Stabalizer

So it's Summer and as you can imagine we have been really busy with helping people get their pools up and running.
Making sure you keep you pool looking clean in the summer requires managing your water chemistry. More importantly making sure you keep your Cyanuric Acid levels up. This acts as Chlorine sunblock for your pool and allows the chlorine in the pool to be utilized by your pool. By taking a sample of your water to your local pool store, or calling a company like African Suns, we can check your level and adjust as necessary.

Equipment Checks

So for the last 2 days we have been getting a lot of calls about pumps and motors "not working like they use to". Remember people it is time to up your timers have your pumps running a minimum of 8 hours a day. Yesterday got up to 98 and keep in mind 1 hour for every 10 deg of weather(rule of thumb). So why so many calls? Well, with sudden changes in temperature, extreme heat, pumps running longer, these motors need some TLC. Companies like African Suns Pools, can do all kinds of preventative maintenance as well as fix any pool issues you may have. Experienced pool repair technicians should be able to diagnose an issue fairly simple and most repair jobs cost under $100.

Until next time Keep Swimming

Pool Guy Blog

This is going to be an area where I write about my job as a pool guy with African Suns Pools   To get started I get asked all the time how do I keep the calcium off my pool tile? Well there are a lot of different answers out there on how to do this. There are tile sealers you can paint on, spray muratic acid, drain your pool every so often, scrub weekly with a wire brush...The truth is there is no real way to prevent it. Here in Phoenix we are blessed with hard water and inevitably your tile will begin accumulate some build up. The best way to remove this scum and calcium is to use a Pool Tile cleaning company.
Please make sure you use a reputable company such as African Suns Pools they can clean your tile leaving it looking like new for a minimal cost.
TIP of the week: Now that summer is approaching it is a good idea to get a pool guy out to your pool to check all your equipment make sure everything is operational for the fast approaching summer.
