Congratulations on your new pool! That shimmering blue oasis in your backyard is the pride of South Florida living, but it also comes with responsibilities. Here's what every new pool owner should know:
The Basics to Handle Yourself
- Daily skimming: Remove leaves and debris before they sink and stain
- Monitor water level: Miami's heat means evaporation happens quickly
- Basic water testing: Learn to check chlorine and pH with simple test kits
- Run your filter: Properly circulated water stays cleaner in our tropical climate
When to Call the Professionals
Our South Florida environment creates unique challenges. Salt air, frequent rain, and intense UV exposure all impact your pool's health. Professional help ensures your investment lasts:
- Equipment troubleshooting: When pumps make unusual sounds or efficiency drops
- Deep cleaning: Preventing algae growth common in humid Miami conditions
- Seasonal maintenance: Preparing for hurricane season and summer heat waves
- Water chemistry balancing: Beyond the basics lies complex chemistry that affects equipment longevity
