Sunbathing, cannonball contests, colorful floats,…pool maintenance? Without a doubt, pool maintenance is not the most exciting part of owning a backyard pool, but it is necessary for the fun to continue. In addition, many pool owners fear the cost to maintain a pool. While the cost to maintain a pool varies based on pool size, pool type, equipment, etc., most backyard pools typically require somewhere between $100 and $300 for an individual to maintain each month. Let us explain the different components of pool maintenance that create this price tag and an easy, affordable alternative.
Regular Cleaning
One of the most important and perhaps most obvious tasks in pool maintenance is to keep the pool clean. The opponents to a pool being squeaky clean include debris falling into the pool, such as leaves and twigs and scum, algae, or other build-up that forms on the pool’s interior. Cleaning a pool involves regularly skimming debris from the surface of the water, vacuuming the bottom of the pool, and brushing the walls and tile.
Water Chemistry
Maintaining proper water chemistry is essential for keeping your pool clean and safe for swimming. This involves testing the water regularly and adjusting the chemical levels as needed to keep the pH, alkalinity, and sanitizer levels in the appropriate range. At A-Quality Pools, we carry the best pool chemicals. Stop by our store in North Richland Hills to stock up.
Equipment Maintenance
Your pool equipment, including the pump, filter, and heater, will require regular maintenance to keep them functioning properly. This may include cleaning or replacing filters, checking for leaks, and lubricating moving parts.
Winterizing
With the mild winters we have in Texas, closing your pool for winter is optional. If you choose to winterize your pool, it involves draining the water and preparing the pool and equipment for winter storage. However, if you choose to keep your pool open all year along, stop by A-Quality Pools for a pool heater to keep pool water comfortable for swimming in the cooler months.
Repairs and Renovations
Over time, your pool may require repairs or renovations, such as replacing broken tiles, installing a more energy-efficient pump, or upgrading to the pool of your dreams. It’s important to stay on top of pool repairs to ensure that your pool remains safe for users. Additionally, contact our team to learn more about our pool renovation options.
