Friday Pool Tip 101
Sometimes the most expensive pool mistake is adding MORE chemicals.
Sounds strange, right?
When a swimming pool starts turning green, the first instinct is usually:
"Just throw more chlorine in it!"
But here's the problem...
If your stabilizer (cyanuric acid) is excessively high, chlorine becomes less effective at sanitizing your pool.
And unlike chlorine, stabilizer doesn't simply disappear quickly with sunlight.
So homeowners keep adding chlorine, spending more money, and wondering why their pool is still giving them problems.
Sometimes the solution isn't another bucket of chemicals.
Sometimes it's understanding what's already in your water.
Pool chemistry isn't about adding the MOST chemicals. It's about adding the RIGHT chemicals.
That's one of the biggest differences between guessing and properly maintaining chemicals
