Owning a villa with a private pool in Phuket or Koh Samui is a dream come true — but keeping that pool sparkling blue takes more than just topping up the water. A well-maintained pool not only delights your guests but also protects your property investment. Here’s a guide every villa owner should know.
Why Pool Care Matters
A clean, safe pool is one of the most important features guests look for when booking a holiday villa. Poor maintenance can lead to cloudy water, damaged equipment, and negative reviews. Regular care extends the life of your pool and ensures a five-star guest experience.
The Basics of Pool Maintenance
- Water Balance: Test pH, chlorine, and alkalinity weekly. Proper balance prevents algae growth and protects skin and eyes.
- Filtration System: Run pumps daily (6–8 hours) to keep water circulating and clean. Backwash filters regularly.
- Cleaning: Skim leaves, vacuum the pool floor, and brush walls to prevent build-up.
- Chlorination: Use the right dosage of chlorine or saltwater system care to keep water crystal clear.
Common Issues and Quick Fixes
- Cloudy Water: Often due to poor filtration or low chlorine — shock treatment can help.
- Algae Growth: Usually from high pH or poor circulation. Brush and treat with algaecide.
- Scaling or Stains: Caused by unbalanced water — regular testing prevents this.
