In the swimming pool industry, there is no higher priority than pool safety. With this being said, there is nothing more important than getting necessary swimming pool repairs. Annually, across America there are numerous preventable swimming pool related accidents. However, accidents can be reduced (and lives may be saved) with Alpharetta swimming pool repairs , proper pool maintenance .

One of the most important parts of proper pool safety is the focus on pool chemicals. They can be extremely harmful to the occupants in the pool and your pool alike, especially if they are expired. Before starting your spring pool opening, make sure you have all of the necessary pool chemicals and safety products on hand. All expired pool chemicals should be properly disposed of. All pool chemicals being stored should always be placed at or below eye level and in a dry, cool place. In addition, the area the chemicals are being stored needs to be well ventilated. Never store chemicals in direct sunlight. Do not store acids and pool oxidizers near each other because if the oxidizer is combined with acid, a dangerous chlorine gas can be emitted. Last, but not least, in order to prevent contamination of the swimming pool chemicals; don’t stack the containers.

After such a harsh winter in the Atlanta area this year, it is critical for pool owners to check all pool products and components for cracks, tears, breaks, and unusual wear. Visually inspect everything and have all swimming pool repairs made prior to allowing anyone to swim in the water. Water outlets, skimmer lids, and drain covers should be checked for cracks during the pool opening. Tighten up all loose outlets. Get your local pool experts to come in for the replacement of broken and/or cracked pool parts. The professionals will make sure the correct make, model, and size is used for your specific swimming pool and they will test the water to ensure chemicals are properly balanced.

Pool fences, safety covers, nets, and all other safety equipment should be properly inspected during the pool opening. Clean, update, and perform maintenance needed on all equipment and pool parts. The safety cover should be checked for tears or holes. Any hole that is large enough for a small child to put a limb through is too big to use. Safety nets should never be stood on or walked on.
