A Clear Answer from the Experts at Supreme Pool Service and Repair
Owning a pool is one of life’s greatest backyard luxuries—but with that luxury comes responsibility. Regular pool maintenance isn’t just about keeping the water clear—it’s about protecting your investment, ensuring safety, and preventing costly repairs down the road.
At Supreme Pool Service and Repair, one of the most common questions we get is:
“How often should I service my pool?”
The short answer: it depends on how often your pool is used, the season, and the type of system you have. Here’s a breakdown of what every pool owner should know:
🗓️ Weekly Pool Maintenance (Essential!)
Whether you’re using your pool daily or occasionally, weekly maintenance is non-negotiable:
- Skim leaves and debris from the surface
- Empty skimmer and pump baskets
- Test and balance water chemistry (chlorine, pH, alkalinity)
- Brush pool walls and vacuum the floor
- Check water level and adjust if needed
🔧 Pro Tip: Even if you handle weekly tasks yourself, having a professional perform a monthly check ensures your equipment is working properly.
🛠️ Monthly Pool Equipment Check
Once a month, inspect:
- Pool pump performance
- Filter pressure (clean or backwash if needed)
- Signs of leaks, clogs, or unusual noises
- Salt chlorinator (if applicable)
- Heater or automation system functionality
This is also a great time to professionally test your water for more detailed readings, like calcium hardness and cyanuric acid levels.
🌦️ Seasonal Pool Service
Each season brings unique needs:
☀️ Spring (Pool Opening)
- Deep clean and remove cover
- Shock the pool
- Inspect and restart equipment
- Balance water after winter dormancy
🍂 Fall
- Adjust chemistry for lower temperatures
- Remove falling leaves promptly
- Clean filters more frequently
❄️ Winter (if applicable)
- Properly close and winterize your pool if you’re in a cold climate
- If not winterized, continue light maintenance and cover usage
⚠️ Signs You May Need Extra Service
Even with regular care, keep an eye out for:
- Cloudy or green water
- Algae growth
- Difficulty balancing chemicals
- Low water pressure or circulation
- Unusual sounds from the pump
These are signals it’s time to call a pro.
