A recurring maintenance offering focuses specifically on the chemical balance of swimming pool water. This service typically involves testing the water’s pH, alkalinity, calcium hardness, and sanitizer levels (chlorine, bromine, or salt), followed by the addition of appropriate chemicals to maintain optimal water quality. For example, if the pH is too high, a pH reducer might be added; if the chlorine level is low, chlorine granules or liquid chlorine would be introduced.
This concentrated approach provides several advantages, primarily centering on safeguarding pool users’ health and protecting pool equipment. Properly balanced water minimizes the risk of skin and eye irritation, prevents algae growth, and inhibits the proliferation of harmful bacteria. Furthermore, maintaining correct chemical levels extends the lifespan of pool surfaces, plumbing, and filtration systems by preventing corrosion and scaling. Historically, this type of service emerged as pool owners sought efficient methods to maintain water quality without extensive equipment maintenance or cleaning.
