Standing at the edge of your newly finished swimming pool should be a moment of pure joy. The tiles gleam, the water chemistry seems alright, and everything looks exactly as you envisioned. On the surface, everything seems ready for a celebratory cannonball – or is it?
While it may be tempting to jump right in, taking the time for a professional opinion is crucial to ensuring your new pool is safe and ready for enjoyment. Here are just a few reasons why new pool inspections are essential:
- Monitoring Chemical Levels. Maintaining the right chemical balance in your pool is essential for swimmer comfort and health. On the other hand, an imbalance could lead to skin and eye irritation, cloudy water, or even damage to your pool equipment. A professional inspection includes thoroughly analyzing the pool’s water chemistry to ensure the pH, chlorine, and alkalinity levels are within a safe and comfortable range for pool users.
- Post-Construction Quality Control. Even with the most meticulous construction, a new pool can have hidden issues. New pool inspections act as final quality control checks, ensuring all debris has been removed, filtration systems are operating efficiently, and there are no leaks or structural concerns.
- Identifying Health Risks. Although a sparkling new pool looks inviting, it can sometimes harbor unseen health risks, such as black algae or contamination from construction residue. During a new pool inspection, the inspector will perform water quality tests to verify whether these potential hazards are present. If they discover any, they’ll recommend remedial actions to make your pool a healthy environment for family and friends.
Your new pool is a significant investment in your outdoor enjoyment; therefore, take the time to complete these essential checks before your first swim. If you’d like to learn more about new pool inspections or schedule an inspection appointment, contact our team at A+ Pool Leak Detectives today.
