• Water Testing and Balancing:

  • Check pH levels, chlorine, alkalinity, calcium hardness, and stabilizer levels.

  • Add chemicals to balance the water as needed.

• Skimming and Cleaning:

  • Remove debris from the water surface using a skimmer.

  • Empty skimmer and pump baskets.

  • Brush pool walls and tiles to prevent algae buildup.

  • Inspect and clean the filter (cartridge, sand, or DE) as needed.

  • Backwash the filter, if applicable.

• Equipment Inspection:

  • Check the pool equipment for proper operation.

  • Examine seals and connections for leaks.

  • Inspect electrical components for safety and functionality.

• Water Circulation:

  • Ensure proper flow and circulation by checking return jets and valves.

• Chemical Inventory:

  • Refill or replace chemical feeders (e.g., chlorine tablets in a floater or feeder).

• Season-Specific Tasks:

  • Summer preparation: Ensure optimal operation for increased pool use.

This checklist can vary depending on the type of pool (e.g., saltwater vs. freshwater) and the specific service package offered.
