If you live in Rancho Cucamonga or Yucaipa, you know how important your pool becomes once the summer heat hits. But with high UV exposure, dry winds, and heavy usage, keeping your pool clean and safe can be a challenge.
Here are 5 expert pool care tips from PoolTexx to help you enjoy a hassle-free swim season:
1. Test and Balance Your Water Weekly
Hot weather affects chlorine and pH levels quickly. Use a test kit at least once a week—or stop by PoolTexx for professional testing and advice.
2. Shock Your Pool Regularly
Warm water encourages bacteria and algae growth. We recommend shocking your pool every 1–2 weeks, especially after parties or hot spells.
3. Run the Filter Longer
To fight off dust and debris common in our area, run your filter 8–12 hours per day. Make sure to backwash regularly and clean cartridges as needed.
4. Stay Ahead of Algae
Use algaecide preventatively. In areas like Yucaipa and Rancho Cucamonga, where sunny days are constant, algae can grow fast.
5. Schedule a Mid-Summer Equipment Check
Don’t let a minor pump issue ruin your weekend. PoolTexx can inspect your system and catch potential failures before they happen.
Call PoolTexx for custom summer pool care solutions, including water testing, chemicals, and equipment inspections.
