5 Essential Pool Maintenance Tasks for Summer

As the temperatures rise and the days grow longer, it's time to ensure that your pool is ready for the summer season ahead. At Mandro's Pool Service, we understand the importance of proper maintenance to keep your pool clean, safe, and inviting all summer long. Here are five essential pool maintenance tasks to prioritize this summer.

1. Skim and Clean the Pool Surface: Regularly skimming the surface of your pool helps remove leaves, insects, and other debris that can accumulate and affect water clarity. Use a skimmer net to skim the surface daily and remove any debris floating on the water.

2. Check and Maintain Water Chemistry: Maintaining the proper balance of chemicals in your pool is crucial for water clarity and swimmer comfort. Test the water regularly using a pool testing kit to monitor pH levels, chlorine levels, alkalinity, and calcium hardness. Adjust chemical levels as needed to keep the water balanced and safe for swimming.

3. Vacuum and Brush the Pool Walls and Floor: In addition to skimming the surface, it's important to vacuum and brush the pool walls and floor regularly to remove dirt, algae, and other debris. Use a pool vacuum to clean the bottom of the pool and a pool brush to scrub the walls and tile line to prevent algae growth and keep the pool surfaces clean.

4. Maintain Pool Equipment: Check and maintain pool equipment such as pumps, filters, and heaters to ensure they are functioning properly. Clean or backwash the filter as needed, and inspect the pump and motor for any signs of damage or wear. Schedule regular maintenance checks with Mandro's Pool Service to keep your equipment in top condition.

5. Monitor Water Level and Temperature: Keep an eye on the water level in your pool and top it up as needed to maintain the proper level for optimal skimming and filtration. Additionally, monitor the water temperature to ensure it remains comfortable for swimming. Consider investing in a pool thermometer to easily monitor the water temperature throughout the summer.
