The pool professionals at Bonnie & Clyde’s are available to help you whip your pool into shape for summer fun.

All the Algae

Green is a beautiful color, especially in the spring, but no one wants to dive into a green swimming pool. Algae loves warm weather, and springtime can produce the perfect thriving conditions it needs to bloom out of control. The good news is that an algae problem is fixable, and even preventable, with the proper water care. Make sure to get high-quality chemicals and start treating algae as soon as possible.

Lay of the Land

Landscaping is often a chore that gets overlooked when it comes to going beyond the usual Saturday morning mowing session. But if you stay on top of pruning, raking, and trimming any greenery around your pool now, you can save time later with less debris contamination in your pool’s water. It’s also a great idea to cut back any overhanging branches that could fall down and cause damage during the severe storms that often break out over the warmer months.

Water for the WIN

If you haven’t checked recently, make sure the pool’s water is at the correct level. Chances are, it has dropped over the winter. You can even add to slightly above the fill line to make up for the water loss that happens from natural evaporation. Just keep a check on your chemical levels when you adjust the level.
