Keep Pools And Hot Tubs Ready For Use With Pool Service Southampton

By Jaclyn Hurley


For a crystal clear pool that is ecologically sound, hire pool service Southampton, NY. Trained and certified technicians maintain safe and beautiful swimming structures and hot tubs. They, make repairs, and renovate aging surfaces. They offer weekly or monthly service, seasonal services, or major maintenance.

Service technicians add chemicals and chlorine to keep water clear, clean, and safe. They clean algae and debris from water surfaces, the sides and floor of the structure. They empty filter baskets, check drains, check and maintain equipment. Technicians bring all the chemicals with them. No need for homeowners to purchase, lug home, and find storage for buckets of chlorine and chemicals.

Basic tasks included in a weekly service contract are testing water chemistry, adding chemicals as needed, emptying and cleaning filters and skimmer baskets, brushing sides of the structure, skimming water surfaces, vacuuming debris from the bottom of the structure, checking and maintaining pumps and automated systems.

Water quality is not just chlorine content. Technicians test for temperature, dissolved solids, cyanuric acid, alkalinity, pH, and calcium hardness. The warm temperature of a spa is a paradise for bacteria if water chemistry isn't carefully controlled. Large structures require special care to be certain chemicals are distributed evenly throughout. High concentrations of chlorine and other chemicals are irritating to eyes and skin.

Filters and pumps distribute essential chemicals throughout the water. During swim season they should run 8-12 hours to keep water chemicals distributed, and to capture leaves and other debris. It's critically important that electrical systems be properly connected and grounded. This is a task that must be done by a certified technician for everyone's safety.

Pool Pumps are very powerful, powerful enough to to trap and drown children if not designed and covered properly. Technicians will make sure you have dual suction drains and that drain lids are installed and maintained properly. Another safety issue is slippery decks. Service technicians can power wash your deck, generally once a year is recommended. Decks can also be professionally sealed with a textured, slip resistant surface.

Before swimmers are allowed in the water, make sure summer service has been completed. This includes removal of covers, lubrication and testing of equipment, testing and treating for proper water chemistry, cleaning debris from the water, cleaning the structure, cleaning the deck and/or tile. After closing the pool be sure equipment is disconnected, and filters and pipes are cleaned. Reduce the water level and add anti-freeze, then install the winter cover. Or call your local pool service technician for expert seasonal service.

Before replacing tile or refinishing pool surfaces, consult with a certified technician. Very often a professional cleaning can bring tiles back to their original beauty. An acid wash is often sufficient to remove stains and restore luster to sides and bottom of an aging swimming structure. Technicians also install and repair pool lighting.

Certified professionals can offer advice on energy saving options to reduce the cost of maintaining a swimming structure or a hot tub. Recent years have seen major upgrades available in high efficiency gas and electric heaters, variable speed pumps, and automatic controllers. Other services offered include troubleshooting, equipment maintenance, upgrades and repairs, leak detection and repair, drain cover replacement.
