The Arizona Summer Pool Challenge
With temperatures regularly soaring above 100°F, water evaporation speeds up, chlorine breaks down faster, and debris from monsoons or dry winds builds up quickly. Without a solid maintenance routine, your pool can quickly turn cloudy—or worse, green.
Arizona summers also attract more swimmers, which increases oils, sunscreen residue, and organic matter in your pool. All these factors make weekly care more important than ever.
Essential Tips to Keep Your Pool Crystal Clear
- Skim and brush daily to remove dirt and prevent algae.
- Run your pool pump 8–12 hours a day for proper circulation.
- Shock the pool weekly to combat the heat’s effect on chlorine.
- Maintain balanced water chemistry, especially pH and stabilizer levels.
- Check and clean filters regularly, as they clog faster in dry, dusty conditions.
- Cover your pool when not in use to reduce evaporation and keep out debris.
By staying consistent with maintenance, your pool can stay cool, clear, and summer-ready—even in Arizona’s harshest months.
