Why You Should Hire A Professional Pool Cleaner Instead of Doing It Yourself

There are many reasons that people have a pool designer create the perfect pool for a backyard. Some do it so that they can get high-cardio, low-impact exercise. Others have pool installation performed so that they can invite people over and have lots of fun parties. But when the party’s over and you’re all exercised out, there’s another great reason to get a custom pool: relaxation. And if you hire a professional pool service, you can relax when it comes to pool cleaning as well.

Some people spend good money on a custom-built pool and then decide that they’ll save money by doing their own pool service. In the end, most of them end up hiring someone to take care of their pool maintenance before too long. Here are a few good reasons why you should hire someone for weekly pool service instead of doing it yourself.

Keep an Eye Out For Problems

One of the great things about hiring someone to take care of your pool cleaning is that they can also keep an eye out for any pool maintenance needs. If you’ve just had pool installation performed, you probably don’t have an idea about what’s normal and what might not be working correctly. On the other hand, our pool cleaners are very good at recognizing problems because they know how the system should be working.

Here are some examples. Do you know the normal amount of water that your pool should be losing every week due to natural evaporation? If not, you might not notice the signs of a leak. What’s your filtration system supposed to sound like, and is that buzz normal? If you ignore it, it could cause a total system collapse. Trust us, ignored repairs are going to end up costing a whole lot more than weekly pool service.

Sure, some projects are fine if you’re a do-it-yourselfer. But you should limit those to the parts of your life that you really understand. If you’re not a pool expert, it’s a good idea to leave cleaning — and problem identification — to the professionals.

Get The Right Chemical Balance

Here’s the thing about pool water: it’s going to get dirty. We’re not just talking the leaves that fall in, either. Spores blow in on the wind, humans leave germs behind, and microorganisms are more than happy to multiply in untreated water.

All of these lead to the need for pool chemicals. While a properly-balanced pool is safe for humans, it’s going to get rid of all of the nasties that want to grow in your pool. Problems arise when people try to do their own pool cleaning and don’t get the right level of each chemical. They either don’t put enough in (which allows the nasties in the water to live) or they put too much in (which can hurt the eyes and skin of anyone who uses the pool).

Instead of having to deal with all of these chemicals — and keep them on your property between cleanings — why not just have a professional pool cleaner take care of it instead?

You Don’t Have To Deal With The Gunk

There’s a lot of disgusting stuff that ends up in people’s pool filters. Instead of taking care of it yourself, why not let a pool service deal with it for you?

Save Your Time and Sanity

Do you really have time to do you pool cleaning? Most people don’t, because they have other stuff to do instead of taking time out of their weekend to clean the pool. If pool cleaning could be done twice a year, more people would take the task upon themselves. But pool cleaning has to be done week after week, for as long as you own the pool. If you think you’ll get tired of doing it so often, it might be best to contact a pool cleaning company today and just set up a regular schedule.

Speaking of which…

You Get To Relax!

Do you want to clean your pool? The answer is almost certainly “no.” Even if you have the time to clean your pool, wouldn’t you rather relax? In fact, you can relax and watch us clean the pool if you want. Just sit there in your pool chair and enjoy the fact that you aren’t having to deal with all of the steps necessary in order to ensure a fun swimming experience.
