Service your pool year round in Key Largo

In the “Off Season”, May through October, we are often asked if we can cancel or curtail the weekly pool service since the pool will see limited or no use in the coming months. There are many reasons to keep weekly pool service on your pool at Ocean reef or in Key Largo, FL.

First and most important is to check and balance the chemicals each and every week. Stable chemical balancing of pool water prolongs the life of your pool finish and equipment. Chemical such as chlorine, muriatic acid and stabilizer can dissipate and change the character of the water in your pool. The plant growing season and golf course and property fertilizers bring airborne challenges into the pool water chemistry mix. Heavy rains of summer can bring one, two or even three or more inches of rain water, drastically altering the chemical balance of the prior week’s pool service. Water from the deck and roof often wash into the pool and spa, further complicating bacteria and algae control. Water temperatures of 80 degrees or more can be sustained in the pool stimulating algae growth. Reef Tropical uses more chlorine in summer months to care for pools, even though human use is substantially reduced. The pool should also be skimmed and vacuumed weekly, all year round.

With chemicals and labor discussed above, pool service in summer months is actually more costly in the “Off Season”.
