As the temperatures rise, the last thing you want to worry about is struggling with your pool. Luckily, Universal Pool Service in Arizona is here to help. Our weekly pool maintenance service takes the hassle out of pool ownership so you can sit back, relax, and enjoy your pool. Today, we will provide you with some helpful tips for summer pool maintenance in Arizona, so you can make the most out of your pool this season.

Keep an Eye on Water Levels and Chemistry

Living in Arizona means dealing with extreme heat and intense sunlight, which can take a toll on your pool. The high temperatures can cause water to evaporate quickly, leading to a decrease in the pool’s water level. It’s important to regularly check the water levels and make sure they are within the recommended range. If the water level is too low, it can cause damage to your pool’s pump and filter. On the other hand, if the water level is too high, it can result in poor circulation and water quality issues. In addition to water levels, it’s also crucial to regularly test the water chemistry. The hot weather can also cause pH and chlorine levels to fluctuate, so it’s important to test and adjust them as needed to maintain a safe and comfortable swimming environment.

Keep the Pool Clean

With increased usage during the summer, it’s important to stay on top of pool cleaning to prevent algae and bacteria growth. Skimming the surface of the pool daily to remove debris such as leaves and insects is a good start. But it’s also important to regularly brush the walls and floor of the pool to prevent algae buildup. Vacuuming the pool at least once a week is also recommended.

Maintain Proper Water Circulation

Proper water circulation is key to a clean and healthy pool. The hot summer weather in Arizona can cause water to become stagnant, which can lead to algae growth and other water quality issues. To prevent this, make sure your pool’s pump and filter are running for at least 8-10 hours a day. You may need to increase the run time during peak summer months.

Pay Attention To Pool Equipment

While the pool itself may be the main focus of maintenance, it’s important not to overlook the pool equipment. This includes the pool pump, filter, and other equipment such as handrails and ADA lifts. Regularly checking and maintaining these items can prevent costly repairs down the road. It’s also important to have a professional inspect and service the pool equipment at least once a year to ensure everything is working properly and efficiently. It’s also important to regularly clean and inspect your pool’s tiles, surface, and deck for any cracks or damage. If you notice any leaks or unusual noises, our team can also assist with tile cleaning, surface patch repairs, and cool deck resurfacing/repairs. Our comprehensive repair services will help get your pool back in top condition in no time.

Owning a pool in Arizona is a wonderful luxury, but it’s important to properly maintain it to ensure it remains a safe and enjoyable experience.
