Advantages of Pool Automation

Comments Off on Advantages of Pool Automation

As every pool owner knows, maintaining your pool is a lot of work.  You can reduce the workload by having a professional pool service handle much of the maintenance, but a pool automation system can help keep you pool in top condition between service visits.

In addition, the sanitizer level and pH balance of a pool changes constantly throughout the day, especially during periods of heavy use.  However, measurements and adjustments are usually done once a day at best, and sometimes only once every few days.  These adjustments are typically large and naturally imprecise resulting in fluctuations in the pH and sanitizer levels.

Pool automation systems constantly monitor and automatically adjust the chemical levels and the pH balance in your pool.  These systems make small, precise adjustments that keep your pool water at the optimal levels without wide fluctuations.

In addition, a pool automation system can adjust the temperature level, operate cleaning systems, activate underwater and exterior lighting, and operate waterfalls and other water features.  Pool controllers allow you control all of these functions from inside your home and many pool automation systems even allow you to handle these functions remotely.  While you are away from home, you can keep track of what’s going on with your pool and make any necessary adjustments.

Pool automation systems are more than just a convenience.  They improve safety, reduce the amount and cost of chemicals your pool uses, and reduces the need for repairs.   Your pool will stay cleaner and safer with a pool automation system.  You can spend less time maintaining your pool and more time enjoying it.

Why Do I Need to Shock My Pool?

Comments Off on Why Do I Need to Shock My Pool?

Many people don’t understand why they need to shock their pool. The answer is two words: combined chlorine. When you get in your pool, you usually have suntan oil or lotion on and maybe even cosmetics, hair spray, etc. Alternatively, sometimes swimmers urinate in the pool water. All of these contaminants react with the pool’s chlorine to create combined chlorine, which ultimately contaminates the pool water and reduces the chemicals efficiency.

Combined chlorine works as a disinfectant, but a poor one, and can cause both skin and eye irritations as well as a very unpleasant odor from the chlorine in the pool water. More often than not, this odor is often confused with there being too much chlorine in the water.

In order to destroy combined chlorine in the water, it is vital that a pool owner shock their pool on a regularly basis. This is so important because with combined chlorine elements in the pool, the water is inefficient; however, when these elements are destroyed, the water is back to maximum efficiency.

A shock treatment for your pool could include adding large quantity of chlorine in the water, which is often known as superchlorination, or by adding a non-chlorine, store-bought shock. If you aren’t sure how to shock your pool, ask your pool service to show you how or you can simply have them do it for you. If you notice anything odd about your pool and aren’t sure what to do about it, call a pool service to come out and check out the problem. It’s better to spend money calling someone out than letting your pool get dirty and ultimately damage the interior of the pool as well as its mechanical parts.
