Essentials of Water Care

Here we cover the important aspects of water care to ensure the health and longevity of your pool.

Circulation

Adding pool chemicals and cleaning out your pool is a sure way to keep your pool clean, but what could get overlooked is the importance of water circulation. Water circulation via pool jets will help lessen microbial growth on the pool walls and save you a lot of hassle. Also, without good water circulation, the chemicals you’ve added to your pool won’t be as effective!

Balance

Every pool owner knows you need water balance in your pool to keep it healthy. Balancing your water can vary depending on what chemicals you’re using. Making sure to investigate the pros and cons of each chemical will allow you to further properly balance your water. For example if you’re using chlorine tablets, the formulations differ greatly which can affect its potency and delivery time to your water.

Conservation

Saving water is essential in the middle of a drought and it’s no different when it comes to your pool water. So what can you do? Easy, just lower the temperature of your pool. Lowering the temperature slightly will help lessen a pools evaporation and is quick and easy solution that everyone can get on board with!
