3 Telltale Signs of a Dirty Pool
It is easy to get lost in the rigors of life and totally neglect spending time in your swimming pool not to talk about pool maintenance. While some sets of people have been known to schedule appointments with professional pool care companies on a regular basis, others may not have the time to carry out regular maintenance.
The question at this point becomes, "when do I have my pool cleaned?" The answer to this question is dependent on a lot of factors which include:
- Climate
- Frequency of usage
- Chemicals used
- Season of the year
- Sanitary habits of the pool users
The above factors play massive roles in determining the time gap between successive pool maintenance activities. Granted, you may not have enough information to determine how these factors affect your pool, but there are ways to tell when your pool urgently needs cleaning.
We have made a list of the three most common signs of a dirty pool to help you know the right time to start considering pool cleaning and sometimes pool renovation in Orlando. These are things you can recognize easily and without stress as they are external signs that will be difficult to miss.
Let's see what signs you need to look out for:
1. Presence of Algae
There are different varieties of algae. Some are toxic, and others may be fatal. Some algae produce cyanobacteria which is a green slimy layer that can be seen on some lakes. These substances are foul smelling and shouldn't be too hard to miss.
If you notice something of this sort, do not overlook it and jump into the pool. It can be very toxic to both humans and animals. One thing to remember is that not all algae are visible so lookout for any unusual smell around your pool area.
2. Cloudy water
If you have an uncovered pool, there may be a chance that rainwater carrying contaminants will seep into your pool water. The result is your pool water becoming cloudy, murky and unclear. One other cause of cloudy water could be due to the high concentration of chemicals in your pool. These chemicals include chlorine, water sanitizers, and high pH level.
Don't make the mistake of thinking cloudy pool water is as a result of a change in the weather. As soon as you notice this, don't hesitate to call All Phase Pool Remodeling.
3. Eye Irritation and reddening after swimming
Do your eyes start to itch and change color after a swimming session? This is an obvious sign that something definitely isn't right. Your pool is in desperate need of a professional cleaning service.
Eye irritation could be caused by the accumulation of dirt, sweat, oil and other contaminants. These are usually produced by the human body rather than chemicals. They cause the body to react and by this results in itching of the eyes and may turn them red after a while.
With these three important signs, you should be able to schedule pool maintenance at the right time. For the best and most reliable pool renovation in Orlando, choose All Phase Pool Remodeling.
