Why a Routine Pool Service is Good for Your Equipment and Your Finances
Is your pool pump making more of a racket these days? You may be concerned that what is a minor matter now will be an expensive repair on your hands by next month. The prospect of having to put in a new filter or heater before they have run their course can be unsettling when you consider the price tag.
You would not be alone in feeling that way. For over 30 years we at Terry’s Pool Service have been of assistance to homeowners in Tallahassee and vicinity, seeing to it their pools are in good order. Give us a ring at (850) 808-7882 and our team will be happy to discuss the state of your pool. We like to think of ourselves as your local pool care team; our aim is to see off any repair bills before they come to pass.
Pool owners are apt to find out the hard way that equipment rarely gives up one day without warning. More often it is a slow process, small things being overlooked until the damage is done and you are left to deal with it.
A regular service will put an end to that. In the following we explain how some consistent maintenance goes about protecting both your budget and your gear.
Letting Small Problems Go Is How They Become Costly Repairs
Your pool has an interconnected system of equipment. One part has trouble and the rest have to compensate; the added strain takes its toll.
Take some of the usual suspects:
- A clogged filter has the pump working overtime and will cut its life short
- Water chemistry that is out of whittle will in time corrode the metal in your seals and heater
- An O-ring or gasket in poor shape allows water to go where it ought not
- Skimmers and baskets in need of clearing put a drag on the whole system
- What is a leak at a fitting today could have the pump running dry and burning out tomorrow
It is a fact that all of these are inexpensive to put right if you are on top of them, but not so much if you are not. Put in a ten dollar gasket and you may well avoid replacing the pump down the line.
The Sort of Things Our 10-Step Process Will Find
We do not just skim leaves with our 10-step cleaning procedure. It is an opportunity for our technicians to get a look at your equipment and note any signs of impending failure.
They will be checking the condition of your equipment, the water chemistry and circulation. We include all the standard chemicals with each visit to keep the water in balance, something that does much to spare your heater and other metal from corrosion.
We also make sure you are in the know. An “on the way” text precedes every call and once we are done you will receive an email with photos and the results of our water test. No need to guess as to what the situation is with your pool.
Water Balance and the Life of Your Equipment
In a quiet sort of way, water chemistry is what protects your equipment. Too much acidity and it will eat into your plumbing and heater components; too many minerals and you have scale to choke the system.
It is not the most glamorous of chores to have your water balanced week in and week out, yet nothing else will do as much to put more years into your pump, filter and heater. It is the sort of steady hand that reaps its rewards over time.
Our Repair Department is on Your Side
Parts wear out in spite of the best maintenance. When it comes to that, it helps to have a team already familiar with your pool.

For the Sake of Your Pool and Your Wallet
Do the numbers and it is plain to see. There is far more to be spent on emergency fixes and early replacement of equipment than on a regular service. With some consistent attention your pump and heater will last and you will be out of pocket less in the long run.
