After one of our infamous Austin area rains, it’s important to immediately remove all debris, as well as check your chemical levels. In order to keep your pool running smoothly and avoid future issues, there are a number of items you should take care of right away.
Debris Is Not Your Pool’s Friend
Use your skimmer to begin cleaning out the large debris, such as branches, leaves, and garbage. If there is just a small amount of debris left on the bottom of the pool, your pool vacuum system should be able to take care of any debris that has settled. However, you may want to have your pool professionally power vacuumed (by Crystal Clear Pools and Spas) to ensure debris doesn’t get stuck in the pipes or wear out your filter.
Rain Messes With Your Pool Chemistry
In addition to debris, a significant rain can bring contaminates which can lower the alkalinity levels or cause a pH rise. Adjust these levels using pH Plus, pH Minus, and Alkalinity Plus. This can be intimidating if you’ve never addressed your pool chemical levels before – just make sure to carefully follow the directions or call Crystal Clear Pools and Spas to adjust your chemical levels for you. Our experts are certified licensed professionals and will restore your pool back to perfect swimming health.
Pool Level Matters
Keeping your water level in the correct position is important for your pool system. You should maintain your pool water level halfway up the skimmer box opening. If it’s higher or lower, remove or add water accordingly. If this is not something you want to deal with in these cold temperatures, give us a call and we’ll take care of it for you.
It May Be Time For a Shock
If you haven’t shocked your pool in a while, this would be a good time to go ahead and shock your pool or spa. Shocking clears any bacteria or algae that have been accumulating. Shock is available in both liquid and powder forms, but liquid typically works quicker.
Leave The Work To Crystal Clear Pools and Spas
The next time it rains, call Crystal Clear Pools and Spas to help you get your pool ready for swimming. If you’re in Austin, Westlake, Buda, Cedar Park, Round Rock, Bastrop, or anywhere else in the Central Texas area, contact Crystal Clear Pools and Spas today.
