What is the necessary maintenance of a swimming pool?
A regular weekly maintenance plan that includes cleaning and keeping the pH and chemicals in balance is crucial to the beauty and longevity of your pool. All equipment and automatic pool covers should be kept in good working condition, checked, cleaned and adjusted periodically. Many of these services can be done annually at the opening of your pool. Have your pool professionally winterized.

Pool safety is everyone’s top concern, and there are numerous preventative and cautionary measures that you can use. We have listed the top most important ones.
- Always watch your children & pets when they are in or near a pool or spa
- Install and use an automatic safety cover on your pool & spa. Keep these covers in good working condition at all times.

- Consider installing a surface wave or underwater alarm in the pool.
- Always have and use proper and appropriate safety equipment & supplies.
