Many people think that weekly pool maintenance is not important during the winter months, but here at Pools4u we feel differently. Our aim is to keep your swimming pool phbalance at 7.4, this magic number is the same as an eye drop. Not only is this far more comfortable for your skin to be exposed to, but is vital to keeping the pool chemical levels balanced and this will help prolong the life of your swimming pool. If the ph balance is too low, then the acidic water will eat the grout and loosen tiles but, if the ph balance is too high,then the water becomes corrosive to pipework and can damage pump house equipment –both of these leading to expensive repairs.
So, in the long run, weekly maintenance is far more cost effective and also has the benefit of being an additional layer of security, providing a presence at the property and helping to quickly identify any problems such as water leaks, as these are common problems in the Algarve.
At this time of year, your pool should be nice and full, but if it isn’t then it might be the sign of a leak (or perhaps more than one leak). At Pools4u, we specialise in leak detection, this involves our team coming to your property; pressure testing ALL of the pipework and performing a full check on ALL pump house equipmen. If the pressure drops we are able to use a camera to pinpoint where the leak/leaks are coming from. Please contact us to make an appointment.
Here at Pools 4u we believe in prevention, so please contact us to take advantage of our free 7-point digital health check.
