Heat waves are algae's best friend. ☀️
Here's what's happening in your pool right now: UV rays are burning through your chlorine faster than normal, and that warm water is basically a welcome mat for algae. If you're not staying ahead of it, you're already behind.
A few things to do this week:
✅ Test your water daily — not weekly
✅ Shock the pool before it turns green, not after
✅ Run your pump 8–12 hours a day
✅ Skim debris and add preventative algaecide
One skipped day in a heat wave can turn a clear pool cloudy fast. Long Island summers don't give you much margin.
