When it comes to pool safety, there’s more to it than just vigilant supervision and safety equipment. There’s another aspect of pool safety that is often overlooked: water quality.
At Blue Ocean Pool Service, we’re passionate about ensuring your pool isn’t just beautiful, but safe and healthy for everyone who wants to enjoy it.
Why Water Quality Matters
Properly balanced pool water is about more than just how the water looks – it’s crucial for preventing the spread of harmful bacteria, algae, and other contaminants that can cause illness or irritation. Imbalances in chemicals like chlorine, pH, and alkalinity can create an environment where these unwanted guests thrive.
Our Best Pool Safety Tips
- Test Regularly: Invest in a reliable testing kit and check your pool’s chemical levels at least twice a week during peak season.
- Know Your Numbers: Maintain the proper levels of chlorine (1-3 ppm), pH (7.2-7.8), and alkalinity (80-120 ppm). We can help you understand these levels and what adjustments may be needed.
- Shock Your Pool: Regularly shocking your pool helps oxidize contaminants and keep the water sanitized.
- Clean Your Filter: A dirty filter can’t effectively remove debris, leading to cloudy water and potential health risks. Clean it regularly or replace it when needed.
- Skim the Surface: Remove leaves, bugs, and other debris from the surface to prevent them from sinking and decomposing, which can affect water quality.
- Brush the Walls: Regularly brushing the pool walls helps prevent algae growth and keeps your pool looking its best.
- Monitor the Drain: Ensure your drain cover is secure and compliant with safety standards to prevent entrapment.
- Store Chemicals Safely: Keep pool chemicals out of reach of children and pets, and store them according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
