Regular pool cleaning is an essential part of pool care. If you skip skimming and scrubbing your pool and balancing the water, you won't just end up with a few bugs or a little pond scum. Pool cleaning is essential to avoid several more serious problems that could make it impossible to swim.

Why You Need to Schedule Pool Service

1. Algae

Algae forms from colonies of tiny aquatic plants that grow and multiply in the water. They can form a layer on top of the water or produce a greenish tinge throughout the pool. Besides being unattractive, algae can leave stains and cause problems with your pool equipment.

2. Equipment Damage

When your pool fills with algae and debris, it strains your filters and drains to their limits. They may get clogged, strangling the flow of water and burning out the pump motor. Clogged filters can also allow debris and scum deeper into the system, forming deposits inside your equipment. Even the metal fixtures of your pool can become corroded when the pH of your pool is out of balance.

3. Illness

Algae isn't all that can grow in untreated pool water. It's also a breeding ground for mold, fungi, and bacteria, including E. coli, which can lead to infections. Microbes from pool water can cause everything from an itchy rash to respiratory problems.
