Frequently Asked Questions
Q. Why is my pool water cloudy?
A.
Several things can cause a pool to lose its clarity – inadequate water circulation, chemical imbalance, poor filtration,
low sanitizer levels or lack of oxidation.
Q. Can algae really hurt my pool?
A. Yes! If
left unchecked, algae can grow in free-floating patches or cling to pool walls. Not only can algae clog filters, it eventually
can cause pool surface damage and impact swimmers’ health.
Q. Why does my pool have a strong chlorine
smell?
A. You may be improperly administering chemicals, which is costly and can prove harmful to eyes and
skin.
Q. Can I experiment with chemicals till I get the water quality I want?
A. NEVER
experiment! Improper measuring and mixing of chemicals – whether diluted or concentrated – can create both unwanted
reactions and potential health hazards. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions with special attention to safety gear,
clean up and storage.
Contact a professional pool service technician for additional guidance on these and
other pool care issues.
