It is very important to preserve the proper chemistry of your pool water, therefore you should hire a pool professional to maintain your swimming pool. Chemically treating a pool properly can be very frustrating to pool owners. Proper chemical treatment will treat your water and ensure the health and well being of your family. In fact, this is the major reason why people choose to have a professional take care of their pool – the proper amount and levels of chemicals can require a lot more knowledge than most average homeowners possess. On average most pool professionals visit over fifty swimming pools each week and each is unique.
The next important reason to hire a pool professional is to properly maintain your pool equipment. Most pool owners are not mechanically inclined and are somewhat intimidated by their pool equipment. In addition, there are a lot of moving parts and any small mechanical issue can dramatically affect your pool’s operation and filtration process. A pool professional will not only keep your pool running smooth, but they will also use preventative maintenance techniques to save you time and money as your pool starts to age.
The last and perhaps most important reason to hire a pool professional is so you can enjoy your pool! A pool professional has ready access to pool supplies, saving you time from running around purchasing pool chemicals. Knowing you have a competent professional taking care of your pool can give you peace of mind and help you save money and time.

Many pool owners are starting to replace their equipment with the latest in energy efficient products. Having the right equipment, specifically matched to your needs, must be properly and professionally installed. This makes all the difference in the quality of your swimming environment.
Leak Detection and Repair
If you think about it, the interior surface area of a pool is a fairly large surface, making the process of locating a leak a bit like finding a needle in a haystack. Fortunately, there are tools and methods developed over time that assist pool professionals with accurate leak detection.
Pool Resurfacing
A new pool surface can dramatically improve the quality of your backyard oasis experience. With resurfacing, there is a right way and a wrong way to do it; and many do it the wrong way. You want to hire a pool service professional to assure that you are getting the job done correctly. There is an ever increasing variety of resurfacing options available in today’s marketplace. The biggest differentiating factor is appearance, how they look, but other considerations should be taken into account as well. How will the surface look with your lighting? Will a particular type of surface be better suited to a different type of lighting? What are the maintenance considerations of a particular surface option? How durable is the surface, and given what variables? Some surfaces can be quite durable, assuming ideal conditions, but ideal conditions seldom persist.
Pool Opening
When opening your pool for the spring, you should enlist the services of a pool professional. They will be able to inspect for any leaks or equipment that needs repair as well as diagnose exactly what chemicals your pool will require. During a typical pool opening, a pool professional will start and check the filter system and pool equipment, write a chemical analysis of pool water, and add initial shock treatment to the pool.
