4 Signs Your Swimming Pool Needs Repair

Eventually, all swimming pools will require service and repairs. Neglecting these necessary repairs can result in further damage to your pool and could end up costing you a significant amount of time and money. If you want your swimming pool to stay in optimal shape, it is important to pay attention to its condition. Here are some signs to keep an eye out for that could mean your pool needs attention.

Discolored Grout

This will happen in pretty much any swimming pool and is due to a combination of factors. Dirt and grime get lodged in the tiny spaces in the grout and the discoloration comes from the chemical reactions between the water in your swimming pool and the grout material itself. The best way to clean grout is by using an acidic solution that will break down the grime and reverse discoloration.

Blocked Pipework

If you notice that your pool water is becoming dirty, but your filter seems to be working properly, you may have an issue with the piping that draws the water to and from the filter. The piping that moves water to and from your pool filter is susceptible to debris which can find its way into your pool. Professionals can go into the pipes to clear out any blockages so that your filter can do its job.

Malfunctioning Heater

If your heater is not working, there could be a number of possible issues. It is possible that the heater is simply not getting adequate water flow or even airflow to function properly. If the heater is getting the water flow and airflow it needs, it is also possible that the controls are malfunctioning - especially on an older unit. If your heating unit is aging, failing, or just energy inefficient, we can help determine if it can be repaired or needs to be replaced.

Cracks in the Walls

Concrete pools can develop cracks over time. The cracks may be due to something as simple as repeated expansion and contraction as the temperature changes. If cracks are not dealt with quickly, they can develop into much more costly leaks. If a crack is small enough, it may be able to be sealed but if the cracks are larger or more widespread, your pool may need a complete resurfacing. On average, a concrete pool should be resurfaced every three to seven years. Resurfacing proactively - before cracks develop - will save your pool from possible leaks and worse damage.
