While you're busy at work, your expensive swimming structure or spa is collecting debris and harboring bacteria. You finally get a day off to relax, but your neglected swimming structure isn't clean and ready for use. For a pool that's beautiful and always safe to swim in, consider hiring an certified professional. Pool service Southampton, NY offers weekly, monthly, and seasonal service. They also troubleshoot, repair, and install equipment.

Service technicians add chemicals and chlorine to keep water clear, clean, and safe. They clean algae and debris from water surfaces, the sides and floor of the structure. They empty filter baskets, check drains, check and maintain equipment. Technicians bring all the chemicals with them. No need for homeowners to purchase, lug home, and find storage for buckets of chlorine and chemicals.

A standard maintenance agreement usually includes testing and balancing water chemistry, emptying skimmer baskets, cleaning filters, vacuuming sediment and debris from the bottom, brushing sides of the pool, and checking that all equipment is running efficiently.

Water quality is not just chlorine content. Technicians test for temperature, dissolved solids, cyanuric acid, alkalinity, pH, and calcium hardness. The warm temperature of a spa is a paradise for bacteria if water chemistry isn't carefully controlled. Large structures require special care to be certain chemicals are distributed evenly throughout. High concentrations of chlorine and other chemicals are irritating to eyes and skin.

Filters and pumps distribute essential chemicals throughout the water. During swim season they should run 8-12 hours to keep water chemicals distributed, and to capture leaves and other debris. It's critically important that electrical systems be properly connected and grounded. This is a task that must be done by a certified technician for everyone's safety.

The change of seasons requires special care. Summer service needs include removal of covers, lubricate and test equipment, test and adjust water chemistry, remove debris, vacuum, clean tile, and pressure wash decks. In the winter, technicians disconnect equipment, clean and blow out all pipes, clean filters, add anti-freeze and winter chemicals, lower the water level, and install the winter cover.

Before replacing tile or refinishing pool surfaces, consult with a certified technician. Very often a professional cleaning can bring tiles back to their original beauty.
