Balancing Your Pool's Chemistry

In addition to start-up, pool balancing is needed to ensure that your water chemistry is perfect. This involves water testing, which is important for a few reasons. When the pool is first installed, the surface hardens through chemical reaction. When the water level is not in balance, the surface won’t cure right. Testing is also essential for gathering information about the current levels in the pool, so adjustments can be made to balance the water.

Protect Your Investment, Ensure Your Pool Startup Is Performed Properly

Proper pool startup is essential for ensuring that your new pool or newly-renovated pool is functioning optimally. Starting up a pool correctly after construction or after a new interior installation is critical for maintaining the longevity and efficiency of the pool’s systems and ensuring the water is safe for swimming. Our team of certified technicians are experienced in performing proper pool startups, and will work to ensure that your pool is ready for use as soon as possible.
