Welcome to the LA Pool Guys blog, your premier destination for pool care excellence. Today, we’re diving into the solutions for some of the most common pool concerns: algae growth, murky waters, and the unseen culprits that compromise your pool’s health and aesthetic. Understanding these challenges is the first step toward achieving and maintaining the pristine pool of your dreams.
The Invisible Adversaries: TDS and Phosphates
Your pool is more than just a body of water; it’s a complex ecosystem influenced by various factors, including Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) and phosphates. These elements, though invisible to the naked eye, play significant roles in water quality and clarity.
- Total Dissolved Solids (TDS): TDS encompasses all substances dissolved in your pool water, from minerals to chemicals. High TDS levels can reduce the effectiveness of chlorine, leading to algae growth, water cloudiness, and scaling. The ideal TDS level should not exceed 1500 PPM for standard chlorinated pools, ensuring optimal water quality and safety.
- Phosphates: Phosphates serve as a nutrient source for algae, promoting their growth and proliferation. These compounds often enter your pool through external sources like rain, vegetation, and fertilizers. Maintaining phosphate levels below 500 PPB is crucial in preventing algae blooms and maintaining clear, inviting waters.
Conquering Algae and Ensuring Clarity: Our Expert Solutions
At LA Pool Guys, we’ve developed a comprehensive approach to address these challenges, ensuring your pool remains a sparkling oasis.
- TDS Management: When TDS levels soar, a TDS Drain becomes necessary. This procedure refreshes your pool water, resetting TDS levels and restoring chlorine’s effectiveness. It’s a critical step for pools with TDS levels above the recommended threshold, offering a clean slate for water chemistry.
- Phosphate Treatment: Targeting high phosphate levels is essential in algae prevention. Our Phosphate Treatment eradicates these algae nutrients, dramatically reducing the likelihood of algae blooms. This service is particularly recommended for pools with phosphate levels exceeding 500 PPB, ensuring algae have no footing to grow.
- Pool RX Mineral and Oxidation Treatments: For pools where TDS and phosphate levels are within acceptable ranges, we recommend our Pool RX and Oxidation Treatments. These preventative measures further enhance water clarity and quality. Pool RX introduces a mineral purifier to prevent algae growth, while oxidation treatments remove organic and inorganic contaminants, ensuring your pool remains pristine.
