Covid-19 has been affecting our lives in every possible area. Shortages, closures, lack of supply–you name it! This change of life did not pass over the swimming pool industry. A lot of our commercial pools and spas were shut down. Now that things are getting more “normal” a lot of commercial pools are being given the green light to reopen. What steps do we take to reopen a closed swimming pool?
More and more commercial properties are going with a salt system. It’s “hip” and actually can be more enjoyable to the bathers. Most property owners, and maybe even some swimming pool operators, may not realize one very important fact. A salt pool is STILL a chlorine pool. You are essentially just “making your own” chlorine. There are some slightly different maintenance points you will want to...
The main goal of the Pool Shark H2O system is to make pool maintenance easier, faster and safer for everyone. Depending on where your facility is located it is very likely some of your staff have different native languages. In order to make pool maintenance easier for everyone, and avoid confusion in translations, we have translated the Pool Shark H2O system to support the English, Spanish and...
We have to factor in a lot of things when taking care of our commercial pools. Equipment and water chemistry are two big ones. But without knowing how many gallons of water our swimming pool has, we cannot make accurate decisions and perform the proper treatment.

From the designers who draw up the blueprints for a new public aquatic venue to even the lifeguards…we all play a part in being in the line of defense against illnesses and injuries. These are not only dangerous but can be costly. We all need to work together to keep that pool, hot tub, water park, or splash pad safe for its bathers, and safe on our bottom line.
Isn’t it the absolute worst to come to check on your pool and you can’t see the bottom due to cloudiness? Not only is this illegal for safety reasons (the main drain MUST be visible), but it means something isn’t right with the water. It also makes the pool unappealing to clients and guests. There are many reasons this could occur. Let’s talk about a few.
With the summer Olympics coming up again, you want to make sure your future competitive swimmers are in safe water and with ideal conditions. We want to create an environment that allows the swimmers the best chance they have to be the best athletes they can be. What exactly does that look like?
Public pools are one part of the commercial pool ecosystem. With everything that is labeled as “commercial” one can assume that comes with “commercial” costs. And of course, anything “public” means that health and safety are of the utmost importance because a lot of people are involved. This includes public pools. The larger the public pool, the more people involved, ergo, the higher the cost....
Did you know that California recently changed its laws concerning the maintenance, rules, and regulations on HOA pools? With HOAs in every state, it could be only a matter of time before these laws are adopted in other states. There are currently over 350,000 Homeowners Associations in the United States and approximately 20 more are created every day. With Florida having the largest number of...
