Owning a pool comes with amazing benefits—but it also requires regular upkeep to stay safe and enjoyable. Sometimes, problems pop up that aren’t always obvious. Here are the top 5 signs your pool might need professional help from the experts at Gorlin Pools.
1. Cloudy or Murky Water
Clear water is a must for a healthy pool. If your water looks dull, hazy, or cloudy even after cleaning, it could mean your filter system isn’t working properly or your chemical balance is off. Left untreated, this can become a breeding ground for bacteria.
2. Algae Growth
Green or black streaks forming along the walls? That’s a classic sign of algae. Even a little algae can spread fast in the summer heat. Our team can shock your pool, scrub down surfaces, and balance the chemistry to prevent regrowth.
3. Unusual Odors
A strong chlorine smell doesn’t mean your pool is clean—it’s actually a sign that contaminants are reacting with chlorine. If your pool smells off, it’s time to have the water tested and corrected by a professional.
4. Low Water Circulation
If you notice weak jets or areas of still water, your pump or filter system may be struggling. Proper circulation is crucial to keeping water clean and safe.
5. Visible Cracks or Leaks
Cracks in the pool walls or tiles, unexplained water loss, or soggy spots around the pool can signal leaks that need immediate repair. The longer you wait, the worse (and more expensive) it can get.
At Gorlin Pools, we specialize in spotting issues early and fixing them fast. Our trained technicians keep your pool running smoothly so you can enjoy the season without stress.
