Spring Pool Cleaning Checklist for Arizona Pool Owners
Springtime in Arizona signals the start of pool season, and there’s no better time to prepare your pool for warm weather than right now. Whether your pool has been idle through the winter or kept in light use, spring cleaning is essential for a safe, sparkling, and stress-free swimming experience.
At Blue Water Pool Chemical Co, we’ve been helping Arizona pool owners for over 50 years, offering expert cleaning and chemical services that protect your investment. Use this spring pool cleaning checklist to get your pool in top shape — or let our pros handle it for you.
- Skim, Brush & Vacuum
Start by clearing the surface and bottom of your pool of any leaves, debris, or dirt. Skimming, brushing the pool walls, and vacuuming will help prevent algae growth and improve water clarity.
- Check Equipment Functionality
Inspect your pump, filter, and other pool equipment. Look for signs of wear, leaks, or clogs. Make sure your timer is set properly and your system is running smoothly to ensure energy efficiency.
- Clean the Filter
Whether you have a cartridge, sand, or DE filter, spring is the time to give it a thorough clean. A clean filter ensures proper circulation and helps your chemicals work more effectively.
- Balance Water Chemistry
One of the most important steps in pool maintenance is balancing your water. Our team will test and adjust:
- pH levels
- Chlorine
- Alkalinity
- Calcium hardness
- Cyanuric acid
Balanced water protects both swimmers and your pool surfaces.
- Shock the Pool
Shocking your pool with a dose of chlorine eliminates bacteria, contaminants, and any lingering algae. We recommend doing this before the first swim of the season.
- Check Water Level
After winter evaporation, your pool water level may have dropped. Refill as needed to reach the proper skimmer level, then recheck your chemistry.
- Schedule Regular Service
Consistent pool service helps you avoid costly repairs and chemical imbalances. With weekly pool service and chemical checks, Blue Water Pool Chemical Co makes pool ownership easy and worry-free.
