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!
Pool Safety
Never leave a child unattended in or near a pool or spa and ALWAYS watch your children closely around all bodies of water!
It’s Time to Drain Your Plaster Pool
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.
Tile Cleaning With Epsom Salts
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!
How long should I run my pool motor?
The answer is “as long as it takes to clean your pool”! You need to filter the entire volume of the pool every 24 hours! Whether this is 6, 8, 10 hours depends on how clean your pool stays! Happy Swimming!!

VIRGINIA GRAEME BAKER POOL AND SPA SAFETY ACT
The Virginia Graeme Baker Pool and Spa Safety Act (VGBA) is a United States law named after Graeme Baker, who died in an accident in June 2002, when the suction from a spa drain entrapped her under the water. She was the daughter of James and Nancy Baker and the granddaughter of former Secretary of State James Baker III. The Act was first introduced by Representative Debbie Wasserman Schultz and was supported by the Baker family and Safe Kids Worldwide.
If you are not sure if your pool drain covers are VGBA compliant, please contact Xpress Pool Service and we can assess and advise and replace if necessary. Call Pat at 623-853-6859
