How Full-Service Pool Cleaning Can Save You Time and Money
While jumping into a pool at home is an enjoyable part of the day for people of all ages, what really sucks is the maintenance!
To keep the water clear and ensure your pool ecosystem runs throughout the year, maintenance is something you just cannot forgo.
But, all is not doom and gloom! With professional pool services companies like Refresh Pool, you don't have to worry about maintenance schedules and high costs.
But first, let's take some time to understand the challenges of maintaining a pool by yourself.
Drawbacks of DIY Pool Maintenance
1. Spending Valuable Time
Pool maintenance by yourself does sound great on paper, and to some extent, might even be possible given the right circumstances. But for a majority of homeowners, it might be just too much on their plate. Not everyone has the time to carry out weekly pool maintenance to keep your pool clean and in good shape. Checking pipes, equipment, chemical levels, and more can all add up. And let's not even get started on cleaning out filters and lubricating them!
2. Mistakes Can Be Expensive
And the worst part of DIY maintenance is that even a slight error during maintenance can result in really expensive repairs. And sometimes, mistakes don't seem apparent at first glance and will snowball into a really high repair bill. There are several things that can go wrong with DIY maintenance including over or under-chlorination, pH imbalance, cracked pipes, or pump/filter damage. Calling in a repair agency for emergency fixes can result in a really hard-to-swallow number on your repair invoice!
3. Chances for Improper Installation
People with no experience when it comes to pool equipment are bound to make mistakes when installing replacement parts. Again, this can result in a lot of damage to your pool setup, some of which may even be irreversible. Improperly fitted pump bodies, filter elements, and pool covers are all common mishaps with DIY pool maintenance. Perhaps the most dangerous of all of them is trying to repair wiring by yourself with little to no experience. This can result in electrical hazards which can even be lethal.
Benefits of Full-Service Pool Cleaning and Maintenance
1. Get Everything in One Place
A key advantage of having pool repairs handled by a professional agency like Refresh Pool is that you get all pool services under one roof. They can take care of anything pool related including weekly cleaning, vacuuming, and skimming. In addition to this, they also ensure that the pool's water is chemically balanced which makes it safer for people to use it throughout the year. All your pool equipment will be regularly inspected and changed as and when it's required.
2. Prevents Costly Repairs
Something that you can look forward to with professional pool services is preemptive care and replacements. Since they're experienced, they have a knack for identifying issues that can become expensive to fix later. This can considerably reduce ownership and maintenance costs of a pool. They also replace pump and filter elements when they get dirty or break to ensure that your water is crystal clear and safe. Regular checks ensure that there is no scale or algae buildup.
3. Reduces Chemical Use
One of the biggest issues with DIY pool maintenance is the use of chemicals without understanding their impact. Opting for more chemicals than needed in your pool water can cause health issues and is expensive. This is where an agency can make a difference. Professionals measure exactly what is needed for the pool taking into consideration many factors. This can create a much safer pool experience for people using it and lowers long-term costs.
4. Consistent Cleaning Schedule
With the breakneck speed of daily life, there are bound to be times when pool cleaning is just not on your priority list. Or there are times when you simply forgot! But with an agency handling your schedule, missed maintenance sessions are the problem of the past. At Refresh Pool, we have a system that sends you messages in advance so you can be ready for the pool cleaning at your convenience.
5. Water Testing and Treatment
It is vital to have regular water testing and treatment when you own a pool. Refresh Pool conducts weekly pH and Chlorine checks to ensure safe use for people. We take the utmost care to ensure that the growth of algae and other undesirable elements is kept to a minimum while keeping the water as low in chemicals as possible. Always get crystal-clear water from your pool cleaning professionals at Refresh Pool!
