Monsoon season is well underway here in the desert.  Most of these storms arrive late afternoon, and can deliver a sudden, vicious bite!  Preparing your pool beforehand can limit the amount of damage that may occur.  Here are some recommendations...

• Make sure your sand or DE filter is backwashed.  If you have a cartridge filter, make sure it's been recently manually cleaned.  Same goes for your DE filter.  A lot of dust will be entering the water... so it's very important your filtration is working properly.
• Make sure your pump baskets are free and clear.  Same with skimmer and automatic cleaner leaf canister baskets.  Fine particles can bypass the pump basket and enter the impeller.  A clogged impeller will slow your system to a crawl.
• Run your pump!  Keep your pool water circulating.
• Boost your chlorine!  Any early contaminants entering the water via the storm will be zapped by your existing chlorine.  Just be sure to test and adjust the following day.
• Make sure you're automatic cleaner is working and running.
• Examine your system the following day following the storm.  A downed, stagnant system can lead to green water quickly.

We take great pleasure when we can transform a worn down, aged swimming pool and revitalize it into a beautiful, custom-crafted backyard water feature.  However, the process isn't always easy... no matter the size of the renovation.  
Renovations to your pool can mold your backyard into a resort-style feel.  There are many amenities that can be added, such as sun shelfs (or baja shelfs) water features, LED color-changing lighting, acrylic or natural stone decks, raised walls with copper scuppers, variable-speed pumps, turning a deep diving pool into a play pool for all to enjoy, and the list goes on!!

Just like new pool construction, but without the "Unknown".  This is the word we don't like to use and homeowner's don't like to hear.  The "Unknown" is what lies beneath the existing surface... which could include cracked plumbing fittings, corroded conduit, thin shotcrete, protruding rebar (the list goes on).  We do our best to explain these items to our clients before ANYTHING takes place.  Don't let these items dissuade you from wanting your pool renovated.  Some or most of these issues can be dealt with without adding significant costs to the project.

With all new pool surface renovations, Love Pool Care provides 4 complimentary (free) weeks of service.  This enable us to keep a close eye on the pool, while also providing dependable service... keeping the pool clean and enjoyable!  We simply don't stop caring about your pool until you tell us not to.
