Maintaining a swimming pool requires a year-round commitment to ensure it remains clean, safe, and ready for use. At Supreme Pool Service and Repair, we understand the nuances of seasonal pool care and have compiled this essential guide to help you keep your pool in top condition throughout the year.

Spring: Wake Your Pool from Winter Slumber

• Opening Your Pool: Start by removing any winter covers and cleaning them for storage. Thoroughly clean your pool’s interior and deck area to remove debris.
• Equipment Check: Inspect pumps, filters, heaters, and other pool equipment for any signs of damage or wear. Replace or repair as necessary.
• Water Balance: Refill your pool if needed, test the water, and adjust chemicals to achieve the proper pH, alkalinity, and sanitizer levels.

Summer: Peak Season Maintenance

• Daily Tasks: Skim debris from the water daily, clean skimmer baskets, and check the water level.
• Weekly Checks: Test water chemistry weekly and adjust chemicals as necessary to handle increased use. Clean the pool walls and floor to prevent algae buildup.
• Filter Maintenance: Clean or backwash filters regularly to ensure efficient water filtration, especially during high usage periods.

Autumn: Prepare for Cooler Weather

• Reducing Maintenance: As pool usage decreases, reduce the frequency of chemical treatments and filtering hours. Continue to check and balance the water chemistry.
• Leaf Removal: Keep the pool and surrounding area free from leaves and debris to prevent algae growth and maintain water quality.
• Winter Preparation: Begin winterizing by gradually lowering the water level and adding winter chemicals if you live in a region where pools are closed for the winter.

Winter: Protect Your Pool in the Cold

• Winter Covers: Secure a quality winter cover to protect your pool from debris and reduce the likelihood of algae.
• Equipment Care: Drain water from the pump, heater, and pipes to prevent freezing. Store removable equipment indoors.
• Occasional Checks: Inspect the cover and pool area periodically to ensure everything remains secure and intact. Check the water level and add winter chemicals if needed to keep the water clear.

Why Regular Maintenance Matters

Regular maintenance not only extends the life of your pool and its equipment but also ensures that the pool remains a healthy and enjoyable place for family and friends. Neglect can lead to costly repairs and unsafe swimming conditions, so it’s crucial to follow a structured maintenance schedule.
