Comments Off on Update Your Pool to an Automation System

Are you still manually checking your pool’s PH balance or temperature? New technology is available to automate your pool maintenance functions. Like most systems in your home, you can now monitor your pool through automation programs that use wireless technology. These systems allow you to control many options for your pool from inside your home or even when you are away from home through your smartphone. This can save you time and money, plus it offers a high level of convenience. Here are a few benefits of switching to home automation:

  • Automatic monitoring of PH levels. Save money and time while you keep your pool safe and sanitized with automatic PH level monitoring. This can help you use less chemicals and ensure your pool is always swim-ready.
  • Temperature control. Control the temperature of your pool from wherever you are, saving money on energy costs. Turn off heating elements while you are away on vacation, then turn them back on before you head back home.
  • Control pool features. Advanced automation systems can allow you to control almost any feature on your pool. This includes water features, lights and even the jets in your spa. You can also set timers for your features, all from your cell phone or control panel.

Upgrade your pool to an automation system this year and enjoy the convenience of this new technology. One of the top pool automation system companies available is Jandy. They offer state-of-the-art systems that can transform your old manual pool controls into a high-tech wireless system. Call your local pool service company that offers automation system installation, including the Jandy line of products, to update your pool today.

Are You Looking for an Alternative to Chlorine for Your Pool?

April 10th, 2016 Posted in Pool Maintenance
Comments Off on Are You Looking for an Alternative to Chlorine for Your Pool?

For many decades, adding chorine has been the best solution for keeping commercial and residential pools sanitary and safe for swimming. However, there are also negative aspects to using this strong chemical in your pool. Chlorine can be harsh on your hair, skin and clothing, plus it emits a powerful odor. With new technology, other options besides adding large amounts of chlorine to your pool for sanitation have come available. One option is the ozone generator. 

What Is Ozone?

An ozone generator can make a substantial difference in the quality of your pool experience. Many large commercial enterprises like water parks and motels use ozone generators to keep their water sanitary. These generators are also called salt systems, as they use salt to create chlorine naturally in the water for sanitization. The system work by using an electrolytic cell that converts salt that is added to your pool into hypochlorous acid, the active element in chlorine. Since the cell is installed inside the plumbing of your pool, all the water in the pool passes through it as it cycles, making sure all your pool water stays sanitized.

Once these systems are installed, very little chlorine should be needed to be added to your pool, reducing your chlorine use by up to 90% to keep your pool balanced. The result is an odor-free pool that is more enjoyable to swim in, without the harsh effects of large amounts of added chlorine.

If you are interested in upgrading your pool to an ozone generator, talk to your local pool service that installs and maintains salt systems for their customers. You will love the experience of swimming in a low chlorine pool this summer!

Pool Cleaning: When to Hire a Professional

September 10th, 2015 Posted in Pool Maintenance
Comments Off on Pool Cleaning: When to Hire a Professional

You like to save money by doing home maintenance yourself, and that includes cleaning your pool. You spend hours each week scooping out debris, checking your PH balance, cleaning filters and adding the right chemicals. While this is all great, are you really keeping your pool as clean as you would like it? Here are a few signs that it may be time to hire a professional to help keep your pool pristine.

  • PH balance is consistently off. Are you always struggling to keep your PH balance at the right levels? This could mean that your cleaning efforts are not as effective as you thought. It could also mean your pump is not working properly. A professional pool service can monitor your chemicals for you, provide superior cleaning and inspect your pump for issues.
  • Your pool is stained. It takes more than just scooping away debris to keep you pool looking great. Stains can be caused by certain metals in the water; a professional pools service can remove those stains and offer preventive treatments to keep future stains away.
  • Your pool water is no longer clear. If you are getting algae formation even with regular home cleanings, you need a professional pool service to help you get this under control. Even if you prefer to do the weekly cleanings yourself, having a pool service clean your pool once a month can help keep these types of issues at bay.

Having a clean pool helps reduce maintenance and repair costs on your pool equipment, plus it ensures that it looks great and is safe for your family. It is worth the investment to have a professional clean your pool at least once a month to keep it clean and healthy.

4 Reasons to Use a Pool Cleaning Service

July 25th, 2015 Posted in Pool Maintenance
Comments Off on 4 Reasons to Use a Pool Cleaning Service

It is understandable to want to save money, especially when it comes to maintaining your pool. Just having a pool is a luxury and many people want to reduce the cost of this luxury by doing their own pool cleaning. While it is admirable to reduce your spending, you may not be getting the bargain you think by cleaning your own pool. Consider these four reasons that it may be a better option to hire a professional pool cleaning service.

  1. Cleaning supply costs. To clean your pool right, you need the right equipment. This means pool scrub brushes, nets and other equipment to maintain your pool. Professional services not only use their own equipment, they have better equipment that can do a higher caliber cleaning.
  2. Chemical costs. Keeping your pool chemical balance is important for safety. Not only can it be a pain and time consuming, those chemicals cost money. Don’t forget to add in the cost of running to the pool store into what you spend on chemical each year.
  3. Pool repairs. Do you know how to inspect and maintain every component in your pool? A professional pool service does. Inspecting your pool equipment is part of most cleaning services, which can help find and fix small issues before they become bigger, more expensive problems.
  4. Time is money. Your time is worth something. If you are spending 1-2 hours a week cleaning your pool, what is it worth to you to have that time back? Let the professionals do their job and enjoy your pool instead of cleaning it in your spare time.

