Do You Need Weekly Pool Maintenance? Take Our Quiz to Find Out

• Is The Color Of Your Pool Water Changing?

Any change in the color of your pool water might indicate that something is wrong and needs to be fixed. Although green water is a common indicator of algae growth on the sides and bottom of your pool, unhealthy water may come in a variety of hues. Brown and water with a golden hue are the most typical colors. This is caused by algae development or other impurities in your pool.

Pool water that is cloudy, green, or has any other discoloration should be considered a sign that weekly pool maintenance is necessary. Without proper care, your swimming pool can quickly become a murky eyesore. Not only will weekly pool maintenance keep your pool looking great, but it will also help to preserve the pool's equipment and extend its lifespan.

If you're not sure whether or not you need weekly pool maintenance, consult with a professional. They will be able to tell you what services your specific pool needs in order to stay healthy and look great. Keep in mind that neglecting your pool can lead to bigger problems down the road - so don't wait until it's too late.

• Is There A Very Strong Smell Of Chlorine?

Chlorine is a sanitizer that can be added to pool water as it filters through the system weekly. It's important for weekly maintenance to ensure your chlorine levels are at recommended amounts and also watch what other chemicals may be required based on current readings of pH, alkalinity, and cyanuric acid (conditioners).

If you notice a strong smell of chlorine in your pool, this could indicate there isn't enough circulation or filtration going on which might cause some issues with chemical balances. So if you have noticed any signs like these it would be best to call someone out for weekly pool maintenance so everything stays balanced!

It can also mean that the pH levels have dropped, or bacteria levels are high.  If weekly pool maintenance is not performed, the smell may become stronger and more unpleasant. Pool owners should take care to monitor these levels and adjust them as necessary.

• Is Your Pool Becoming Foamy?

A pool that is foaming can be a sign that you need weekly pool maintenance. Pool foam is often caused by an overabundance of soap, oils, or other contaminants in the water. If these substances are not removed on a regular basis, they will continue to build up and create more foam. In addition to being unsightly, excessive foam can also lead to health problems for swimmers. It is important to address this issue as soon as possible to avoid any long-term damage.

• Does Your Water Chemistry Test Often Show Imbalanced Results?

Pool water that is out of balance can be a sign that you need weekly pool maintenance. Types of imbalanced pool water chemistry include high pH, low pH, high total alkalinity, low total alkalinity, and high calcium hardness. If your pool has any of these problems, it's important to get them corrected by a professional so the entire pool system doesn't become damaged. Improperly balanced pool water can also lead to corrosion of your swimming pool equipment and surfaces.

• Do Your Pool Water Levels Keep Decreasing?

One common sign that your weekly pool maintenance is necessary is when you notice the water level in your pool keeps decreasing. This can be due to a number of factors, including evaporation, leaks, or even people swimming in the pool. If you don't address these issues as soon as possible, they can lead to bigger and more expensive problems down the road.

If your pool water levels keep dropping, not only will you have to add more water to the pool but also to the equipment. This can damage or even ruin your pump, filter, and heater.

• Is Your Pool Filtering System Malfunctioning?

Filters are an integral part of a pool system. They help keep the water clean and free from debris, dirt, and other contaminants that would otherwise clog up your pump equipment leading to problems like backwashing or draining pools with dirty filters which can cost you money in repairs as well as time spent away from enjoying yourself by having weekly maintenance done on your filter system.

The weekly cleaning of these systems is pretty easy but doing it often requires some work. You need to take out all the components first before scrubbing them thoroughly so they'll be ready for replacement next week when you will do another weekly cleaning procedure on it making sure not a single speck of bacteria contamination remains attached anywhere on its surface. This needs to be checked regularly since if it is not done so, it will only lead to the growth of bacteria colonies that can be potentially harmful to your health.
