A pool is a wonderful addition to a home, providing countless hours of recreation, and a place for the entire family and guests to gather around, have fun, and spend some quality time outdoors.

But pools require cleaning, maintenance, and the occasional repair to stay in good working order. While basic pool repair can be handled in a DIY fashion, bigger tasks are best left to the professionals. Kihei, HI, residents should leave these tasks to Maui Pool Supplies, the island’s preeminent resource for pool maintenance and repair, for more than three decades.

4 Signs You Need Pool Repair

1. Cracks in the Walls

These are pretty easy to spot. When the walls of your concrete pool start to crack, water can leak out, and the problem can quickly compound. A professional can help reseal your pool walls and repair the structural integrity.

2. Green Algae

Green algae is a sure sign that something is wrong with your filter and pump. When it’s lightly spotted, it can be brushed off the walls, but for more severe problems, a pool repair professional will need to administer a full chlorine shock treatment to destroy the blooms.

3. Stinging Eyes

Stinging eyes are a clear sign that the pH level of your water is too high, which generally has to do with cleanliness. Pouring a pH reducer into the deep end and letting it circulate will bring the acid levels down; conversely, a sodium carbonate treatment can boost your pool’s pH level if it’s too low.

4. Broken Lights

If there’s one pool repair job that should always be left to professionals, it’s a busted light. The combination of live electricity and the conductivity of a pool make for a potentially deadly scenario if extreme caution isn’t taken.
