Many pool owners are currently concerned with the carcinogenic aspects of pool sanitation as described in newspaper article around the country. These articles, written on the subject of cancer causing sanitizers, claim high doses of chlorine could possibly be detrimental to the health of your family. What may not be evident now could in later life cause severe health anomalies. Therefore it is important to find a pool service professional who is knowledgeable concerning alternative aspects of pool sanitation, and further, one who has the requisite knowledge to test your current swimming pool water for proper sanitation. A pool service professional is more than just a pool cleaner. A pool service professional can save you money in unnecessary pool equipment repairs and can also save you unnecessary medical expenses due to poor water quality. I recently encountered a pool owner who asked me why his pool deck was uneven. After asking him a couple of questions, the culprit was obvious. The deck was uneven because he had failed to keep the mastic around the pool, the sealer that separates the pool from the deck, from cracking. Water had seeped under the deck and destroyed the integrity of the pool foundation. His repair bill will be in the thousands. This repair could have been a few hundred dollars if he had retained the services of a pool service professional and weekly scheduled service. The cost of a pool service professional is more than offset by the money saved in unnecessary expenditures. It is important to have a healthy family and a full pocketbook. A good pool service professional can help you achieve both.

Many of you are aware of the Virginia Graeme Baker Act passed by congress to protect children in commercial swimming pool settings, but there is a way you can protect children in their backyard. In past issues we discussed different ways to keep children from sneaking into the pool when supervision is unavailable. 1. Motion alarms on all doors and gates leading to the pool area. 2. A secondary fence around the pool. 3. A motion alarm in the pool. While these are great protection devises, sometimes they are not enough. There is a great way to protect your children from the possibility of injury when you are present and everything seems innocuous. Replacing your current main drain cover with a larger drain cover can help reduce or eliminate the horrendous accidents that can occur when a child is trapped by the main drain and cannot break free. A compliant anti-entrapment drain cover spreads the suction over a larger area and makes the possibility of entrapment very unlikely. The newly designed and affordable compliant anti-entrapment drain covers are easily retrofitted to existing drains and are instrumental in the effort to prevent future devastating injuries and drowning deaths. There are numerous things one can do to help protect children who are playing in a backyard swimming pool. However, nothing is more effective than the Keep Our Future Safe guidelines established by congress for commercial pools. If you are interested in receiving a quote on replacing your current main drain cover, with an anti entrapment cover, please contact the office and we will be happy to assist. Meanwhile please make sure to keep children away from the main drain and design rules for their protection. Our motto is: "Safety first and everything else second." It is time to reduce pool equipment operational hours if they have not already been reduced. Since the weather is becoming cooler algae and other bacteria have a more difficult time breeding in your pool water. There are three things that affect the running time of your pool equipment: 1. The angle of the sun 2. Cooler days and nights 3. Cooler water Because of these natural occurrences we are able to reduce the running time of your pool equipment and this saves energy and money. Please do not change your timer. Every pool is a little different and the running time for one pool may not be the appropriate running for another. Remember, we still have water that needs to be circulated to prevent insect infestation and to filter out other items that can cause damage to your pool and health issues for your family. Winter is here and most of the leaves have fallen, but we still suffer unwanted debris in our pool because of the wind and winter weather. The wind is a damaging nemesis. The wind can deposit material into your pool that can threaten the integrity of your swimming pool water and the very health of your family. A change in water chemistry, due to this debris, can also cause plaster damage and unnecessary equipment repairs.

After a service call, if you see the wind or weather has again deposited some unwanted item in your pool, if it is easy to extract, please remove this debris to protect the integrity of your pool water and to eliminate any health issues. We have found lawn chairs, tree branches, stuffed animals, real animals and just about everything you can imagine in some of the pools we service. Some of the items we have found are just toys, but for the same reasons these toys must also be removed when children are finished swimming. Almost any item left in your pool for an extended period of time can damage your pool and add additional cost to its ownership.
