Mother Nature certainly isn’t playing fair this summer!
Typically our techs don’t mind running between raindrops when there’s a gentle summer sprinkle; but when thunderstorms come through, bringing flood conditions and deadly lightening, they are forced to cancel their outdoor service calls.
We apologize to our residential customers who are waiting for service on their equipment. We will continue to stay in touch with you, and hope the week’s forecast gets better quickly!

Oh my, what a scary night! All of us here at S&K are ok, but truly concerned about what the news will bring us come daylight.

Big storms like this will create havoc on your pool’s water chemistry, while power outages and surges can damage your filtration system.
Even if your water appears clear, it doesn’t mean the chemistry is correct.
Make sure to test your water after the skies clear.

Rain in the US is naturally acidic and torrential rain, like tonight, will lower your pH and Alkalinity. If the pH drops too low for too long, it will start to deteriorate your pool surface and pool equipment. In worst case scenarios, your heater’s heat exchanger can be destroyed.
For inground pools, remember it’s not just the rain water, but runoff from neighboring buildings, patios and landscaping which will add a variety of unknown contaminants into your pool.
Additionally, lightening adds nitrogen to the air and soil, which when combined with the rain, creates a delicious meal for algae. Make sure to check your water chemistry and shock your pool soon to prevent a green pool.

One final tip…clean out any debris in your skimmer baskets, and clean or backwash your filter as soon as possible. The longer all the gunk sits, the more likely it will be that your pool’s water chemistry will get out of hand.

Be safe out there! Contact us if you need further assistance!

Regular water testing is essential to your pool and spa, and required by law for commercial sites. However, proper water chemistry isn’t simply about keeping the chlorine/bromine and pH levels of your pool and spa balanced.
We regularly test the pools and spas in our care for additional factors, such as alkalinity, copper, TDS, phosphate, and other chemicals which can affect water balance.
Beyond being unsafe for people, improper water chemistry can have negative effects on everything from the surface of the pool to the filtration system and heater - often voiding manufacturer warranties and leading to costly repairs.
Call our office to discuss setting up weekly or bi-weekly service for your commercial pool and spa. We will provide you with test results for IDPH record keeping, as well as adjust your pool and spa water as necessary.

This is one example of why you should use quality products in your brominated pool and spa.
A large concentration of organic matter in the water will react with a high quality shock in this fashion (it’s kind of cool, isn’t it?).
For our technician, this reaction indicates the next steps that are needed to return your pool to a healthy condition.

Did you know we have a few unique office assistants? They don’t know much about swimming pools, but that doesn’t stop them from diving in to help (see what we did there?)!

They’d like to remind you to keep your kitty safe this pool season.
Some cats are naturals and like to swim, while others can actually be taught!
A quick dip in the pool probably won’t hurt; but for that Olympic-minded kitty, prolonged exposure to pool chemicals can irritate their skin. Make sure to limit pool time and rinse kitty off well!
If your cat simply enjoys hanging out poolside, be sure to have fresh water available so they aren’t tempted to sip pool water and upset their tummy. Chlorine cocktails aren’t really that yummy!
Similar to protecting human children, consider investing in a floating pool alarm or water-detecting collar that will sound if kitty accidentally falls in the pool. Some sadly sink faster than they swim.
If your kitty loves to swim, please let us know!
