Swimming Pools & Maintenance

When summer comes, everyone wants to make the most of it. The weather’s warm, the kids are off school, and everybody’s mood is lifted, so how do you ensure you have the best summer possible? A swimming pool!

Swimming pools offer the perfect way to relax in the sun at home while giving children their new favourite playground. While the thought of a swimming pool at home may cause financial fear, above-ground pools are surprisingly affordable and easy to install.

With proper maintenance, every dip in your garden swimming pool can feel as fresh as the first swim at the world’s finest hotels. Read on to learn more about our home swimming pools and how best to maintain them. For more major pros, read our blog on the advantages of an above-ground swimming pool.

Keeping your pool clean is crucial to maintaining a fresh and healthy place to relax and have fun. We recommend weekly maintenance work to ensure every swim feels as good as the first.

In your weekly maintenance, you should check your water levels and top up if need be. We suggest vacuuming, scrubbing, and brushing the pool’s floor and walls to ensure they are spotless. Clean the area around your pool, check your pH levels, and adjust if necessary. You’re ideally looking for a pH balance between 7.0 and 7.6.

One of the most important steps in your weekly servicing is cleaning the pool filters. Our pool filters blog provides a full breakdown of the best filters, how to clean them, and how they work.
