Pool specialists Deep6 Underwater Pool Repairs explain why now is the best time to spot problems before they grow.
July and August put more strain on swimming pools than any other months. Hot days, full weekends and a steady flow of visitors all take their toll. Now that the crowds have thinned, pool owners and community pool users across the Alicante region have the perfect chance to see how their pool has coped, rather than leaving it until next Summer.
Deep6 Underwater Pool Repairs says a quick check now can stop small faults becoming big ones.
It often starts with the tiles. One or two loose or missing tiles may not look like much, but in a short time they can become a large patch, with algae setting in underneath the surrounding tiles. Worn grout tells a similar story. On steps and small areas, it can be re-grouted underwater, while rust left alone will only grow into a bigger problem.
Then there are the parts of a pool nobody thinks about until something goes wrong. A broken drain cover lets large debris into the system, so it is worth making sure yours is doing its job. The same goes for lighting. Older halogen lights cost more to run, and after many years the seals can break down, letting water in. Switching to LED is more economical and brightens the pool on darker evenings, just as the days start drawing in.
Community pools have good news too. There is no need to drain. Deep6 carries out its repairs underwater, so a pool is closed for only 12 hours. With fewer swimmers around, now is a quieter, more convenient time to book in. Deep6 guarantee their repairs and only use their own formulated underwater cement so repairs blend in giving you a long term solution.
