In all the excitement (and sometimes stress) that comes with new pool construction, some pool owners fail to complete one very important step: having a company lined up to start pool service when the construction is complete. Maybe they think they won’t need pool service right away, or perhaps they just never thought about it, but in this blog post we want to talk about the importance of choosing a pool service company for your new pool in a timely manner.
As far as the question of when to begin pool service, our recommendation is that your first service should be completed as the water is being added to your new pool. That way, a pool service technician can balance the water right away and not allow untreated water to negatively impact the surfaces of your new pool. The same advice pertains if you are refilling your pool after draining it for repairs (or for some other reason).
The water in Temecula, Murrieta, and Menifee is notoriously hard. It contains high concentrations of dissolved minerals that can wreak havoc on pool surfaces, as well as pool equipment. In addition, untreated water can foster algae and bacterial growth, which can quickly create unsafe swimming conditions in your new pool. You might think that the new water going into your pool is “clean,” but unfortunately, this is not usually the case. It can actually be quite harmful to your pool until it is properly treated.
To have a company in place as your water is being added means that you need to start researching and contacting pool service companies in Temecula, Murrieta, or Menifee as your pool is approaching completion. As you do so, ask each company about their approach to treating the water in new pools. At Aqua System, we have a very specific startup process that we offer, which we would be happy to outline for you!
If you have a new pool that’s already full of water, we can absolutely still help you, just don’t wait too much longer to have someone come out to treat the water! The longer you wait, the more difficult it can be to get the water in balance.
