Discover how to maintain a clean and safe swimming environment for both you and your furry friends. At Gold Medal Pools, we understand the challenges and joys of having pets enjoy your pool. This guide provides essential tips on accommodating your pet’s needs without compromising pool cleanliness or their safety.
Pre-Swim Considerations
Before allowing your dog to dive in, assess if your pool environment suits their breed and swimming ability. For dogs prone to shedding or those with dirt-loving habits, consider the extra maintenance needed to keep your pool clean. Gold Medal Pools helps you understand the specific needs of your dog’s breed, ensuring they can safely enjoy the water.
Routine Cleaning Post-Dip
When dogs swim, they introduce fur and potential contaminants into your pool. Regular cleaning of the pool’s surface, filter, skimmer, and pump baskets is crucial to handling this additional debris. Implement routine manual cleaning and monitor your pool’s filtration system to keep the water inviting and safe for all users.
Chlorine Management
While chlorine keeps your pool hygienic, it’s important to manage its levels to safeguard your pet’s health. Maintain chlorine concentrations within the safe range of 1-3 milligrams per liter and rinse your dog after swimming to minimize chemical residue on their fur. Gold Medal Pools ensures your pool chemicals are balanced for both human and pet safety.
