Proper Pool Chemistry

As pool cleaners on the Outer Banks our most important job is proper pool chemistry.  Most people think we just show up vacuum out the sand from the pool and hot tub, add some chlorine tabs and leave.  But without testing and balancing all the chemicals you can have detrimental effects not long down the road.  Not only will improperly balanced pool water burn your eyes and dry out your skin.  It will also corrode out your heater element, and destroy your plaster finish.  So make sure you test all the chemicals at least every other week. This will ensure your pool and the equipment stays in good shape for years to come.
