You deserve the kind of pool service in Phoenix, AZ, that is efficient, affordable and professional. There’s nothing better than being able to cool off in your own pool on a hot summer’s day. That’s the good part, but unfortunately, pools don’t clean or maintain themselves. Luckily, our Phoenix, AZ pool cleaning service and pool repair service can help you out.
Arizona is a very dry place, especially in summer. The heat can create surprisingly high winds at times, which often develop into large dust storms. Even without dust storms, you’ll still get a lot of dust and grit settling to the bottom just from the amount of dust in the air on a daily basis. All that grit and dirt will need to be cleaned out, sooner or later, and that’s where we come in.
You can help to minimize the problem by covering up the pool when not in use. That can be a lot of work if you don’t have an automatic cover, but it will cut down on the amount of dust falling into your pool every day.
Are you running your pumps long enough when it’s hot? If you want a pool that is low maintenance, then you need to run the pumps about one hour for every ten degree of heat (http://phoenix.about.com/od/pools/a/poolmaint.html). This is how you will get a proper and thorough circulation going. So, if it’s 90 degrees on a hot day, that’s nine hours of pump running you’ll need to keep your pool maintenance costs down a minimum.
You also need to clean out the hair and lint pot in the pool pump regularly. An accumulation of debris here will slow down circulation and create more problems for you. The skimmer basket also needs to be cleaned regularly. Remember, a good healthy pool circulation will keep your maintenance costs down to very acceptable levels.
A little bit about Phoenix:
Phoenix is the largest city in Arizona and the state capital. It was founded in 1865 and incorporated in 1881. It is also the sixth largest city in the USA with a population of close to 1.5 million people (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phoenix,_Arizona).
This is one of the hottest cities in the USA, by temperature, that is. An all-time high of 122 degrees was recorded in June, 1990. It is also one of the sunniest places to be in America. On average, the sun shines bright for 85% of its observable time in the sky (http://www.visitphoenix.com/about-phoenix/facts/index.aspx).
There are approximately 350,000 private pools in the greater Phoenix area with close to 30 public pools. The average age of a house in the area is 23 years, but the average age of pools is lower at around 10 to 15 years.
