Summer 2015

The  summer months create reactive conditions (chemically speaking) in your pool. Sunlight and bather loads increase chlorine demand while Ph balance can be all over the map. Water splash out and the addition of new water also helps to deplete sanitizer and conditioner. Conditioner (Cyanuric Acid) is used as a stabilizer in recreational water treatment to minimize the decomposition of hypochlorous acid by sunlight in outdoor swimming pools and hot tubs. It achieves this by absorbing UV radiation. It basically helps prevent chlorine from loosing it's potency under sunny skies.  We add condtioner annually to your pool water to maintain levels of 60 to 80 PPM. The nominal charge appears on your March bill.

As always, emergency calls will be handled via our office line 916.830.0696.
