🚨 Is Austin's summer heat secretly damaging your pool? 🚨
When temperatures hit 100°F+, your pool can lose water, burn through chlorine, and become the perfect breeding ground for algae faster than most homeowners realize.
Here are 4 summer pool mistakes that can cost you:
❌ Ignoring low water levels
❌ Waiting too long to test chemicals
❌ Skipping weekly brushing
❌ Forgetting to clean the filter
The result? Green water, expensive repairs, and a pool that's anything but refreshing.
✅ Check water levels weekly
✅ Test water at least twice a week
✅ Brush surfaces regularly
✅ Clean your filter every 2–4 weeks
A few minutes of maintenance can save you hundreds in repair costs and keep your pool ready for every backyard gathering.
