Your pool is meant to be a place of relaxation, fun, and beauty, but without proper care, even the cleanest-looking water can hide buildup that affects your pool’s appearance, safety, and water quality. One of the most overlooked, but absolutely essential, tasks in regular pool maintenance is vacuuming and brushing your pool weekly.

Especially during summer, when your pool sees more use and is exposed to sunscreen, heat, and debris, sticking to this routine keeps everything working and looking its best. Let’s break down why it matters and how Eagle Pools Services can make it effortless for you.

Why Vacuuming Weekly Makes a Big Difference

Your pool’s filtration system is powerful, but it doesn’t catch everything. Fine particles like dirt, dust, hair, and organic matter settle to the bottom of your pool over time. Left alone, this debris starts to break down, feeding algae and disrupting your chemical balance.

Weekly vacuuming helps prevent:

• Cloudy water is caused by suspended particles
• Increased chlorine use due to excess organic matter
• Strain on your pool equipment, especially filters and pumps
• Unsightly dirt or staining on the pool floor

Whether you use a manual vacuum or an automatic cleaner, staying on top of this task will keep your water clear and your system running more efficiently.

Brushing the Pool: The Secret to Long-Term Clarity

Vacuuming is only half the battle. Your pool walls, steps, and waterline are prime spots for algae growth, especially in areas with lower water circulation. That’s where brushing comes in.

Brushing once a week helps:

• Prevent algae and scale buildup, especially in corners, behind ladders, and near tile grout
• Keep surfaces smooth and stain-free, extending the life of your pool finish
• Loosen dirt before vacuuming, making the cleaning process more effective
• Maintain your pool’s aesthetics, keeping walls bright and inviting

Brushing is particularly important if you have a pebble or textured finish, which can trap fine particles more easily than smooth plaster.
