The short answer is – yes. However, that’s probably not the only thing you wanted to hear.
Keeping your pool clean and chemically optimal for swimming is hard work. Some people don’t have the time or patience to do this and they defer this job to professionals such as Payan Pools.
However you decide to keep your pool clean, it will still need to be vacuumed regularly if you want your pool to be clean.
Why Do We Vacuum Our Pools?
Some pool owners think that it is enough to skim the surface of the pool for debris, and that the water filter will do the rest.
However, that is not exactly true. Even though our water filters are fairly successful at filtering the debris out of the water, there is the third kind of debris – the one which will just sink to the bottom of the pool.
It’s simply a part of pool maintenance, and it can be especially important for infinity pools.
What If I Don’t Vacuum the Pool?
If you choose not to vacuum the pool, you won’t notice any difference; at first. However, rest assured that the debris collecting at the bottom of the pool will constantly interfere with the quality of your pool’s water.
At first, you may be able to offset the problem by adding more chemicals to deal with the problem, but that is not a sustainable solution in the long run. Not only will you spend a lot more money on chemicals, but you can also compromise the safety of the water with so much chemicals in it.
Eventually, the water will stop being crystal clear and you may even start seeing some algae growing on the bottom and the walls of your pool.
Why Do People Not Like Vacuuming Their Pools?
Apart from being time-consuming, vacuuming the pool means carrying around an unwieldly hose and covering every inch of your pool’s surface in order to clean it from the debris which may or may not be there (but trust me, it is always there).
If you have an in-ground pool, that can mean a lot of bending over to reach every bit of the surface of the pool.
Vacuuming a swimming pool is just one maintenance job out of the many required to keep everything clean and running efficiently. Some people decide that the upkeep of a pool is too difficult and when this happens, they remove it. Reverse Pools can fill in your swimming pool and convert the space into a garden or deck.
Is There a Better Way?
Nowadays, just like there are automated vacuum cleaners for your home, you can find automated vacuum cleaners for your pool, too.
These devices will do the job for you, but be cautious. They can get stuck behind railings or the steps, so you cannot leave them alone and think your job is done. But at least you don’t have to bend over and lug the big hose around.
Keeping the pool clean is a never-ending task which some people are happier to do than others. However you feel about this task, if you want your pool to be clean and beautiful, it needs to be done.
