As Melbourne homeowners know, maintaining a swimming pool requires dedicated attention, especially given our city's variable climate. At Melbourne VIC Pool Repair Pros, we've compiled essential maintenance tips to help you keep your pool in pristine condition year-round.

Essential Weekly Pool Maintenance Tasks

Regular maintenance is crucial for preventing major issues and extending your pool's lifespan. Here are the key weekly tasks:

  • Test water chemistry levels (pH, chlorine, alkalinity)
  • Clean skimmer and pump baskets
  • Check filter pressure
  • Brush pool walls and floor
  • Vacuum the pool surface

Water Chemistry Management for Melbourne Pools

Melbourne's weather can significantly impact pool water chemistry. Maintain these ideal levels:

  • pH: 7.2-7.6
  • Chlorine: 1-3 ppm
  • Alkalinity: 80-120 ppm
  • Stabilizer: 30-80 ppm

If you're noticing persistent chemistry issues, our professional pool maintenance service can help restore proper balance.

Equipment Care and Maintenance

Your pool equipment requires regular attention. Watch for these common signs of wear:

  • Unusual noises from the pump
  • Decreased water flow
  • Visible cracks or leaks

If you notice water loss or suspect a leak, our pool leak detection specialists can identify and resolve the issue quickly.
