5 Common Summer Pool Problems (And How to Prevent Them)
Florida summers are perfect for poolside fun—but the heat, humidity, and heavy use can create a few headaches if your pool isn’t properly maintained. At Blue Chip Pool Service, we’ve seen it all, and we’re here to help homeowners in Boca Raton and Coral Springs stay ahead of the most common summer pool issues.
Here’s what to watch out for—and how our weekly service helps keep your pool clear, safe, and summer-ready.
1. Algae Blooms
The Problem: Warm, stagnant water is the perfect breeding ground for algae.
The Fix: Regular brushing, vacuuming, and proper chlorine levels keep algae at bay. Our team monitors and balances your pool chemistry weekly to stop blooms before they start.
2. Cloudy Water
The Problem: Sunscreen, sweat, and extra swimmers in the summer can throw off your water balance fast.
The Fix: We test and adjust your pool’s pH and sanitizer levels to maintain crystal-clear water—even during pool party season.
3. Clogged Skimmer Baskets
The Problem: Palm leaves, bugs, and debris build up quickly in the summer. If left unchecked, this can strain your pump.
The Fix: We clean out your skimmer and pump baskets every visit to keep things flowing smoothly.
4. High Chlorine Demand
The Problem: Sunlight breaks down chlorine faster in the summer, especially during heatwaves.
The Fix: We keep an eye on your chlorine levels and adjust as needed to ensure safe, sanitized water all week long.
5. Equipment Wear and Tear
The Problem: Heat and humidity can wear out pool pumps and filters faster.
The Fix: We perform a visual inspection of your equipment every visit so we can spot issues early—before they become expensive repairs.
