What’s Involved in Maintaining an Above Ground Pool?

What’s involved in maintaining an above ground pool? Bonnie & Clyde’s Pools and Spas is a great source to access for all your above ground pool questions and supplies. We have been serving the DFW area for more than four decades. Since our beginning, we have been helping families find affordable entertainment with above ground pool enjoyment. Let’s look at what you need to know about maintaining your backyard center of action.   

4 Components to Consider for Maintenance

There are several aspects of pool maintenance that you need to familiarize yourself with as you launch into swim season. When it comes to keeping any pool healthy for the happy swimmers, you need to care for four basic components: the water, the interior, the filter system, and the skimmers. 

Water

First, the most obvious thing that pool care involves is water. If you haven’t heard it yet, here is a most helpful tip. You want to familiarize yourself with the importance of having clean and clear water. Keeping the water sparkling is vital for pool safety and enjoyment.

Interior

Next, the interior of the pool is also in constant need of attention. In order to keep the water lucid and unclouded, you must also keep the interior clean and in good condition. We have a variety of pools in various shapes and sizes from Backyard Leisure® and Sharkline® that have lovely interiors. Let us help you cover all of the steps to keep the interior beautiful.

Filter System

Another thing the pool cannot function without is the filter system. The filter and its components are in place to keep the pool and the people using it safe. At Bonnie & Clyde’s, we have quality pump and filtration systems available. There are various types of filters, also, but we recommend sand filters for your above ground pool. Our knowledgeable staff can tell you how these awesome filters work. 

Skimmer

Finally, the skimmer is essential to a pool running successfully. It does the important job of pulling the pool water toward the filter to allow it to do its cleansing work. Your filtration system then pushes the clean water back out for splashing pleasure.

3 C’s to Cover during Maintenance

So, what’s involved in maintaining an above ground pool? Now that we’ve covered the components of the pool that will need attention, there is also one more important item to cover. You will quickly become familiar with the three Cs of above ground pool maintenance. 

Chemistry

Balancing the water is possibly the trickiest part of maintenance to master. We have all of the pool supplies you will need. Our great selection of quality pool chemicals includes our own privately labeled line designed specifically for Texas. We can help you learn the ideal levels to look for when you do your weekly water tests.

Circulation

The water must stay in motion as much as possible to stay clean. For every ten degrees of temperature, figure in an hour of pump time. The longer you can afford to run the pump, the better.

Cleaning

Finally, the pool must be cleaned regularly to keep it safe for the splashing fun. Our friendly team can help you find the best equipment to make this task simple — from brushes and nets to automatic cleaners.