Give Yourself a Break this Summer with Professional Pool Maintenance

May 2nd, 2015 Posted in Pool Maintenance
Comments Off on Give Yourself a Break this Summer with Professional Pool Maintenance

Having a clean, fresh pool to dive into on those hot summer days can’t be beat. Unfortunately, that often means hours spent each week cleaning and maintaining your pool before you can enjoy those benefits. You deserve the chance to relax by the pool during your free time. This year, let the pros take care of your pool and give yourself a break from pool maintenance.

Benefits of Professional Pool Care

It is not just the extra time you gain that make professional pool maintenance worth the investment. While you may think you are saving money by doing your maintenance yourself, you might be surprised how affordable professional pool maintenance can be. Once you add up all the costs of pool cleaning equipment, chemicals and gas running to and from the pool supply store, you might not be saving as much as you think.

Another good reason to use a pool maintenance service is the additional benefits you receive from professional expertise. Not only can they maintain the chemical balance of your pool and keep it healthy for your daily swim, they can alert you of problems with your equipment. A small problem can turn into a big expense if not fixed right away. Most professional pool services will routinely inspect your equipment to ensure that everything is working as it should.

This summer, call your local pool service company to get a quote for routine maintenance. There are different service levels to choose from that can fit your budget and pool use. Then, lay back and enjoy a whole summer of enjoying maintenance-free pool ownership.

How Regularly Do You Clean Your Pool?

March 24th, 2015 Posted in Pool Maintenance
Comments Off on How Regularly Do You Clean Your Pool?

If you own a pool, you know it must be cleaned regularly to maintain a safe swimming environment. But are you cleaning it often enough? If you’re new to owning a pool and have been maintaining it on your own, it’s possible you’re not doing enough to keep your pool clean. Consider the dangers of letting your pool go too long without a thorough cleaning.

Algae Growth

In warmer climates, especially the humid areas of the southeast, algae can grow at an alarming rate in pools. You need to keep your chemical balance at a level which will inhibit algae growth, plus clean the pool walls and surfaces around your pool regularly.

Recreational Water Illnesses

Pools without a proper pH balance can be dangerous to your family’s health. Recreational water illnesses are caused by germs that can be inhaled or swallowed from contaminated pool water. You need to understand how to keep your pool clean and ensure that your chlorine levels are correct to keep these germs at bay.

Pool Repairs

Dirty pools can also cause problems with your pool equipment. Too much algae, debris or bacteria in your water can clog filters and put stress on your pool pump. Also, this equipment needs to be regularly cleaned and serviced to ensure it’s working correctly and to maintain the pool water’s chemical balance.

The best way to ensure your pool is staying clean and healthy is to hire a professional pool service to maintain your pool. Most offer weekly or bi-weekly service to clean, inspect and maintain your pool for a reasonable price. Making sure your pool is always clean and safe for you and your family is always a worthwhile investment, and can help extend the life of all your equipment.

Take A Break From Cleaning Your Pool

October 28th, 2014 Posted in Pool Maintenance
Comments Off on Take A Break From Cleaning Your Pool

Many pool owners have resigned themselves to the ongoing task of keeping their pool clean. Every week they spend hours clearing out debris, adding chemicals and cleaning the various filters. It can be exhausting, taking time away from relaxing or actually enjoying the pool they are working so hard to maintain. If you are one of these pool owners, maybe it’s time to take a break from the weekly hassle of cleaning your pool by hiring a professional pool cleaning and maintenance service.

Benefits Of Using A Pool Service

Most people who clean their own pools do so to save money. While it is noble to be frugal, you may not be saving as much money as you think when you handle your own pool maintenance. When you take into consideration the costs of chemicals, equipment, fuel costs for transportation to and from the pool supply store and the value of your time, it may not make much sense to clean your pool yourself. A professional pool service is equipped to clean your pool faster, and usually more thoroughly, than you can do on your own. Some benefits of using a pool maintenance service include:

  • Professional chemical balancing. Let trained professionals keep your pool water at a safe pH balance. They know exactly how much of the chemicals need to be added to maintain your pool water at safe levels.
  • Regular equipment inspections. On top of cleaning your pool, many pool services will also inspect your pool equipment to ensure it is working properly. Alerting you to possible problems early can help you save quite a sum on expensive emergency repairs later on.
  • Better equipment. Professional pool services have expensive vacuums and other equipment to ensure that your pool is kept at a higher level of cleanliness than you can accomplish with tools designed for the average homeowner.

Having a pool service maintain your pool will save you time, and may be much less expensive than you think. As a gift to yourself, call your local pool service to sign up for regular maintenance, and take a break from cleaning your pool!
