The best time for pool maintenance is all year, every week. Regular weekly pool maintenance keeps the water safe and catches problems early. On top of that, a few times of year call for extra attention: get the pool checked and cleaned before swim season starts, and closed or switched to winter care when it ends. Spring and fall are also the best seasons for bigger jobs like resurfacing and tile repair, when the pool is not in heavy use. And if your yard has lots of trees, you may need deeper cleanings more often.
At Clear Tec Pools, our team holds the Certified Pool Operator (CPO) designation and has years of hands-on experience with pools in Hoschton and nearby cities. We pay attention to the details and use professional equipment to keep your water clean and safe for children and older swimmers alike.
Beyond the seasons, there are special occasions when a professional cleaning before the event is well worth it. Here are some of them.
4 Times You Should Book Pool Maintenance
Birthday Party
What is more fun than a pool birthday party? Add ping-pong, a barbecue, pizza and games, and you have a day everyone remembers. Book a pool cleaning beforehand so every guest can swim safely. The water needs balanced pH and chlorine; otherwise swimmers may get irritated eyes and skin, or stomach upsets from germs in the water.
Summer Party
Summer parties are everyone’s favorite, and if you have a pool, your home is probably the go-to spot. It is a great way to spend time with friends and family over a barbecue. With lots of people in the water, a thorough cleaning beforehand makes sure everyone stays safe.
With children and older guests there, the last thing you want is cloudy, smelly or dirty water. A clean pool is part of being a good host.
Engagement Party
Planning a proposal or an engagement party with friends and family? A poolside setting makes it intimate and fun. Since it is a once-in-a-lifetime event, have the pool cleaned and the water checked a day or two beforehand, so it looks its best in every photo.
Graduation Party
Summer is full of graduation parties, and a pool makes yours stand out. Book a pool cleaning ahead of time so the pool is spotless and ready. Graduation is a big achievement, and celebrating it by the pool over a great dinner is hard to beat. For more party prep, see our pool party checklist.
Conclusion
Wondering when to book pool service? The answer is now, and then every week. Your pool should be clean and ready for swimming at any time of year. Plan bigger repairs or resurfacing for spring or fall, and book extra cleanings before big events. You can clean the pool yourself, but professional service takes your pool to a whole new level.
Frequently Asked Questions
How often does a pool need to be cleaned?
Every week, so dirt and debris do not build up and the water stays free of germs. Weekly professional service is the easiest way to keep the water quality where it should be.
What happens if you swim in an unclean pool?
Dirty pool water can spread recreational water illnesses, including skin and ear infections, irritation, diarrhea and respiratory infections. Keep the pool clean and balanced to protect everyone who swims.
Is cleaning a pool hard?
Not if you have the right equipment and a routine. Run the pump around 8 hours a day (it can be split into morning and evening runs), skim, brush, vacuum and test the water weekly. Still, a professional gets the pool cleaner faster, with the right technique and years of experience.
