Testing Your Pool Water
When you have your pool water tested, it is important to take into account the natural qualities from your municipal water source.
“National Standards” may not apply!
Ducks in a Pool!!
Ducks are such cute birds, especially in the spring when they have ducklings! But they don’t belong in your pool! They are messy and can pollute the water! Use deterrents such as floating beach balls and search for nests in your yard! Shoo!!
Don’t Let This Happen To You!
If your pool is turning green, but has plenty of chlorine, test for phosphates! Adding phosphate remover also removes the food for algae!
Never leave a child unattended in or near a pool or spa and ALWAYS watch your children closely around all bodies of water!
Is your plaster pool in need of a little TLC? Our Arizona temperatures are still cool enough (under an average of 90 degrees), so it’s safe to drain & refill, acid wash, clean the tile and tend to any other maintenance needs.
Epsom salts are a versatile media for use in cleaning pool tile, including glass tile! However, draining your pool first will ensure a thorough clean-up! This is very important to prevent adding huge amounts of magnesium to your pool!
