About Swimming Pool Cleaning
Ask About Chemical Testing
Never hire someone who only adds chlorine blindly. Pros use test strips or liquid reagents to measure free chlorine, pH, and alkalinity. pH should stay between 7.2 and 7.6. Alkalinity must hover around 80 to 120 ppm. If they skip testing, your pool will become acidic or corrosive, etching plaster and damaging metal ladders within 6 months.
Frequency Depends on Your Climate
In hot, humid areas, weekly service prevents green water. Colder regions often need cleaning only every 2 weeks or monthly. Dust, pollen, and tree debris load the system faster. If your pool is under oak or cedar trees, expect heavier leaf loading. Ask the pro to note your specific seasonal peaks for scheduling adjustments.
Water Levels and Evaporation
Check if your pool level sits 3 to 6 inches below the top of the skimmer. Low water reduces skimmer efficiency, letting bugs and leaves bypass the system. High water overflows during rain, wasting treated chemicals. Ask if the service includes topping off water or if you must handle it separately to avoid overflows.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
Do not hire someone who rushes the vacuuming. Proper vacuuming takes 10 to 15 minutes per session. If they finish in 5 minutes, they are missing corners and step areas where dirt settles. Also, reject cleaners who do not check the pump seal. A small leak now becomes a $500 motor replacement soon.
Check for Calcium Scale Removal
Inspect the tile line for white crusty deposits. This indicates high calcium hardness. Professionals use acidic treatments to dissolve these minerals. If ignored, the scale bonds permanently to the plaster. Removal becomes expensive and requires specialized tools to avoid damaging the pool surface.
Confirm Water Treatment for Algae Prevention
Green or black algae spots indicate a chemical imbalance. Ask about shock treatments and algaecides. Chlorine alone may not kill resistant algae strains. A good pro combines oxidation with phosphate removal to stop algae from returning within days of the cleaning session.
Ask About Water Level Adjustment Methods
Water levels drop due to evaporation and spillage. If the level falls below the skimmer opening, the pump loses prime. This causes dry running and potential damage. Ask how they manage this. They may top up with clean water or adjust the intake valve.
Confirm Insurance and Liability Coverage
Mistakes happen. Pumps get damaged or chemicals are mixed incorrectly. Verify the pro carries general liability insurance. This protects you from paying for accidental damage to your equipment. Ask for a certificate before the first visit. Do not skip this verification step.
Verify Tile and Plaster Condition
Look for cracks, spalling, or rough spots on the pool surface. A good cleaner assesses structural integrity before scrubbing. If the plaster is gritty, they might recommend acid washing, which strips the top layer. This takes 2 to 3 hours and requires draining the pool to 3 inches below the skimmer line.
Lighting and Equipment Troubleshooting
Many cleaners check underwater lights and return jets. Faulty transforme rs buzz, indicating a short circuit. Return jets should push water horizontally, not stir up settled silt. If jets are misaligned, they disturb the pool floor, causing clouds of dirt. Realignment takes 20 minutes and saves you from constant vacuuming.
