To ensure that your pool is working and in tip-top shape, you need to have it serviced at least once a year. The best time to service your pool is before each summer season. There are many companies in Fort Worth with pool service technicians that can come to your home and service your pool annually. In the meantime, there are some do-it-yourself service tips that you can do on your own on a weekly basis. Skim Leaves and Debris Clean out any leaves and debris that you see floating in your pool water. This is especially important after a storm. Use a long-handled leaf skimmer to gather up leaves, sticks, insects, or anything else you see floating. This is important especially so the filters do not become clogged and require a service appointment and repair. Clean Pool Bottom Invest in a long-handled brush and brush the dirt off the bottom of the pool. Pay special attention the sides and crevices where dirt may have collected over the past week. Brush any dirt as close to the drain as possible so it can be vacuumed easily. Once you have cleaned the bottom of the pool, place your vacuum into the water before hooking it to the filter. If you wish, you can keep your vacuum in the pool at the same time you're swimming in the pool. Check and Clean Filters Clean out each filter in your pool on a weekly basis. There are three different filters you need to clean. Filters can become dirty quickly over time, especially during seasons when the pool is used on a regular basis. Make sure to follow the manufacturer's instruction on how to clean these filters to ensure they are working properly. Cleaning the Water Test the water in your pool weekly and more frequently when the pool is in use more often. Add any chemicals, if necessary, to make sure the pool water is clean. A regular shock treatment of the water will cleanse the water of any dirt, algae, and bacteria that collects over time. To purchase any chemicals for your water, contact any Fort Worth pool service company.
