Don’t let Newport Beach pool service problems or broken equipment turn your pool into a hassle and headache. With just a few simple steps, you can have a pool that’s a pleasure to enjoy all year long.

Landscape Appropriately

So, if you don’t want to spend time skimming leaves and flowers from your pool area, choose your landscape wisely.  Xeriscape is not only easy to maintain and requires little water, it produces very little litter as well. If xeriscape isn’t your thing, then go for as many evergreens as possible. Only deciduous plants shed their leaves. If they don’t shed, it can’t end up in your pool.

Keep Tennis Balls in Pool

It may seem crazy, but keeping a few tennis balls floating in your pool helps keep the water clean. Suntan lotion and body oils all come off swimmers as they play, lounge or soak in the pool. If left unchecked, these oils can reduce the life of your filters and cause scum on the tile at the waterline. Just toss in a couple of tennis balls and they will float and attract and trap these oils. When the balls look dirty, toss them out or toss them to the dog and replace with fresh tennis balls.

Keep Pets Out

Keeping pets out of the pool helps keep the water and filter clean. Your sanitizer lasts longer as well. Not only is the chlorine bad for the dog’s skin and fur, the fur is bad for the pool. If your dog swims with you, your filters will need replacing or backwashing more often. It’s a tradeoff you must make.

Inspect Equipment Regularly

Get acquainted with your pool equipment. All mechanical devices make some noise. Be familiar with the regular noise so you will immediately recognize a noise that is odd.

Also inspect the area around the pump, filters and heaters regularly for signs of leak. You shouldn’t see water in the equipment area unless the equipment was recently serviced.
