While it doesn’t take too long after the holidays for the weather to heat up, the prime time for pool time really ramps up in the summer months.  While spring time serves as a warm up, there are a few things you’ll want to address before the pool parties and daily swims begin.

Water is the most essential element of your pool. Without it, you only have a concrete hole in your yard. The water is what provides hours of fun, countless memories, and refreshment and relaxation. This is why it is so important to keep it clean and maintained. Clean, clear water that is adequately treated keeps it safe and healthy for everyone.  

Owning a swimming pool can be one of the best investments you can make, particularly for home entertainment, and key to being able to enjoy it fully is ensuring it is properly maintained and cleaned year-round.  When neglected, problems such as black algae can arise and lead to major headaches. 

There is a lot to during the fall in south Louisiana.  Of course, football season is in full swing, the kids are back in school, and your pool likely isn't as active as it was all summer.  Your new schedule changes range from school pickups to practices to tailgates and more.  But it also directly influences how you care for and maintain your pool. 

If your car’s air conditioner isn’t blowing cold air, there are few things you can try before bringing it to a mechanic.  It may only need some freon.  The same is true for when your computer is acting up.  If it’s running slowly try closing some programs, or looking for malware; there’s also the old trick of unplugging it and plugging it back in.  The truth is with a couple troubleshooting attempts you can save yourself some time and money.  Your pool’s pump is no different.
