Pool Decking
The decking surrounding your pool is important; even an ugly pool can look good if its deck is in great condition. Keep your pool deck clean, be careful about damaging it while moving your pool furniture from place to place. Never leave iron objects on a pool deck (or in the pool for that matter) as these will leave rust marks.
Eliminate Those Calcium Water Lines
Evaporation of water—especially in states with hard water like ours—can leave white calcium lines on the tiles that edge your pool, causing it to look old and unsightly. If you brush the sides of the walls frequently and use pumice stones to scrape away the calcium lines, you can keep that new pool looking great far longer than your neighbors who may not know this secret. For an especially stubborn line, you may want to consider having the calcium lines blasted off by New Image with the use of a glass bead compressor.
Remove Pool Toys After Each Use
Batteries that may have fallen out of pool toys and metal objects can leave permanent stains in the pool. Be sure and remove pool toys, flotation devices, and other debris that may have fallen into the pool each day to help with pool repair Chandler.
Drain Pool on a Regular Basis
Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) can accumulate from evaporation and regular refilling of the pool, saturating your water with calcium, salt, and metals and leaving behind calcium deposits, erosion, and stains on the surface of your pool. Draining and cleaning the empty pool is imperative to keeping the pool new and fresh looking. Once the pool is empty, you (or your pool professional) can evaluate what needs to be done to eradicate stains and discolored areas. Acid washes can help, but are corrosive to the surface and can only be performed a maximum of three or four times throughout the lifetime of the surface of your pool. Should if you do notice damages on your pools surface, its better to repair them sooner than later and speak with experts in pool resurfacing Phoenix.
