Finding the Balance
Few topics in pool water chemistry generate as much disagreement as phosphates.
Ask five industry professionals how much phosphates matter, and you’re likely to get five different answers.
The Chemistry Blame Game
Anyone who has worked in pool service long enough has probably experienced it: A customer notices damage, staining or another issue and immediately assumes the water chemistry is to blame — and that the service company is responsible.
Clean Away the Green
When pool water chemistry and circulation break down, it’s not as simple as adding a few gallons of chlorine. Taking a pool from green to clean can require multiple visits and the right combination of chemicals, filtration and time.
School is in Session
Whether your new pool customers are first-timers or previous owners, they’ve likely bought into at least one of the persistent myths of pool care: pools only need minimal maintenance, more chemicals mean a cleaner pool or clear water means clean water. And, of course, many believe they only need maintenance when there’s a problem.
Swim Hard, Sanitize Harder
While commercial pools are built for constant traffic, heavily used residential pools face different challenges. Higher bather loads quickly change water chemistry, leaving service pros and homeowners scrambling to keep water safe, clear and balanced.
Say Goodbye to Green
The initial spark for Eeziblue came in 2003 due to a unique challenge: frequent power outages in Zimbabwe made traditional pool care — which relies on consistent pump and filtration operation — unreliable.
Keeping Bugs at Bay
Mosquitos, wasps or horseflies — no matter where you live in the U.S., there’s usually some kind of pest to deal with when you’re trying to relax by the pool.
Smarter pH Control
The CO2 pH control system operates similarly to a traditional acid system but uses CO2 instead of muriatic acid.
In the Ozone
Though it’s been used for decades, ozone is gaining traction as a solution in pool sanitation, offering an effective and eco-friendly addition to traditional chlorine-based methods. As more pool professionals and homeowners seek sustainable and efficient ways to maintain pristine water quality, understanding the basics of ozone production, its advantages and the challenges it presents is crucial.Â
Crystal Clear Control
From the creators of the pHin Smart Water Monitor comes the next evolution in water monitoring: the Crystal Water Monitor.
Smart Algaecide for Smarter Service
King Technology, maker of FROG water care products, has introduced its newest product, FROG Algae Blocker 4Pro.
Using CO2 to Manage pH
When it comes to pool maintenance, keeping the water balanced is vital for both safety and enjoyment. Traditionally, acid has been the go-to solution for managing pH levels, but there is another effective method: carbon dioxide, or CO2.
