This Year’s Pool Inspection Checklist

One of your most important responsibilities as a pool owner is performing regular pool maintenance to make sure your pool is always in tip-top shape. While maintenance is important almost any time of year, it becomes particularly vital leading up to the increased usage of spring and summer.

Regular pool inspections can help you catch any developing problems and will make sure you’re always able to enjoy a refreshing swim. Read more about this year’s checklist for swimming pool inspections and find out why inspecting your pool is easier with a pool professional on your side.

After the fall and winter, it’s typical for your pool to have experienced at least some degree of debris build-up, which is why addressing this debris is the first item on your pool inspection checklist. First, you should check your skimmer baskets or debris traps to see if they are clogged. If they are, empty hem. Second, take a skimmer net and remove both floating debris and anything that has sunk to the bottom of your pool.

Getting rid of this debris first will make the rest of the pool inspection and cleaning process much easier.

Your pool filter is the most important tool for keeping your pool clean, which is why maintaining it is a vital portion of all swimming pool inspections. Take a close look at your filter media and see how contaminated it is. In addition, check the pressure on your filter gauge. If the media has experienced significant debris build-up or the filter pressure is too high, you will need to backwash your filter. Backwashing restores free flow and your filter’s normal functioning.

Keeping your pool clean depends on maintaining a delicate balance of cleaning chemicals in your water. If you leave your chemical levels unchecked, they can easily become unbalanced and result in a dirty pool. During any pool inspection, you should make you check your pool chemistry to determine if it’s still in balance. If your chemistry has become unbalanced, you will need to adjust return your chemistry to its recommended level.

If you’re an experienced pool owner, then you know how crucial it is to keep your pool from stagnating, which means keeping water flowing to the pool pump. Your pool inspection should include an in-depth examination of your pool pump, including checking the plumbing for leaks and making sure the connections are secure.
