Questions people ask
Can a neighbor balance my pool chemicals?
It is safest to keep chemicals with the owner or a licensed pool service. A neighbor can dip a test strip and send you the reading so you can decide what to add.
How often should a pool be skimmed?
Weekly is common, and pools under trees or after storms may need more. During a heavy leaf drop, skimming every day keeps the baskets from clogging.
Can a teen skim our pool?
Not on their own. Pools carry real risks from water, chemicals and equipment, so this one is listed for adults.
