

Why You Need a Professional Pool Cleaner

The following signs indicate that you need a professional pool cleaning from Patriot Pool & Spa:

• Water that is discolored: Algae and other contaminants in your pool can cause irritations, infections, and even long-term health issues if ingested. Therefore, it is important to get your pool professionally cleaned when it is not clear.
• Insects: You may find other organisms living in your pool besides bacteria. It is common for bugs to find their way around the water and sometimes fall in. Your pool can be infested with mosquitoes, water beetles, gnats, and more.
• Skin and eye irritation: When you swim underwater with your eyes open, you may experience minor skin irritation and eye irritation. When untreated or chemically imbalanced water lingers on the skin long-term, it can cause serious skin conditions, especially acne.
• Scaling: Scaling is formed when inorganic material accumulates on pool tile, stone, fiberglass, and other hard surfaces. Typically, scaling indicates a high calcium, pH, or alkaline level in your pool.
• Foam in the water: There may be bubbles or foam on the surface of your pool water, but this indicates strong surface tension, which can be caused by sunblock, lotion and soap. An overabundance of germs and bacteria lying on the surface, or the presence of too many or too few chemicals (a chemical imbalance).

If you are experiencing any of the symptoms above, it’s time you reach out to the professionals at Patriot Pool & Spa.
