Is Your Pool Begging for Help? 5 Signs It’s Time to Call a Pro
Your pool might look calm and inviting on the surface, but underneath, it could be crying out for help. Whether you’ve had your pool for years or just opened it for the season, there are times when a little DIY won’t cut it—and that’s where we come in.
At Image Pool Service, we believe pool ownership should be more relaxing than stressful. So if your pool’s been acting up, here are five signs it’s time to call in the experts.
1. The Water Just Won’t Stay Clear
You’ve shocked it. You’ve balanced the chemicals. You’ve run the filter nonstop. And still—cloudy, green, or murky water. If your pool looks more like a swamp than a summer escape, it could be a sign of deeper issues like poor circulation, failing equipment, or even algae blooms that need professional treatment.
2. Your Equipment Sounds… Off
Pool pumps and filters aren’t silent, but they shouldn’t sound like they’re auditioning for a horror movie. Grinding, screeching, or rattling noises could mean worn-out bearings, clogged impellers, or motor trouble. Ignoring it can lead to costly replacements down the line.
3. Cracks or Damage in the Pool Surface
Whether you’ve got a vinyl liner, concrete, or fiberglass pool, visible cracks, tears, or rough patches are a red flag. These can lead to structural damage, water loss, and even injury. A professional inspection can determine whether it’s cosmetic or something more serious.
4. Your Pool Isn’t Circulating Properly
If your jets feel weak or the water seems stagnant, your circulation system might be struggling. Poor circulation affects everything—from water clarity to chemical distribution—and can lead to bigger problems if not addressed.
5. You’re Spending More Time Fixing Than Swimming
