Maui Pool Cleaning

Different types of pool equipment, filters, cleaning methods, and chemical type benefits and disadvantages will be discussed.  A section for blogs so that my customers and other pool owners can ask questions for everyone to see, along with the answer, or any helpful information i get on that subject, please enjoy.

First and most simple will be the do not’s.

1#  If you must empty your pool do not let the plaster or tile sit in the sun for a long period of time, doing so can result in the tile pealing or the plaster popping (pealing off the wall).  A few simple steps can help avoid the problem, take a sprinkler head and have it aimed at the tile or plaster while you fill it back up.  You can always just use the simple step of shooting the tile, plaster while you fill your pool back up.

2#  Do not store your different chemicals on top of each other, the most common thing i see, is people putting there acid jugs on top the chlorine buckets or use a chlorine bucket and not wash it out.  Chlorine gas is very dangerous and all steps must be taken to avoid this risk.  Keep all the chemicals in the original package to ensure you know what chemical’s mixed and what to do in the emergency.

3#  Avoid leaving your chemicals in the sun light.  Chlorine, acid and a few other chemicals loose their strength the longer you keep it in the sun, causing you to use more and more to keep up for the chemical changes int he pool.

Theses three steps i have, are in my opinion the 3 most common mistakes that people make costing them a lot of money to fix or purchase more chemicals.  Everything you buy now has a warning label, storage information, and product information written on it, if you ever have any question when you are handling your chemicals always read the side of the container or look it up online.
