Why Spring Changes Your Pool
Winter on the Gold Coast does not stop your pool. It stays open year round. But spring brings big changes. The sun gets stronger each week. The water warms up.
Warm water and strong sun use up chlorine fast. Chlorine keeps algae away. When chlorine runs out, algae grows and the water turns green.
Your family and friends want to jump in the warm water. More swimmers in the pool use up chlorine too. Kids have fun in warm water. But more kids also means more chlorine use.
All of this means spring is busy. You need help to keep your water clean and safe and healthy.
Spring Pool Maintenance Jobs You Can Do
We know your time is short. Many pool owners skip spring jobs. But you can do some jobs and save money. Here are eight spring pool jobs to do each week:
- Skim leaves off the top
- Empty the skimmer basket
- Empty the pump basket

These jobs take time but save money. Your pool stays healthier when you help. Our winter pool post shows more steps. Spring care uses the same rules as winter care.
Doing It Yourself vs Getting Help
