| Woodland Hills Pool Cleaning Tips
Here in Los Angeles, we enjoy our summer season by either going to the beach, retreating to an air conditioned home, or splashing around in our swimming pools. This is a tradition that will continue, and therefore requires upkeep to ensure clean and clear water. There are many people who clean their own pool, but most homeowners rely on a service company to manage the chores. In Woodland Hills, pool cleaning is the same here as everwhere else - water chemistry, pole and net, vacuum, filter service. We recommend consistency in testing the parameters each week to insure balance. This means that if the Hardness is over 700ppm, you might want to consider replacing the water. Otherwise, at this high level, the chlorine just doesn't seem as powerful to do it's sanitizing. That is because chemical reactions become more difficult when the water is laden with so much calcium and magnesium. Another important test is pH. Be sure to maintain it within a neutral range 7.4-7.6ppm, and that requires additions of sodium carbonate to raise, or muriatic acid to lower the ppm. Make sure the water circulates enough each day as well, as this contributes to clarity after it sufficiently gets cleansed through the filter. If you don't want to be your own poolman, then hire us - we are professionals and we enjoy our work. Just give us a call and we'd be happy to discuss your service needs.
