We've Been Asked...

Every week we get some great questions emailed to us. Questions about cloudy pool water, algae, stains, how to operate a filter, etc. Some of the questions are complex, some are simple. We've assembled them in various categories to make them easier to read. Some of the questions & answers are duplicated into other categories because they deal with more than one concern. Click on the links to go to that category. We're sure that you'll find an answer. If not, please email us or call us. There's always someone here to help.

Algae - green, mustard, black, causes & cures

Biguanides - Soft Swim, Baquacil, Revacil; this is water chemistry that works well, but you must follow the rules.

Chlorine & Bromine - chlorine & bromine sometimes aren't that simple either

Cloudy Water - the many causes & how they're treated

Chlorine Demand - Par Pool & Spa has a good handle on how to treat this growing issue. If you haven't dealt with it yet, you will

Mineral Springs, Salt, Saline Generators - the fastest growing way to treat pool water. It's pretty simple, but there are rules to follow to make it great.

Pool Staining - staining caused by metals in the water are the third largest pool care concern. Sometimes pool owners treat the symptom but neglect the cause.

Pink Slime - once thought to be a problem with biguanide pools only, we're seeing the problem in all kinds of pools treated with a variety of different products

White Water Mold - ditto to Pink Slime & getting worse.

Water Balance - so many pool problems have their root in proper water balance. pH, total alkalinity & calcium hardness. Without good water balance, swimming pool care becomes a problem.

Pool Winterizing - putting your pool to bed clean & balanced for the winter is worth the time & effort to open up to the same clean conditions in 4 to 6 months.

General Pool Care Questions - filter questions, and anything else that didn't fit in the other categories!
