May brings a refreshing change in Adelaide. With cooler days, crisp evenings and minimal rainfall, it’s the perfect time to reassess your swimming pool maintenance routine. While the summer heat may have passed, your pool still needs attention to stay clean, safe and swim ready.
At Adelaide Aqua Boys, we understand how Adelaide’s seasonal shifts affect your pool — and we’re here to make autumn pool maintenance easier than ever.
Why Autumn Pool Care Matters
Even though the sun isn’t as harsh in May, your pool doesn’t just take care of itself. Falling leaves, fluctuating temperatures and reduced pool usage can create the perfect environment for algae and bacteria if maintenance is neglected. Adelaide’s mild autumn weather (average highs of 21°C and lows around 13°C) means your pool water may stay warmer for longer, which is great for swimming — but also means you must remain vigilant with your maintenance.
4 Must-Do Pool Maintenance Tasks This May
1. Skim and Clean Regularly
In the fall, leaves, twigs and other detritus love to gather in your pool. Regular skimming and weekly vacuuming will keep your water clear and reduce strain on your filter.
2. Balance Your Pool Water
Cooler nights can change your water chemistry. After each weekly test, make adjustments to your water’s alkalinity, pH, and chlorine levels. If you’re not sure how, Adelaide Aqua Boys offers expert pool maintenance in Adelaide, including water testing and chemical balancing.
3. Check Your Pool Equipment
Your pump, filter, and swimming pool chlorinator still work hard in autumn. Check for unusual noises, leaks, or reduced water flow. By taking care of minor problems early, expensive repairs can be avoided later.
4. Light It Up
Proper pool lighting becomes crucial as sunsets get earlier. We provide quality swimming pool lights that enhance visibility and add ambience to your backyard space — perfect for those early evening dips.
