Facts About 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.

Technicians keep water chemistry in balance. No need to test the water, purchase and lug home buckets of chlorine. Service technicians keep pools clean of debris and algae. They clean and maintain filters, pumps, drains, and automated systems. Your swimming structure or spa is kept ready and safe for use.

A standard maintenance agreement usually includes testing and balancing water chemistry, emptying skimmer baskets, cleaning filters, vacuuming sediment and debris from the bottom, brushing sides of the pool, and checking that all equipment is running efficiently.

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.

During the swimming season, pumps and filters should run 8-12 hours a day to keep chemicals dispersed. Filters capture leaves, dirt, and debris. Water and electricity are a deadly combination if equipment is not properly grounded and connected. Certified technicians will safely install, maintain, repair, replace electrical components.

Decks get slippery with age. Sometimes algae builds up. Decks should be pressure washed yearly and sealed to provide a textured and slip resistant surface. Drains are another safety issue. Pumps generate enough suction to trap and drown a child. It's a necessity to have dual suction main drains and proper use of main drain lids is essential.

The change of seasons requires special care. Summer service needs include removal of covers, lubricate and test equipment, test and adjust water chemistry, remove debris, vacuum, clean tile, and pressure wash decks. In the winter, technicians disconnect equipment, clean and blow out all pipes, clean filters, add anti-freeze and winter chemicals, lower the water level, and install the winter cover.

Technicians also maintain the appearance of the structure and the surrounding deck area. They repair and install lighting. A professional tile cleaning job can save pool owners from what they thought would be an expensive tile replacement job. Before having a swimming structure resurfaced, an economical option may be an acid wash that removes algae and stains and can restore luster to an older structure.

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.
