With summer heating up in Fairfield County, it’s time to ask the big question: Is your pool truly ready for the season? Whether you own a fiberglass or vinyl-liner pool, a little prep now can save you headaches—and repairs—later.
At Marquee Pools, we’ve been helping Connecticut homeowners get pool-ready since 1987. Here’s a quick summer readiness checklist to help you enjoy a clear, safe, and fully functional pool all season long.
✅ 1. Check Your Water Chemistry
Balanced water is the key to healthy swimming and long-lasting pool components. Test your:
- pH (should be 7.2–7.6)
- Chlorine or sanitizer levels
- Alkalinity and calcium hardness
If things are off, we recommend a professional water test to dial in the perfect balance.
✅ 2. Inspect Your Equipment
Before the season gets too hot:
- Check pump pressure and filter flow
- Listen for unusual noises from the heater or pump
- Inspect for leaks or worn-out O-rings
Catch small issues now—before they become major problems.
✅ 3. Clean Skimmer and Pump Baskets
Debris buildup can lead to reduced water flow and strain on your system. Clean these out at least weekly for optimal performance.
✅ 4. Brush & Vacuum Your Pool
Even if your pool looks clean, brushing the walls and vacuuming the floor helps prevent algae, scale, and dirt buildup.
✅ 5. Inspect Vinyl Liners or Fiberglass Shells
Look for:
- Wrinkles, fading, or bubbling (vinyl liners)
- Cracks or discoloration (fiberglass)
- Any signs of wear or damage around seams or entry points
If anything looks off, give us a call. It’s better to fix it early than mid-summer.
✅ 6. Update Safety Features
Double check that fencing, gates, and alarms are working properly—especially if you have kids or pets around the pool.
✅ 7. Set Your Schedule (Or Let Us Do It!)
Seasonal maintenance is easy to forget—but we don’t. With Marquee’s Total Care Service Plan, we handle everything from openings and closings to service calls, so you can just enjoy the water.
