Everything from cleanliness to costs are affected by the frequency of your pool care. Effective pool maintenance will not only keep your pool clean; it will help you keep your pool equipment in tip-top shape so that you may avoid potentially expensive pool repairs down the road. So how do you determine what’s right for you and your pool – weekly or monthly professional pool care?

Several things should be taken into account when making your decision, including your lifestyle. Ask yourself how often your pool is used and by how many people. The more you use your pool, the more attention it requires. Also, what best fits your schedule – pool care once a week or allowing for more time on pool care less often?

Then there are the differences each pool care option presents. Weekly pool maintenance offers a lot of plusses, like a consistent approach for water balancing and pool water clarity; frequent equipment monitoring; and the avoidance of debris and algae build-up which can occur over time and impede circulation and filtration, as well as place added pressure on pool parts. While monthly pool maintenance can be effective, it tends to be more reactive than proactive, and may require more shock treatments and algaecides.

Costs should also be considered. Weekly pool cleaning supply costs will be lower, but more frequent and can possibly save you on repairs and the additional chemicals that monthly pool cleaning may require.

Whatever you decide, SE Pool & Spa can either provide you with the affordable pool cleaning supplies or professional pool cleaning services that suits you best.
