Top Tips for Maintaining Your Custom Pool

Owning a custom pool is a luxury, but maintaining it is essential to ensure its beauty and functionality for years to come. Proper pool maintenance prevents costly repairs, keeps the water safe, and ensures your pool remains a source of relaxation and enjoyment. At Kingswood Outdoors, we not only build stunning pools but also provide expert advice on how to care for them.

Weekly Pool Maintenance Essentials

1. Skim and Clean the Surface
Debris like leaves and bugs can accumulate on the water’s surface, affecting the pool’s cleanliness and filtration. Use a skimmer net daily or weekly to remove debris and keep your pool sparkling.

2. Test and Balance Water Chemistry
Maintaining proper water chemistry is critical for safety and comfort. Test your pool’s pH, chlorine, and alkalinity levels weekly. The ideal pH range is between 7.2 and 7.6, ensuring balanced and clear water.

3. Brush and Vacuum the Pool Walls
Algae and dirt can cling to your pool’s surfaces, especially in hard-to-reach corners. Brush the walls and vacuum the pool floor weekly to prevent buildup and maintain a polished look.

Monthly Pool Maintenance Tips

1. Inspect Your Pool Equipment
Check the pump, filter, and heater monthly to ensure they are functioning efficiently. Look for signs of wear or unusual noises and address them promptly to avoid costly repairs.

2. Clean the Filter System
A clogged filter reduces your pool’s circulation and can lead to murky water. Clean or replace your filter system monthly to ensure optimal performance.

3. Shock Your Pool Water
Shocking your pool helps remove contaminants and restore water clarity. This process involves adding a high concentration of chlorine to eliminate bacteria and algae.

Seasonal Pool Care Tips

1. Winterizing Your Pool
Before colder months, winterize your pool by lowering the water level, covering the pool, and properly storing equipment. This protects it from freezing temperatures and reduces the need for off-season maintenance.

2. Spring Startup
When reopening your pool, inspect for any damage, clean thoroughly, and rebalance the water chemistry. Schedule a professional inspection if needed to ensure everything is in top condition.
