Even if you’re not actively using your swimming pool, you may still need regular maintenance. Chlorine loses effectiveness as it kills bacteria and pathogens. Swimming pools are naturally exposed to contaminates almost constantly. Even if you have a pool cover or an indoor pool, microscopic organisms and contaminants are most likely inside.
You should still ensure your pool isn’t getting a build up of dirt and debris such as leaves and sticks. In addition, you’ll want to test and balance the water monthly at a minimum. The last thing anyone wants is to go on vacation and come back to a sick, green pool that takes several days to get under control.
If you are taking an extended vacation, simply let us know and we can discuss keeping your regular pool maintenance schedule or shifting to a new pool service schedule until you’re ready to use your pool once more.
