Flower Mound Pool Services Recommends Weekly Pool Cleaning for Dallas Homeowners

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) August 26, 2009 -- Dallas, Texas - United States – The Center for Disease Control (CDC) has released a bulletin encouraging pool cleaning of Dallas pools on a weekly basis to prevent recreational water illnesses (RWI's). The announcement comes after a study concluded that the number of outbreaks of RWI's has been increasing each year for the past decade.

The CDC issues similar warnings every year for public and public pool operators. RWI's include gastrointestinal, skin, ear, respiratory, eye, neurological and wound infections. The most commonly reported RWI is diarrhea and it is often caused when children swallow contaminated or dirty water while swimming. Weather swimming in a public pool or home pool follow the steps of healthy swimming issued by the CDC: www.cdc.gov/healthyswimming


Flower Mound recommends as part of the weekly process that you test the water quality, add chemicals to achieve the proper PH balance, and brush and vacuum your pool thoroughly. Checking the operation of filtering and cleaning devices is also recommended. If you don't have the time or knowledge to do all of this yourself it is recommended that you hire a Dallas pool cleaning service to do it for you.

Dallas wasn't the only city mentioned in the CDC announcement. They are actually recommending that all homeowners be more vigilant in the upkeep and maintenance of their swimming pools. Cities in warmer climates could be at higher risk due to the elevated growth pace of dangerous bacteria such as Cryptosporidium, Giardia, Shigella, norovirus and E. coli O157:H7.

If you are a Dallas homeowner with a swimming pool and one of your children is ill, contact your family doctor right away. RWI's are generally not fatal but can be extremely uncomfortable if not treated with the proper antibiotics and medications. To prevent them, keep your pool clean and have a regular Dallas pool cleaning service or maintenance company come over on a regular schedule to make sure all of your equipment is working properly.
