Do you love sitting or relaxing by your pool and wonder how to keep that pool looking clear blue and safe to swim in? We’re sharing tips on how to service your Orlando backyard pool! The water is very appealing, and pool parties are popular lets’s not forget they’re a great way to cool off in the heat, exercise, and get some sun! There are thousands of homes in Kissimmee, Orlando, and Davenport with a backyard pool, and we need to know at least some basics of how to care for our pool.
Professional Serving For Rental Properties
When you have your own backyard pool or a rental home in Florida, we recommend using a professionally licensed company to look after your pool. We use the same licensed and insured company for all our rental home pools. This way, we know who to call immediately if something is wrong with anyone’s pool. Suppose your home is under professional home management, and you want to use your pool contractor. In that case, it can be very problematic for any management company with no leverage over them to enforce high standards.
DIY How To Service Your Orlando Backyard Pool
We don’t recommend owners service their rental home pool themselves; there will be liability issues in the event of an alleged accident or sickness that could be blamed on or related to the pool. A skilled professional will be able to check the pool equipment and help keep it maintained properly. It also affords you an extra set of eyes at home each week. The tech can report to the managers if they see anything untoward happening at your home. If you live in your home and want to service it yourself, here’s a checklist of things to do.
- Weekly Pool Maintenance ensures clean and safe water
- Skim Off Leaves and Debris
- Brush Sediment from Pool Walls
- Vacuum the Pool
- Clean The Skimmer Baskets
- Keep Your Pump Running At least Eight Hours A Day
- Check The Pool Filter And Clean it As Needed
- Check The Pools Pressure
- Test Pool Water and Add Chemicals
Screen Enclosure
Screen enclosures are very common in Florida for several reasons and they also provide an excellent barrier against bugs. Cleaning can be a breeze if you have a pool enclosure installed. Your pool will be much cleaner as the screening, AKA netting, will keep a lot of dust, leaves, and debris out of your backyard’s pool area. This helps to keep your pool area much cleaner.
Pool Safety
Safety in and around the pool is always a major concern and should be a top priority. Children drown in backyard pools yearly; the shimmering water is very appealing to children and can also be dangerous. To comply with health and safety advice, we recommend that you need a warning sign and depth markers mounted in the pool area. These can often be purchased from your local pool supply store. Here are some recommendations from the state about pool safety.
Pool Rules
Adopt pool rules for your pool, such as no children under sixteen should be allowed by the pool without adult supervision. No running, diving, or glass in the pool area, only plastic ware. No animals should be allowed in the pool, as pet hair can ruin your filter. Don’t enter the pool with newly applied sunscreen; let it sink in first. Pool alarms or a child safety fence should also be installed, and the tenants are encouraged to use them if they are damaged or broken to ensure a swift repair or replacement.
