🌼 Is that yellow dust in your pool... or is it algae? Don't waste money on chemicals until you know the difference!

Here's a quick test:

✅ Scoop some of the yellow dust into your hand.

• If it blows away easily and your water is still crystal clear, it's probably pollen.

• If it sticks to the walls, feels slippery, or keeps returning in the same spots, it could be mustard algae.

Many Florida pool owners mistake spring pollen for algae and end up shocking their pool when they don't need to.

Learn how to tell the difference before you spend money on unnecessary chemicals.

🐸🦎 Florida Pool Tip: Frogs & Lizards Can Damage Your Pool Equipment

Think that little frog or lizard couldn't hurt your pool equipment? Think again.

In Florida, frogs and lizards often crawl inside pool heaters, pumps, automation systems, timers, and electrical control panels looking for warmth and shelter. Unfortunately, they can short out sensitive control boards, causing unexpected breakdowns and costly repairs.

⚠️ Watch for these warning signs:
✅ Pool heater won't start
✅ Pump suddenly stops working
✅ Blank display or error codes
✅ Breaker keeps tripping
✅ Burnt electrical smell

At Michael's Pool Service Inc., we've seen firsthand how these small critters can cause major damage. Regular equipment inspections can help catch problems before they turn into expensive repairs.

We repair pool equipment issues including:
✔ Pool heaters
✔ Variable speed pumps
✔ Automation systems
✔ Salt systems
✔ Equipment plumbing leaks

Please note: We repair pool equipment leaks but do not perform leak detection or repair structural leaks inside the swimming pool.

🌞 July Pool Tip of the Month

💧 The Hidden Cost of Running Your Pool Too Little

Trying to save money by running your pool pump less? It may actually cost you more.

When your pool doesn't circulate long enough, you may experience:
• ☁️ Cloudy water
• 🦠 Algae growth
• 🔄 Poor filtration
• ⚗️ Chemical imbalance
• ⚙️ Increased equipment wear
• 💲 Costly repairs

Proper circulation keeps your water clean, your equipment running efficiently, and helps extend the life of your pool system.

✅ **Pool Tip:** During the hot Florida summer, most pools should run long enough each day to maintain proper circulation and filtration. The ideal run time depends on your pool size, pump type, and weather conditions.

If you're unsure whether your pool is running the right amount of time, we're here to help.
