The Effects of Rainwater on Your Pool
At first glance, rainwater may not seem bad for your pool. However, rain is more than just H2O falling. Rain is often chock full of contaminants like dirt, dust, pollen, and other airborne pollutants/irritants. When this contaminated rainwater falls into your pool, it changes the delicate chemical balance that keeps your pool water in tip-top shape.
Rainwater typically is also acidic, which affects your pool’s pH balance. If your water becomes too acidic, you’ll potentially experience skin irritation and corrosion of your pool’s tile and equipment (i.e., pumps, vacuums, filters, etc.). In addition, if your pool’s pH levels become too acidic, your chlorine will become significantly less effective, promoting algae and bacteria growth.
Rain doesn’t only affect your water’s chemical balance – it can carry dirt and debris into your pool, as well. Whether directly or by runoff, leaves, sticks, rocks, and other detritus can wash into your pool. This runoff will clog your filters, stain your pool tiles, and cause significant discoloring of your pool and decking.
How to Prevent Further Damage
After a rainstorm, you might face the consequences of rainwater in your pool. There are ways to help mitigate these consequences, such as:
- Test and Calibrate Water Chemistry: test your pool’s pH, chlorine, and alkalinity. Add or adjust this chemical balance to make your pool safe for swimming.
- Remove Debris and Clean Your Filters: remove all debris from your pool and clean your filters. This will help prevent staining of your tiles and ensure your pool water stays clean.
- Brush, Agitate, and Vacuum: After cleaning your filters, brush and scrub your pool surfaces to agitate smaller debris and help lift them to be cleaned and filtered.
While these steps will help in the immediate aftermath of a rainstorm, the best way to fix the damage caused by rain is to schedule a professional tile cleaning – with Supreme Pool Tile Cleaning!
