As the temperatures rise and the days get longer, there’s nothing more inviting than a sparkling, clean pool in your own backyard. But to truly enjoy it all summer long, preparation is key. We help homeowners across New Jersey get their pools ready for a safe, fun, and stress-free season.
Start with a Deep Clean
Before your first swim of the season, it’s essential to clear out all debris—leaves, twigs, and anything that accumulated over the off-season. Skim the surface, vacuum the pool floor, and clean out the skimmer and pump baskets.
Don’t forget to scrub the pool walls and tiles to eliminate built-up algae or scale. This not only improves appearance but helps prevent water chemistry issues later on.
Balance Your Water Chemistry
One of the most important steps is checking and balancing your pool’s chemical levels. Improper pH, chlorine, alkalinity, or calcium levels can lead to algae growth, skin irritation, or even equipment damage.
Gorlin Pools offers expert water testing and balancing services so you can enjoy healthy, safe, clean, sparkling, crystal-clear pool water… every day.
Inspect and Service Your Equipment
Your pool’s pump, filter, heater, and other components should be inspected and serviced before heavy summer use. A malfunctioning pump can ruin water circulation, while a dirty filter can compromise cleanliness.
Our technicians can check every part of your system to ensure it’s operating efficiently and safely.
Don’t Skip the Safety Check
If you have young children or guests visiting, safety is non-negotiable. Inspect pool fences, gates, ladders, and safety covers. Make sure they meet code and function properly. Consider installing a pool alarm for added peace of mind.
