POOL CHEMISTRY

Water is amazing. It can cure you or make you sick. It can give you life or cause death.

How do we keep pool water crystal clear?

Proper water balance and filtration. It's that simple!

It's important to have your water properly balanced to protect bathers and your equipment.

Testing water is so simple, even a child could do it.

Chemistry

I meet people all summer whose problems occur from not testing their water.

Unfortunately, improper water chemistry, with no preventative measures taken, escalates into an unhealthy and dangerous environment very quickly.

The most dangerous condition occurs when we are unable to see something at the bottom of the pool.

God forbid someone fell into a pool with dirty water, we would never see them.

Provided that your equipment is in good operating condition, we can have your water clear in 2 or 3 days. We offer other services to meet any schedule. Just call us!

Water chemistry can be a bit more involved when dealing with complicated isolated experiences or unknowns. For example, I remember a major hotel calling me for a water problem. After much investigating and water testing, I discovered the janitor was washing the floor with a cleaning solution and dipping his mop into the pool to rinse it. Or the homeowner complaining about his water with a haze through it, only to find out he actually bathed in it. SOAP and ALL! This is where experience comes in. I could never make this stuff up!

BASIC WATER TESTS & THEIR PURPOSE
SANITIZER: Chlorine or Bromine. It keeps the water healthy, safe, clear and algae free.
PH: The part of the water that maintains either alkaline or acidic properties.
TOTAL ALKALINITY: This balanced stabilizes the Ph from dramatic changes.
CALCIUM HARDNESS: Keeps water feeling soft and reduces interior deterioration.
CYANURIC ACID: Water stabilizer helps prevent chlorine breakdown from the sun.
IRON & COPPER: Minerals found in pool water can stain and cause other problems.
