Why Do We Keep Swimming Pool Logs? Nearly every commercial swimming pool is required by law to have accurate records of the swimming pool tests performed. These are called “Pool Logs” or sometimes “Swimming Pool Logs”. The frequency of these tests is determined by your local health agency. Some require hourly testing, while others require daily testing. Check with your local health inspection...
It has definitely been a crazy couple of years with Covid-19. Not to mention the fires that happened in chemical factories. With boats having to be quarantined and docked for 14 days prior to unloading, it’s no wonder we are having supply issues. These issues include but are not limited to, chlorine and other sanitizers, automation systems, pumps and other equipment, valves or other PVC-related...
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.
Drain covers on commercial pools all have expiration dates in compliance with the Virginia Graeme Baker act.
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?
