Maintaining Your Pool During Busy Periods

Here are some top tips for maintaining your pool quality this holiday period when your pool is getting the most of its use. Overuse of a swimming pool can lead to several problems, including:

- Water Quality Issues: Overuse can cause a rapid buildup of contaminants such as body oils, sweat, lotions, and other organic matter, leading to decreased water quality. This can result in cloudy or murky water, an imbalance in pH levels, and an increased risk of bacterial growth.

- Chemical Imbalance: Heavy use can disrupt the chemical balance of the pool water. Chlorine and other sanitisers used in pools can become depleted more quickly, requiring more frequent chemical treatments to maintain proper disinfection levels. Improper chemical balance can cause skin and eye irritation among swimmers.

- Increased Maintenance: Overuse often leads to more frequent cleaning and maintenance requirements. Pool filters, pumps, and other equipment may need more frequent servicing or replacement due to increased wear and tear.

- Physical Wear and Tear: Continuous use can cause physical damage to the pool structure and surrounding areas. Walls, floors, and poolside materials may deteriorate faster, requiring repairs or refurbishment sooner than expected.
