Building a pool in the Lowcountry offers wonderful opportunities and some unique challenges when it comes to proper pool maintenance. The region’s warm climate, humidity and lush environment create ideal conditions for year-round relaxation but can also make pool maintenance complex. Lowcountry pool builders know that professional maintenance can extend a pool’s life.
As the Charleston and Bluffton area’s most trusted choice in pool services since 1991, we have developed an intimate understanding of how to properly care for your custom pool. Here’s what we know.
Promoting proper water chemistry is essential.
Maintaining stable water chemistry is the foundation for any healthy pool. However, the Lowcountry’s climate adds an extra layer of complexity.
From Mount Pleasant to Charleston to Bluffton and Savannah, Georgia, the region’s heat and humidity can cause water temperatures to fluctuate significantly from morning to evening and upset your pool’s health.
Professional pool maintenance services ensure your pool’s chemical balance stays consistent.
- Temperature fluctuations: Regularly monitor and adjust for swings that affect water chemistry.
- Evaporation: Replenish and rebalance chemicals lost due to frequent water evaporation.
- Algae prevention: Use the correct combination of chlorine and balancing chemicals to prevent outbreaks.
Speaking of algae, the Lowcountry’s warm, humid climate is a perfect breeding ground for algae and bacteria. Water temperatures above 75 degrees significantly increase the likelihood of algae growth, and pools with water features or negative edges are particularly vulnerable. Wind can also affect water levels and chemical balance by blowing water out of the pool, further complicating the situation.
Weekly professional maintenance helps to ensure that these issues are addressed proactively. By monitoring water temperature and chemical levels, experts can prevent algae blooms and ensure your pool remains safe and enjoyable year-round.
There is a right way to clean and remove debris.
The Lowcountry’s natural beauty can introduce unique challenges for pool owners. Falling leaves, sand and other debris can create ongoing maintenance issues. Here’s how professional maintenance helps:
- Leaves and debris: Remove debris between our team’s visits, helping to prevent clogged skimmers and drains and address staining caused by leaves.
- Phosphate management: Treat phosphates introduced by organic material, which can reduce sanitizer effectiveness and encourage algae growth.
- Sand removal: Remove sand from filters and pool floors, especially for oceanfront properties.
Weekly service visits are crucial to maintaining your pool’s cleanliness and preventing damage caused by environmental debris.
Pool maintenance services save time, effort and even money.
Pool care might seem straightforward, but when you consider factors like temperature changes, bather load and environmental elements such as trees and shrubs, it can quickly become overwhelming.
Professional pool maintenance eliminates the guesswork and saves you the time and effort of managing these variables yourself.
