The Ultimate Guide To Swimming Pool Maintenance

Evoke Pools • October 7, 2024

Maintaining a fibreglass swimming pool can seem daunting, especially if you’re new to it. However, with the proper knowledge and planning, keeping your fibreglass pool in pristine condition can be straightforward and enjoyable. Whether you’re contemplating the installation of a new pool or looking to maintain your existing one, understanding the critical aspects of pool maintenance is crucial. In this guide, we’ll explore how choosing the right pool design and location and following a monthly maintenance routine and investing in modern features can simplify your life and extend the life of your fibreglass swimming pool.


Choosing the Right Pool Design for Easy Maintenance

Selecting the appropriate pool design and location of the swimming simplifies your swimming pool maintenance routine. Since our pools are exclusively fibreglass, you’ll already benefit from their smoother surface, which inhibits algae growth and makes cleaning easier. Here’s how the right design can make a difference:


  • Shape & Size: Opt for simpler, geometric shapes which are easier to clean using automatic pool cleaners.
  • Location: Try not to install the pool under your fibreglass swimming pool under or near trees, falling leaves creates a lot of pool maintenance.
  • Will your swimming pool be in or shade?


Seasonal Pool Maintenance Schedule

Maintaining your pool requires different approaches depending on the season. Here’s how you can plan your maintenance tasks throughout the year:


  • Summer:
    • Regularly check and adjust chemical levels due to increased use and higher temperatures.
    • Clean skimmer baskets and filters weekly to handle increased debris.
    • Check for algae in the corners of the pool
    • Check water levels regularly and add water if required. The water level should remain halfway up the skimmer box door.
    • Vacuum pool regularly.
  • Winter:
    • Reduce the frequency of filtration and cleaning as the pool is used less.
    • Keep the pool covered to prevent debris accumulation and maintain water balance, remembering to remove cover regularly to allow the pool water to breath.

Long-Term Benefits of Professional Pool Installation

Investing in professional pool installation can significantly reduce long-term maintenance needs. A fibreglass pool installed by an experienced pool builder ensures that your pool will be structurally sound and require fewer repairs over time.


Here’s how quality installation pays off:


  • Durable Materials: Fibreglass pools are built to last, resist cracks and wear better than other types of pools.
  • Proper Fit: A professional builder ensures that your pool fits has been installed correctly, reducing the risk of leaks or other costly issues.
  • Efficient Equipment: Builders can install energy-efficient pumps and filtration systems that minimise maintenance time and running costs.


Upgrading Your Pool with Modern Features

Modern pool features not only enhance the aesthetics and functionality of your pool but also significantly reduce maintenance efforts:


  • Smart Filtration Systems: Advanced filters can more efficiently keep your pool clean and reduce the frequency of filter changes.
  • Inground solar blanket box’s
