Virginia summers are famously humid, hot and rather unforgiving. In these dog days, it is important to stay cool. If you have a swimming pool installed in your backyard, you can stay cool while also having fun. It is a much better alternative to public pools, which are often crowded. If you choose to get your own, you will need the help of a Residential Pool Maintenance and Service Woodbridge VA.

Over the winter, you definitely will not want to be diving into the water in the cold Virginia climate. However, once spring or summer hits and the weather heats up, you will first need to get the pool serviced before you can dive back in.

This basic maintenance is called an opening or reopening service, and it involves several different processes. The walls are inspected to make sure there are no cracks or anything else that is worrisome. They are then brushed or vacuumed to get any dirt or debris off for a clean and inviting appearance. All equipment such as pipes, drains, and filters are inspected for damage and to make sure that they are in great working condition.

A few days after this initial opening service, they will return to check on the pH balance of the water and look for any other potential issues. If all is well, then you and your family will get the go-ahead to jump in and cool off.

For the entirety of the summer, you should have regular visits to keep things serviced. This means adding chemicals if needed to clean or rebalance the water. The equipment is checked each time to make sure nothing has gone wrong since the last visit. Also, any pesky leaves, sticks or other debris that may have fallen in will be filtered out so that the water is clean and inviting for you and any guests.

To keep these visits regular, you can sign up in advance to ensure they do not get interrupted. The schedule depends entirely on what is open and convenient for you, and how many visits you require. Multiweekly, bi-weekly, weekly and even monthly are available.

When fall descends upon you, then it is time to prepare for the colder weather. This service is called a pool closing. Winterizing chemicals are added to the water to keep it from blooming while not in use. The water level is taken down in case it freezes. Filters are emptied and a cover is placed over the entire length. Any equipment is put in storage to keep it out of harm's way.

Even during the winter, you should schedule occasional visits for cold weather maintenance. They may add more chemicals as needed, and check for damage due to winter storms. This prevents bigger problems in the future, so it is a good idea to schedule everything now, rather than later.
