Pool Maintenance FAQ's
Q: How often should I maintain my pool to keep it in great condition?
A: To maintain clear water and extend the life of your pool, we suggest scheduling maintenance on a weekly basis. A typical service visit includes:
- Skimming leaves and debris, brushing walls as necessary
- Testing and adjusting water chemistry
- Cleaning and inspecting filters
- Verifying proper operation of pumps and other equipment
- Checking for signs of leaks or damage
If your pool sees heavy use or is located near trees, more frequent servicing may be necessary.
Q: What chemicals do I need to maintain my pool?
A: Keeping your pool water clean, balanced, and safe requires the right combination of chemicals Here's what you'll need:
- Chlorine or Bromine – Eliminates bacteria and algae
- pH Adjusters (Increaser/Decreaser) – Keeps pH within the ideal range of 7.2–7.6
- Alkalinity Increaser – Helps stabilize pH levels
- Calcium Hardness Increaser – Protects pool surfaces and equipment from corrosion
- Shock Treatment (as needed) – Clears up contaminants and restores water clarity
- Algaecide (optional) – Helps prevent and control algae growth
- Clarifier (optional) – Binds fine particles to make filtration more effective
- Enzymes (optional) – Break down organic contaminants, allowing chlorine or bromine to work more efficiently
Do you need help getting the balance just right? We offer professional in-store water testing to help keep your pool perfectly maintained.
Q: How should I properly winterize my pool in Connecticut?
A: Proper winterization is essential to protect your pool from freeze damage during harsh Connecticut winters. We recommend the following steps:
- Balance the water chemistry before closing to ensure clean, stable water.
- Lower the water level to avoid freeze-related damage (to the bottom of the skimmer for vinyl pools, and 18–20 inches below for Gunite or concrete pools).
- Drain all pool equipment—including pumps, filters, and heaters—according to the manufacturer’s winterizing instructions.
- Blow out all plumbing lines using a professional-grade winterizing blower (available for daily or weekly rental).
- Add winterizing chemicals such as pool shock, a sequestering agent, winter algaecide, and antifreeze for the lines to prevent algae growth and scaling.
- Secure a high-quality winter cover to keep debris out and protect your pool surface.
- Monitor water levels throughout winter—ensure water stays below the tile line in Gunite pools and doesn’t rise into the skimmer in vinyl pools.
