Can I Maintain My Pool Myself?

Absolutely, maintaining your pool can be a rewarding DIY endeavor! At Breakwater Pools, we ensure you’re fully equipped to handle pool maintenance confidently. Here’s how we support you in becoming a self-sufficient pool owner:

Introduction to DIY Pool Maintenance

After we complete your pool, we don’t just leave you to figure it out on your own. We kick things off with what we like to call ‘pool school.’ This initial session happens right after your pool is filled and covers all the basics of pool care.

The First ‘Pool School’ Session

During the first ‘pool school’ session, we provide you with essential information on:

  • Water Chemistry: Understanding pH levels, chlorine, and other chemicals.
  • Equipment Operation: How to use your pump, filter, and heater.
  • Cleaning Techniques: Best practices for skimming, brushing, and vacuuming your pool.

Continuous Support for the First Month

For the first four weeks, we’re right there with you. If you have any questions or something unexpected comes up, we’re just a call away. This ongoing support helps you get comfortable with your pool’s maintenance routine.

The Second ‘Pool School’ Session

We follow up with a second ‘pool school’ lesson to tie up any loose ends and answer any lingering questions. This session ensures you have a thorough understanding of maintaining your pool and can address any challenges you might have encountered in the first few weeks.

DIY vs. Professional Maintenance

We’ve found that about 75% of our customers choose to maintain their pools themselves. The other 25% opt for a pool service company, usually for the convenience. Either way, we make sure every pool owner is equipped with the knowledge and confidence to make the best choice for their lifestyle.

Benefits of DIY Pool Maintenance

Maintaining your pool yourself offers several advantages:

  • Cost Savings: Avoiding the fees of professional services.
  • Personal Satisfaction: Gaining a sense of accomplishment from caring for your pool.
  • Flexibility: Managing your pool on your own schedule.
