Green to
Clean
Depending on the severity of your green pool, there are several options in
which to get your pool blue again. If your pool is a light green we may
be able to do what we call a “chlorine bomb”, this is a chlorine
treatment. Another option would be to drain the pool and do a chlorine
bath on the pool interior. Our plan of attack has several variables
depending on but not limited to your pool pump, filter, cleaning system
age of water, etc.
Chlorine
Bath
This is generally performed as a result of a green pool. It
consists of washing your pools interior with a mix of liquid chlorine and
water; this will kill any living algae attached to your pools interior
surface. We often perform an acid wash after a chlorine bath.
Acid Wash
We Acid wash pools to brighten interior surfaces and remove stains. Acid
washing is generally done when the pool is empty; however we sometimes do
under water acid washes if we are focusing on one or a few small stains
throughout your pool.
Tile Clean or Glass Bead
Glass beading is the most effective way to remove a calcium line at the
water level. Here in Arizona we have very high calcium levels in our tap
water; it is inevitable that if you have a pool here that at some point
you will need to have your calcium line removed. We use glass beads on
tile, Pebble Tec, natural stone, and other surfaces.
Filter
Cleaning
This must be done to every cartridge and DE filter periodically.
Cartridge filters do not backwash so they need cleaned to remove the
collected contaminants from the pool. DE filters are generally to be
backwashed every 4-6 weeks but manufactures guidelines recommend taking
the filter apart and manually clean and inspect the filter components
every 6-12 months.
Drain and
Fill
This is done to simply replace old water or high chemical levels in your
pool. A lot of our customers are surprised of the nice look of the fresh
water once filled.
Dedicated Suction Lines
Are often not installed in older pools. This means that you would need to
plug your automatic vacuum into your pool skimmer port. We can install a
dedicated suction line to your pool so your skimmer can effectively do its
job which is to pull leaves and debris off the surface of your pool, while
your automatic vacuum can clean the bottom of your pool.
Salt Water Conversion
Many people think that you must choose to install a salt water system when
you build your pool. This is not the case; we can convert your pool to
salt water in a matter of hours. Benefits of a salt water pool are less
eye irritation after swimming, softer skin after swimming, and lower
chemical costs year round.
