Is There Something Wrong with My Pool?

Is There Something Wrong with My Pool?

Probably true of all home improvement concerns, it can be hard to tell when an issue with your pool is something you can ignore, something you can fix or something that you’ll need to call a company that does swimming pool repairs about.

In general, if it’s something with the water, then you’ll probably be able to handle it. If it’s something with the structure itself, you should probably find a pool repair company. Here are some common pool problems, their causes and potential solutions.

The Pool Water is Cloudy

When you think of going for a swim, you think of blue, sparkling waters. A cloudy pool kills that vision and can make you concerned. Cloudy water can be as simple as particles that are too small for your filtration system. If that’s the case, enzyme-based cleaners can help clear that up.

It may also have to do with the pH level. You should regularly test the pH of your pool for your health and the health of your pool. There are pH Plus and pH Minus products that can adjust the levels accordingly.

The Filter is Not Filtering

Are you scooping more than you usually do? It might be because you need a new filter. If you notice more debris, shorter filter runs or less circulation, you should look into getting a new filter.

There’s a Ring on the Tiles

You might notice a ring all around your pool where the water level is on your tiles. This is a normal occurrence from the oils and particles brought in by swimmers.

It’s important you don’t use normal household cleaners on this. These chemicals may react with your pool chemicals in a harmful way. There are pool cleaners for sale that can do the job.

The Water is Disappearing

If you notice the water level is dropping more dramatically than normal, you could have a leak. It might be in the pipes, in the shell or the liner.

It’s best to contact a pool repair service to help detect the leak and determine the severity of the problem.

Proper Maintenance For Best Results

Most pool problems can be solved by routine maintenance or quick fixes. Make sure to regularly check up on your pool so it lasts for many, many years.
