If you notice the following signs, it’s time to contact America’s Swimming Pool Company for a professional pool cleaning!
- Discolored water – The most obvious sign that your pool needs professional cleaning is when your pool is green, brown, yellow, or any other color other than clear. When your water isn’t treated properly or frequently, it can develop algae or other contaminants.
- Bugs, bugs, and more bugs – Bacteria isn’t the only thing that could be living in your pool. Bugs tend to find their way around the water and sometimes fall in. Insects like mosquitoes, water beetles, gnats, tiny red pool mites, and more can end up in your pool, creating an unsanitary environment.
- Irritation to eyes and skin – Minor skin and eye irritation is fairly normal if you swim with your eyes open underwater. However, you could get a serious skin condition from unclean water that lingers on the skin long-term, especially when water isn’t treated properly or chemically balanced.
- Scaling: Scaling is the buildup of inorganic material found on pool tile, stone, fiberglass, and other hard surfaces. Scaling often indicates that the calcium, pH, and alkaline levels in your pool are too high.
- Bubbles or foam in the water: Bubbles or foam on the surface of your pool water might look fun, but this means your pool has strong surface tension caused by:
- Contaminants like sunblock, lotion, and/or soap
- A high concentration of surface bacteria and germs
- A chemical imbalance (having too many or too few chemicals)
Proper cleaning and chemical adjustment is a science that, when done incorrectly, can lead to additional problems for you and your family. That’s why you should always trust the professionals! We have the tools, special supplies, and experience to ensure your pool is cleaned and maintained according to industry standards and best practices.
