6 Benefits to Our Pool Cleaning Service

Year-Round Pool Cleaning Services

Spring, summer, fall, winter. That’s four reasons for weekly pool and spa cleaning rolled into one. But Central Austin’s seasonality affects your swimming pool in big ways.

Cold
The Austin area is not immune to freezing temperatures. The expansion of frozen water damages pipes, valves, filters, heaters, and pumps. This can be especially destructive and expensive to repair. Do you have pool freeze protection in place?

Wind
The wind can wreak havoc for Austin pool owners beyond leaves and dirt. High winds also carry smaller particles such as pollen, algae, dust, and phosphates. Your entire pool maintenance system requires attention on windy days. You might consider an automatic cover if you don’t already have one. Let us know if you want an estimate.

Heat
The hottest months in Central Austin cause challenges for pool owners. High temperatures create perfect conditions for algae growth. The UV rays of the sun degrade and dissipate chlorine. Plant matter scorched in the heat also contributes to algae and increased debris.

Rain
Runoff from the roof, siding, deck, sidewalk, and landscaping contaminate your pool. Rainwater also contains phosphates and nitrates you don’t want in the pool water. After a good rain, check the water chemistry to be sure it is safe for use. A poorly maintained pool could take days or weeks to recover.

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions: Pool Cleaning and Maintenance

How often should my pool be cleaned?

For most Austin pools, weekly service is the right call from late spring through early fall. Heat burns through chlorine fast, and summer storm runoff regularly shifts pH and introduces algae spores. During cooler months when the pool sees lighter use, every two weeks is often sufficient. The right answer depends on your pool size, how much you use it, and what your water chemistry looks like between visits.

What does a pool inspection include?

A professional pool inspection covers the condition of the shell, coping, and tile, along with all equipment including the pump, filter, heater, and plumbing for visible leaks or wear. Water chemistry is tested, safety features are checked, and you receive a written summary of anything that needs attention now or in the near future.

How soon after adding chemicals can I go swimming?

It depends on what chemicals are added, but a generally you should wait 24 hours after a shock treatment so chlorine level has time to normalize.

How long should I run my pool in the summer months?

Typically during the summer and hotter weather, it should run for at least 12 hours/day during daylight hours. For a pool to fully filter, 4 times the amount of water must be moved through the filter to achieve a 98% filtration rate, and this takes about 12 hours.

Why is chlorine added to a salt water pool?

A salt water pool still needs chlorine. The difference is that the salt makes free chlorine instead of from a pressed tablet. This chlorine only accounts for the residual chlorine. A salt system cannot shock the pool, which is the process of sanitizing the water. During hot weather, and more pool usage,  the salt cells may not be able to make enough chlorine to keep up with the demand.

How frequently does a pool need to be backwashed?

A pool should be backwashed when the filter pressure gets 8-10 lbs above your pools clean starting pressure.

Is it a problem if the pool is too full or too low?

It is not a problem for a pool to be fuller, as it should be fuller rather than too empty. When it rains, the water is only coming over the edge as fast as it is raining. Having the pool too full will not damage pool equipment or cause extra strain to the pool. If the water level is higher than the top of the skimmer, it will not suck the leaves or debris as effectively. A lower water level is more problematic because if it sucks dry, it will ruin the pump.

Why does my pool appear to not be moving water?

The three most common reasons are a dirty filter, a dirty skimmer or pump pot baskets, or a clogged impeller. Your YardDoc rep would be happy to help find out the problem and fix it.

Why did my heater suddenly stop working?

The pool probably has low water flow caused by the water not moving.

How do I keep my pool safe and comply with pool safety code?

Swimming pools are all about fun and exercise – as long as you enjoy them safely! Ensure your pool has a built-in, multi-layered safety protection approach. YardDoc can help when needed with an evaluation of your Austin Pool Safety Code compliance. Pool safety begins with fencing, entrapment reduction, chemical management, electrical safety, non-slip surfaces, water temperature, and more.

Should I winterize my pool?

In Texas, there is little need to winterize a pool as temperatures do not get low enough for long enough to warrant this. There are, however, some steps that YardDoc recommends during the cooler months, such as changing from regular to liquid chlorine to reduce stabilizer build-up.

How do I prevent or get rid of algae in my swimming pool?

Algae spores are generally carried into your pool by the wind or rain. When conditions are favorable for the algae, a bloom can occur, and your pool can turn green in a matter of hours. Pool algae is a sign that the water chemistry is not under control. Therefore, more dangerous organisms, like E-coli bacteria, could be present. The key to preventing algae is meticulous pool maintenance.

How do I know if my pool is leaking?

A leaking in-ground pool erodes support walls and causes damage to the pool’s structure, deck, surrounding landscaping, and pool equipment. You’ll also find yourself frequently refilling the pool for a significant increase in your water bill and chemical costs. Pool Leak Detection includes signs of water loss, cracking around the deck, and soil saturation around the pool.
