How Hotel Pools Can Stay Sparkling During Peak Tourist Seasons
During peak tourist months, hotel pools become the most visited—and most strained—area on your property. With increased usage, exposure to external contaminants, and varying guest habits, maintaining optimal cleanliness becomes a demanding yet essential task.
Let’s explore how proper maintenance knowledge and the right cleaning tools—like those fromBonny—can help your staff maintain sparkling water and satisfied guests.
Why Peak Season Demands Specialized Pool Maintenance
Hotels often see water quality issues intensify during busy months due to:
-
Higher swimmer load, leading to rapid chlorine depletion
-
Sunscreens and oils, forming surface scum and clogging filters
-
Outdoor exposure, bringing pollen, dust, and debris into the system
-
Temperature rise, accelerating algae and bacteria growth
Without enhanced cleaning protocols and precise monitoring, even well-maintained pools can quickly decline in quality, affecting guest safety and reviews.
The Science of Water Chemistry Under Heavy Use
During high season, balancing water parameters becomes more complex:
Parameter | Ideal Range | Peak Season Monitoring Frequency |
---|---|---|
pH Level | 7.2 – 7.6 | Twice Daily |
Free Chlorine | 2.0 – 4.0 ppm | Twice Daily |
Cyanuric Acid | 30 – 50 ppm | Weekly |
Total Alkalinity | 80 – 120 ppm | Weekly |
Frequent testing and quick adjustments are necessary to prevent cloudy water or outbreaks ofCryptosporidium, which are common in crowded hotel pools.
Structural Differences in Hotel Pools Matter
Hotels often use larger pools, infinity pools, or decorative shapes—each with unique cleaning requirements:
-
Large pools: Require wider brush heads and longer vacuum hoses
-
Infinity edge pools: Need more attention to overflow and filtration channels
-
Tile-lined pools: Benefit from stiffer brushes like Bonny’s stainless series
-
Vinyl pools: Require gentle nylon brushes to prevent surface damage
Choosing the right cleaning method for the right material is critical to protect longevity and guest safety.
Comprehensive Cleaning Strategy for Hotel Pool Teams

Surface Skimming (2x daily)
Use fine-mesh skimmers to remove sunscreen film, leaves, and bugs. -
