The heat of summer can easily be relieved by a quick dip in the cool, clear water of a backyard pool. In a market like California, where the heat can get pretty high, a pool on a property can add great value. But, with over 1,600 public access pools closed by the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health, showing off a safe, clean and healthy swim spot can only increase chances of selling the property.
Many of the closures in the Los Angeles County area were due to the water having turned cloudy or green. This is caused by too much debris and not enough disinfectant, like chlorine, being used in the pool. An environment like that can be a breeding ground for bacteria and microscopic parasites that cause illnesses. Other issues that have caused pool closings are more mechanical. If the drains are broken or have missing covers this increases chances for electrocution or a trapped limb which could cause drowning.
Simply maintaining the suggested regimen of cleaning and proper levels of chlorine can ensure the water is safe. Regular maintenance of the pools filtration system will be sure the pool itself is safe. A reputable pool cleaning company can take care of these issues and have a sparkling, refreshing looking pool available for showing to prospective buyers.
