Keeping Your Pool Clean Between The Pool Service Palm Springs Visits

By Gregory Bell


No sooner has the cleaning teams have left the pool starts getting dirt again. Unfortunately, most wait for the next visit by the professional cleaners to have the cleaning done again. However, some few cleaning techniques may help maintain the water clean, clear and smelling fresh. Here is what to do before the next visit by the pool service Palm Springs contractors in your home.

During the fall season, it is common to find dried leaves and sticks from deciduous plants surrounding the pool. There are also insects that fall and float on the surface. Skim the debris using as skimming bucket. You can buy one from the stores or attach a net to a long handle. If debris is not skimmed, it eventually sinks and becomes hard to remove.

Drain the water every fourteen or so days and vacuum the floor. The sides should also be scrubbed to rid of calcium deposits and algae that grow on the sides. Scrub the sides by use of hard bristles. However, if the walls are made of fiberglass, use soft bristles to prevent damage by scratching the surface.

The filtration systems should also be checked regularly. Sand sediments and other debris often get trapped at the filter. Over time, the blocked debris accumulates in a way that the entrance becomes blocked. You may have the filters cleaned or replaced if they are very dirty. Professional cleaners may help in filter replacement.

Investigate if the tubes of the heating equipment contain calcium deposits. If the calcium deposits get large, they may block the free flow of the water to and from the heating system. An electrical technician may help replace or clean the tubes. Moreover, during the winter period, have the system detached and the pipes dried out to prevent damage from solidified ice.

Ammonia is one of the waste products that are excreted by the skin. Ammonia reacts with the nitrogen gas and gives off the chlorine gas. The gas has a pungent smell that makes the pool uncomfortable to the swimmers. You can get rid of the smell by adding super chlorinate, a chemical that raises the amount of chlorine in the water in a way that suppresses other smells.

The ideal water pH is between 7 and 8. You may buy a pH meter from the household stores to check the pH. If the pH is more than 8, add an acidic solution to bring it to the right PH. Add an alkaline solution to water that is less than a pH of 7 to neutralize the acidity.

All swimmers should be clean before they start swimming. It helps maintain the amenity clean and fresh. A well-maintained pool also consumes fewer chemicals to keep it clean. Seek a professional team to handle professional maintenance. The chosen team should have competency in offering quality service. You may ask family and friends that have used such as service in the past. You may also check the internet for testimonial of some of the pool cleaning companies in the Palm Springs area.
