5 professional pool cleaning service tips
If you want to clean your pool like a true professional, we share 5 recommendations from Blue Life’s pool cleaning service team in Florida. Follow our tips for a professional cleaning!
1. Turn off the timer on the pool pump
The first step is to turn off the timer and the pool pump. Make sure they are properly turned off (when you do this you should hear a click and the pressure release when the pump turns off). When you have completed this step then it is time to start cleaning the pool.
2. Clean the filter safely
The cleaning of the pool filter depends on the type of filter. There are several types of filters: quad filters, cartridge filters, sand filters, etc. If you have any doubts about the cleaning of the filter once you know its type, you can consult the recommendations of the manufacturer’s manual. You can also contact us and we will help you with the pool filter cleaning service in Florida.
3. Clean the pool tiles
To clean the tiles, it is important to select a tile brush that can be used with soap. Remember that soap may contain muriatic acid and can cause stains, so you should never use soap directly. It is best to use the brush to clean each tile, starting from the skimmer and continuing around the pool.
It is key to brush from top to bottom to clean each tile well, including the corners because this is where algae tends to grow. Check as you clean that you are doing a good job and that no tile is left uncleaned when you are finished.
4. Use a surface net
It is possible to collect debris and other debris from the surface of the pool water with a special surface net for this purpose. To make the job easier, collect the debris by following the flow of the water. And once the net is full, empty the debris in a suitable place to prevent it from re-contaminating what you have cleaned.
5. Properly brush the pool walls
The pool walls must be brushed with the correct technique: you have to stand at the edge of the pool to start scrubbing the bottom with the brush. But be careful with leaning over or you could hurt your back, ideally you should bend your knees and make overlapping movements.
Repeat the process for all the walls and when you reach the steps of the pool, you should also clean each one of them to remove excess dirt. Although you have to be careful when cleaning the stairs because if they are old they can cause accidents, so it is recommended to scrub gently under and behind them. Likewise, be very careful when brushing around the lights and never pass the brush over them because over time they tend to loosen.
And as a last step, use a pool cleaning net to collect any debris that may have been left in the pool after cleaning. For this you have to repeat step four, and if the pool has an earth or sand filter it is important to check the water level.
Also keep in mind that after cleaning the water must be chemically treated to ensure health and to be able to have fun with peace of mind while swimming. And finally, remember that if you need help cleaning your pool, Blue Life’s pool cleaning service is available in Florida, Tampa.
