Frequently asked questions

The frequency of pool maintenance depends on several factors, including the type of pool you have, the local climate, and how often the pool is used. In general, here are some guidelines for common pool maintenance tasks:

Daily/Weekly Maintenance:

Skimming the pool surface to remove debris like leaves and insects.
Emptying the skimmer basket.
Checking the water level and ensuring it's at the proper level for optimal skimming and filtration.
Testing the water's pH and chlorine levels and adjusting them as needed.

As Needed:

Anytime you notice issues like cloudy water, algae growth, or unusual odors, contact us to address them promptly with the appropriate maintenance tasks.

It's important to note that these are general guidelines, and the specific maintenance needs of your pool may vary. Factors like heavy pool use, severe weather conditions, and the presence of trees or plants near the pool can influence the maintenance schedule.

Deciding whether to restore or renovate your pool is a viable option when your pool is showing signs of wear and tear but is not in a state of irreversible disrepair. Here are some factors to consider when determining if pool restoration is the right choice:

Visual Condition: Assess the visual condition of the pool. Look for issues such as cracks in the pool shell, fading or chipping of the pool surface, and worn-out tiles or coping. If the main problem is cosmetic and the structure is sound, restoration may be a suitable option to rejuvenate the pool's appearance.
Leaks: If you suspect or have confirmed leaks in your pool, address them promptly. Leaks can lead to water loss and structural damage over time. In some cases, repairing leaks and restoring the pool's surface may be more cost-effective than a full replacement.
Surface Damage: If the pool's surface (e.g., plaster, pebble, or vinyl liner) is damaged but the structure beneath it is intact, resurfacing the pool can extend its lifespan and improve its appearance.
Aesthetic Preferences: Consider whether you're satisfied with the pool's current aesthetics. Restoration can allow you to update the pool's appearance with new surface materials, tiles, coping, and decking.
Upgrading Equipment: If your pool equipment (e.g., pumps, filters, heaters) is outdated or inefficient, a pool restoration project can be an opportunity to upgrade to more energy-efficient and modern equipment.
Budget: Compare the cost of restoring the pool to the cost of replacing it. Restoring a pool is generally more cost-effective than a full replacement, but the exact cost will depend on the extent of the restoration work needed.

Pool restoration can breathe new life into an aging pool, making it more functional, attractive, and efficient. However, the suitability of restoration depends on the pool's current condition and your goals. It's essential to evaluate your pool's needs and consult with us to determine the best course of action.
