Pools are designed and meant for the hot weather that is prevalent across south Louisiana for much of the year. However, even as long-awaited, or seldom it may be, cold, even freezing weather does make its way down here. When it arrives, ideally before it arrives, there are some steps you can take to make sure that your home’s pool is ready for a brief hibernation. Taking a few extra maintenance steps will keep your pool clean, safe, protected, and ready for spring.

Keeping your pool's water safe and clean is a top priority, especially in the summer months.  Regular pool maintenance becomes more important when swimming activity increases.  While this may sound like more work, it is actually quite simple to keep your pool's water and systems safe and clean this summer and throughout the year.  With frequent testing of the water's pH and chemicals, keeping the pool clear of debris, and having a clean filter will help to ensure a fun and healthy summer!

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.
