Cleaning Service – We offer weekly and bi-weekly maintenance

 

After the Opening:

You should begin your cleaning and chemical maintenance. Chemical levels should be checked weekly for proper pH, alkalinity, and calcium and adjusted when needed. Improperly balanced water can be corrosive and can damage pool components. Salt Generators should be monitored for adequate salt level and controls checked for any maintenance codes. Filter pressure will need to checked frequently after opening. Most filters will need to be cleaned or backwashed within a week after opening. Pollen and sediment are the #1 reason for high filter pressure and cloudy pools in the spring requiring frequent filter cleaning.
