Get Your Pool Ready for Summer – Must-Do Maintenance Tips
Whether it’s family fun, weekend parties, or simply relaxing under the sun, having a clean and safe pool makes all the difference. But before you take that first dip, your pool needs a little care and attention.
Here are some important steps to make sure your pool is ready for a fresh, fun-filled summer!
Clean the Pool and the Surroundings
Start with a good clean-up. Don’t forget to check the pool floor for any debris that may have sunk.
Also, clean the area around your pool. Sweep the deck, remove furniture dust, and make sure everything looks tidy and welcoming. A clean space makes your pool more inviting and safe.
Inspect All Pool Equipment
Your pool depends on equipment like the pump, filter, lights, and maybe even an automatic pool cleaner. Before the heat hits, switch everything on and make sure it’s working properly.
Listen for strange sounds, look for leaks, and clean out any filter baskets. If something doesn’t seem right, it’s best to call in a professional to fix or replace it early.
Balance the Water
Clean, clear, and safe water is very important. After a few months of less use, your pool water may need to be tested and treated to get it back to the right condition.
Balancing the water keeps it safe for your skin and eyes, and also protects the pool itself. You can do this with a home test kit or let a pool service company handle it for you.
Shock the Pool (If Needed)
If your pool hasn’t been used in a while or looks cloudy, a process called “shocking” helps kill bacteria and clear the water. This involves adding a strong chlorine treatment to clean everything thoroughly.
It’s a simple step, but very effective in giving your pool a fresh start for the season.
Check for Cracks, Leaks, and Damages
Look carefully at the pool walls, steps, and tiles. Small cracks or leaks can become bigger problems if ignored. If you notice any damage, schedule a repair right away. It’s always better to fix things before summer is in full swing.
Brush and Vacuum the Pool
This helps keep your pool water looking clear and sparkling – and avoids slippery surfaces too!
Consider a Professional Pool Check-Up
Even if you like doing things yourself, a quick visit from a pool maintenance expert can be helpful. They can do a full inspection, clean parts you might miss, and make sure everything is running smoothly.
In places like Dubai, where the heat is intense, it’s important to make sure your pool is ready to handle daily use during the summer months.
