Swimming Pool Maintenance

In a perfect world you would have your swimming pool constructed and it would remain clean and luxurious and the water bacteria-free throughout the Maryland summer months. In the real world of swimming pool ownership, though, it is more complicated than that and owning an inground swimming pool in Washington D.C. and surrounding areas means you will need to take measures to keep it clean with regularly scheduled swimming pool maintenance. For some pool owners — the do-it-yourselfers — service and swimming pool maintenance is a breeze, for others, they simply want to swim without the hassle and time it takes to clean and maintain an inground swimming pool. Either method is acceptable, you just need to know that if you’re going to clean and maintain it yourself, you will need to be diligent about it or you run the risk of algae taking hold.
