In Ground Pool Maintenance
Solution
We sent Matt, our maintenance tech, out to perform maintenance on the pool. He skimmed and vacuumed the pool, tested the pool's PH levels, and added the necessary chemicals to the water. The water level was slightly high so Matt pumped some water out of the pool using the pool’s cover pump, and asked Kelly H. to leave her filter running in order to increase the pool's chlorine levels. He returned the next week and found the water had turned from green to cloudy white. Matt added flocculant to the pool, flocculant clumps together the tiny particles in the pool that cause cloudy water. Once the particles are clumped together they sink to the bottom of the pool where they can be vacuumed up. At his next visit, Matt noticed the pool’s water condition had improved significantly, he brushed, skimmed, vacuumed the pool, added acid and salt to balance the PH. By the following visit, this pool was finally sparkling and clear. Kelly H. was so excited to swim again! Thanks, Matt!
