Spring is in the air, and that means it’s time to shake off the cooler months and get your pool ready for a new season of fun in the sun. Spring pool care is essential to ensure your water is crystal clear, your equipment is running smoothly, and your pool is safe and inviting. A little preparation now can prevent bigger maintenance issues later, keeping your pool in top shape all season long.
Not sure where to start? Here’s your go-to guide for deep pool cleaning and why professional pool maintenance from Eagle Pools Services can make all the difference.
1. Start with a Thorough Pool Cleaning
Winter can leave behind debris, dirt, and even algae, so the first step in your spring pool cleaning routine is to give everything a deep clean. This includes:
- Skimming & Vacuuming: Remove leaves, bugs, and other debris floating on the surface and lurking at the bottom.
- Brushing the Walls & Tiles: Scrub away any buildup or algae on the pool’s walls, steps, and tile lines.
- Emptying Skimmer & Pump Baskets: Clear out any collected debris to keep your filtration system running efficiently.
A sparkling clean pool is the foundation for a great swim season, so don’t skip this step!
2. Check & Maintain Your Pool Equipment
Your pool’s pump, filter, and heater (if you have one) need to be in top condition before swimming season begins. Here’s what to inspect:
- Pool Pump: Check for leaks, unusual noises, or weak water circulation.
- Filter System: Whether you have a sand, cartridge, or DE filter, now is the time to clean or replace it.
- Heater (if applicable): If you use a pool heater, test it to ensure it’s functioning properly before you need it.
Catching issues early saves you from unexpected breakdowns when you’re ready to take that first dip.
3. Balance Chemicals & Test Water Quality
After months of low activity, your pool’s water chemistry likely needs some attention. Testing and balancing your water ensures a safe and comfortable swim. Key things to check include:
- Chlorine Levels: Ensure proper sanitization to keep bacteria and algae at bay.
- pH & Alkalinity: Prevent irritation and equipment damage by keeping levels balanced.
- Calcium Hardness: Avoid scaling or corrosion on pool surfaces and equipment.
If balancing chemicals feels overwhelming, Eagle Pools Services offers expert seasonal pool upkeep to handle it for you.

While DIY maintenance is important, a professional deep pool cleaning at the start of spring ensures that no detail is overlooked.
