Crystal Clear Water
All year round, sticks, leaves and debris find their way into swimming pools. Keeping up with skimming off these unwanted presents from mother nature can be a tedious task. However it’s important to stay on top of the cleanliness of your pool all year round even when it is not being used during winter. If it is left dirty for weeks or months at a time the debris starts to break down and can contaminate your water to the point that it’s not safe to swim in. Something often looked over by DIY pool cleaners is scrubbing the edges where the water level meets the tiles.
This area is prone to a build up of grime that needs regular attention to stay clean. If you are attempting this yourself make sure to double check other areas with poor water circulation such as the stairs or ladders as mould tends to thrive in such spots. We have a monthly swimming pool maintenance service available that includes scooping and vacuuming all unwanted floaties, adding chlorine and testing PH alkalinity, tile scrubbing, emptying/repairing filters and green pool algae treatment. The best way to keep your friends and family safe whilst using the pool in spring ssummer, is to keep it in a fresh and sterile condition all year round. This way when the sun comes out you don’t have to worry about having a green pool with a bunch of bugs floating around on the surface.
Filter Cleaning & Repairs
Your swimming pools filter system is an integral part of keeping fresh and well balanced water. Regular checks on the cleanliness and efficiency of your filter will help increase it’s life span and save you money in the long term. Replacing a filter can be a costly experience which we can help you avoid with regular check ups. The filters right hand man is the pool pump. Just like your heart pumps blood around your body and your liver filters out the salt and alcohol, your pool pump circulates water through the filter and cleans out unwanted contaminants. Knowing this you can imagine how much residue builds up inside the cartridge of these filters. If left unattended the system cannot function properly or in some cases will break and require replacement.
If you have several trees and bushes near your pool or hanging over the water you may want to consider a pool vacuum to help your filter stay on top of the extra debris. Depending on what kind of plants you have in your backyard and even your neighbor’s yard you may find certain leaves sink to the bottom and escape your filtration system. This is where a robotic vacuum comes in handy by sucking these pieces out before they break down and start changing the colour of your pool water. In general an automatic pool cleaner is more expensive than a manually controlled one. However as the name suggests the ‘robotic’ cleaners move around the bottom of your pool or spa autonomously which saves you doing it by hand.
Chlorine & PH Testing
If the inner walls of your swimming pool have discolouration patches that seem impossible to remove just by scrubbing. You may need to consider an acid wash for your pool. Acid washing is not something that is done regularly and can actually damage your tiles or concrete if done incorrectly. If you’re wondering ‘how to acid wash my pool’ you’ve come to the right place! We have years of experience with this intensive cleaning method with almost every type of pool surface. We’ll give you a quick overview of how it is done but this is something that is best left to the professionals lest you permanently bleach your pool walls.
Also known as a ‘drain and clean’, an acid wash involves completely draining your swimming pool, then soaking the walls in a highly corrosive mineral called muriatic acid. It needs to be mixed correctly with water, splashed onto the desired area and the promptly removed. Leaving this mixture on for too long can eat into the sides of your pool and cause long term damage. After doing the whole pool, one 3-4 meter section at a time, we have to neutralise the walls with soda ash to ensure no acid remains inside. See our partner pool cleaning St George. This will leave a foaming puddle in the deep end which must also be completely removed before re-filling your pool with water and balancing the PH with salt or chlorine. If attempting this yourself be sure to wear protective goggles, masks, gloves and even boots to ensure no acid touches your skin. As you can probably sense this is not something most people risk doing themselves. This sounds like an expensive task but can actually done for a few hundred dollars depending on the size and state of your pool or spa.
