The longevity of your pool can be greatly enhanced by keeping up with regular maintenance. Routine service visits are a great start, but it's always wise to implement your own maintenance schedule as well. Distinctive Swimming Pools has been providing Litchfield County with pool cleaning service, swimming pool repair, and swimming pool renovations and installations for more than 25 years. Here they share three tips any homeowner can do to keep up their pool between regular service visits.

DIY tips for pool maintenance: 

  • Keep A Consistent Water Level: It's crucial to keep an eye on the water level in your pool. After a significant rainstorm or periods of heavy use, check water levels at the opening of your skimmer. Ideally, the water level should be at the skimmer's halfway point.

  • Clean Dirt & Grime: Between visits from Distinctive Swimming Pools' professional cleaners, you'll want to do some cleaning of your own. Over time, dirt and grime buildup forms around the waterline along the walls of pools. Using a towel and some elbow grease, wipe away this buildup to help keep water fresh and clean.
  • Test Water Regularly: Using the standards issued by your pool manufacturer, test pool water on a routine basis. Make sure the water has the right balance of chemicals and pH. This can go a long way in helping your pool function optimally between checkups from Distinctive Swimming Pools.
