Dirty Swimming Pools

Most pool owners hate dirty swimming pools, but unfortunately, we’re constantly working to keep it from happening.

As I’ve stated in my other posts, it doesn’t take long for Mother Nature to reclaim water in any swimming pool of any size.

She sends dirt, dust, bugs, leaves, branches, green algae, mosquito larvae, etc, and before you know it – you can have an ecosystem right in your backyard.

That’s why dirty swimming pools are a problem and must be a major consideration for anyone planning to install a swimming pool.

City Governments are Against Dirty Swimming Pools

Also, be aware that most cities have ordinances against allowing swimming pools to turn green because they become a breeding ground for mosquitoes.

I know in my city, they have someone that flies around in a chopper surveying dirty swimming pools, and then they send the men in black (city inspector) to your front door to issue a citation.

Other Causes of Dirty Swimming Pools

• Plugged pool filters that do not allow the water to circulate
• The pool pump is not cycling on a regular schedule because the breaker is tripped or the timer is not properly set
• Lack of regular DIY swimming pool service to do skimming, vacuuming, and adding chemicals
• The rising cost of pool service and chemicals has become too great due to hard times or budget problems
• Procrastination and just plain lazy (I’m often guilty of this one)

Conclusion:

I hope this post on dirty swimming pools has given you a wake-up call or at least helped you with your pool service search for the Pros/Cons of installing a swimming pool.
