Pool resurfacing maintenance tips
Following pool resurfacing, proper maintenance is vital to prolonging its longevity and appearance. Here are some essential maintenance tips:
1. Establish a Recurring Cleaning Routine: Create a regular pool-cleaning schedule to prevent dirt, debris and algae build-up in your pool. Skim the surface daily to remove leaves and other floating debris; scrub walls and floor of pool at least once weekly using pool brush; skimming is also helpful to preventing accumulations of dirt and algae build-up.
2. Balance Water Chemistry: Regularly test water chemistry and maintain balance by testing pH levels, alkalinity levels, and sanitizer concentration levels. Aiming for balanced chemistry will help avoid staining, scaling or other surface issues which might reduce staining and scaling issues in your pool surface.
3. Monitor and Maintain Filtration System: Your pool’s filtration system plays an integral role in keeping its waters sanitary and clear, so regularly inspect and clean it to ensure optimal function. Follow manufacturer recommendations regarding backwashing or replacing filter media as required.
4. Avoid Harsh Chemicals and Abrasive Cleaning Tools: To preserve the newly resurfaced pool surface, avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaning tools which could potentially cause damage or staining to its surfaces. Instead use pool-safe cleaning products designed for pool surfaces along with nonabrasive tools specially suited for them.
5. Be Aware of Pool Water Level: Ensuring an appropriate water level in your pool will allow its skimmers and circulation system to function properly is key for optimal functioning of equipment such as skimmers. Too little or too much water may strain equipment while too much could lead to overflow and potential water damage issues.
6. Monitor for Surface Damage: Make regular inspections of the pool surface to look for signs of cracks or chips, so as to address any potential water leakage issues immediately and prevent further damage or further deterioration. Consult with a professional if any significant deterioration or significant changes occur that warrant further evaluation.
7. Consider Regular Pool Maintenance Services: Engaging professional pool maintenance services can ensure the upkeep of your pool is taken care of effectively, such as chemical balancing, equipment inspections and thorough cleanings; giving you peace of mind that comes from having an aesthetically pleasing pool without the added headaches or worries associated with DIY maintenance tasks.
8. Take Steps to Safeguard the Pool Surface: Take steps to shield your pool surface from potential damage by avoiding heavy or sharp objects dragging across its surface, being cautious when using pool toys or equipment that might scratch or mar its finish, and considering pool covers when not in use to limit exposure to weather elements.
By following these maintenance tips, you can help maintain the condition and appearance of your newly resurfaced pool, making sure it will continue to provide an inviting space.
