Saltwater pools are a luxurious addition to any home, offering softer water and a more natural swimming experience. However, maintaining them requires specialized care to keep the water clean, balanced, and safe for swimmers. At Pelican Pools, we provide expert saltwater pool cleaning services to ensure your pool remains pristine and functioning efficiently.
Why Is Saltwater Pool Cleaning Essential?
Saltwater pools rely on a salt chlorinator to convert salt into chlorine, which sanitizes the water. While they are generally easier to maintain than traditional chlorine pools, they still require regular cleaning and upkeep to avoid issues such as:
- Salt Buildup: Excessive salt deposits can accumulate on the pool’s surface, tiles, and equipment, leading to corrosion and inefficiency.
- pH Imbalance: Saltwater pools can experience fluctuations in pH levels, which can cause irritation for swimmers and damage to pool surfaces.
- Debris Accumulation: Leaves, dirt, and other debris can clog filters and compromise water quality.
- Algae Growth: Without proper cleaning, saltwater pools can still develop algae, especially during warm weather.
Comprehensive Saltwater Pool Cleaning Services
Pelican Pools specializes in thorough and professional saltwater pool cleaning, tailored to meet the unique needs of these systems. Our services include:
1. Salt Cell Cleaning
The salt cell is a critical component of your chlorinator system. Over time, calcium deposits can build up, reducing its efficiency. Our technicians carefully clean the salt cell to ensure optimal chlorine production.
2. Water Testing and Balancing
We conduct detailed water testing to check pH, alkalinity, and salt levels. Based on the results, we adjust chemical levels to maintain a safe and balanced swimming environment.
3. Surface Cleaning
Our team removes dirt, debris, and salt deposits from pool surfaces, tiles, and walls. This prevents staining, scaling, and damage to your pool’s interior.
4. Filter Cleaning
Proper filtration is crucial for a saltwater pool. We clean and inspect the filter to ensure it effectively removes impurities and maintains water clarity.
5. Algae Prevention and Treatment
If algae growth is detected, we apply safe and effective treatments to eliminate it and prevent future outbreaks.
6. Equipment Inspection and Maintenance
We thoroughly inspect your pool equipment, including the pump, chlorinator, and heater, to identify and address any issues early.
