Green
Pools are No Fun!
This heat has been great for swimming. But it is also the perfect conditions for algae to break out. In fact, it might seem that an algae bloom happens almost over night. Algae reproduces at a much faster rate in warm water. If we don't increase the amount of chlorine in our swimming pool to compensate for extra bathers, longer usage and the faster rate of algae growth, we can easily end up with a green pool almost over night. Keep algae away with 3 simple steps each week. Sanitize with pucks, shock weekly, and add a maintenance dose of algaecide to prevent a swimming pool nightmare. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. Ask us about Aquabrite tabs to help keep your water clean, clear and safe.

Pool Renovations
Now is
the time to schedule your pool renovations.
1. Enhance Your Surroundings Consider a new or updated pool deck. You can extend the look of interior flooring to experience an outdoor family room with man-made or natural materials. Stain existing concrete. Or brush up dated, cracked or stressed concrete patios with a thick overlay and new finish. Add a sound or media system, or even an outdoor kitchen or fireplace for greater enjoyment.
2. Add a Hot Tub
Experience the relaxation of a soothing soak or the health benefits from warm water therapy. There’s a hot tub for every need, every setting, and every budget.
3. Replace Your Liner
Change out your old,
faded, hanging liner now. Choose an updated new pattern, color, and design.
4. Add a Water Feature
Waterfalls come in all
shapes and sizes from rock features to planters with sheer descents. Come and
see us for some options.
5. Think technology
New automatic cleaners have units that “walk” along your pool floor. These newer systems require practically no supervision. And you can still swim while the system cleans your pool. Digital controls make operating pool equipment easier than ever, letting you control lighting, heating, and cleaning with the touch of the button or with your tablet or smartphone.Upgrades like a salt chlorinator system or a solar cover and heater can improve both functionality and efficiency.
Keep in mind, you don’t
have to do everything at once. Pool renovations can be done over several
seasons, allowing you to make the improvements and fund your investment at a
pace that works for you.

Loves Our New Hot Tubs and You Will Too
We have several new hot tub models in the store with more on
the way! All of our hot tubs come with a free cover and steps! Come on in and
and look around. Here are the top 5 reasons to buy a hot tub according to the
APSP.
1. Hot tubs are affordable.
Portable hot tubs are more affordable than ever before, due to efficient manufacturing practices and competing brands. "We've managed to merge higher-end features into our hot tubs while lowering the price points, because that's what customers are demanding". 2. Hot tubs fit anywhere. The portable hot tub industry has adapted to consumers lifestyles. Hot tubs come in all different shapes and sizes, from two-person hot tubs to 10-person models. Hot tubs can be installed indoors or outdoors, in as little area as 64 square feet or less. Another emerging trend in hot tubs is swim spas, designed for those wanting the convenience of swimming, training or just relaxing. 3. You can use a hot tub year round no matter where you live. Hot tubs can be used year-round in any climate. Many owners use their hot tubs more in the winter, when bubbly heat remarkably offsets falling snow. 4. Hot tubs are easy to maintain and are energy efficient. Newer technology has allowed the hot tub owner to keep water clean and clear with a couple of minutes of weekly maintenance. New models are being produced that will meet new APSP energy efficiency standards and to meet consumers' demands for greener products. 5. Hot tubs provide "vacations/therapy" 365 days of the year. Hot tubs provide the ideal venue to connect with family and friends. They provide a multitude of health benefits ranging from stress reduction to muscle recovery. "We've really seen a push toward hot water therapy. Having a place to relax, connect and heal after a long day can really be the ultimate gift that keeps on giving."

Hot Tub Water Chemistry and Maintenance
Thinking of investing in a hot tub, but worried about the
maintenance? Many clients ask this before
purchasing a hot tub. Making sure your hot tub water
is clean and maintained is a major part of owning a hot tub. No one wants to
hang out in a hot tub with dirty water. We are here to help you keep your hot
tub sparkling and make sure it lasts you for many years to come. You should start by testing your spa water by using test strips or bringing a water sample to Parrot Bay Pools & Spas. If you are using Chlorine as a primary sanitizer, you need to use a test strip that is suited for chlorine while if you are using bromine, you need to use a Bromine test strip. Chemical test strips measure the pH, alkalinity, calcium hardness and chlorine level of spa water. Some of our clients also use non-chlorine chemicals in their hot tubs. If you are using non-chlorine chemicals then use the testing procedure for your chemicals.
The first step after testing the water is to correct a hardness problem if one exists. The calcium hardness should be between 250 ppm and 400 ppm. If the water is too soft, it will foam and cause corrosion of your spa equipment. If the water is too hard, it will cause mineral build up on the heater element. The typical problem is the water is too soft and requires the addition of calcium to raise the hardness of the water. If you have a high metal content this should also be addressed by using a metal sequestering agent, such as our Metal Out.
Next, you can adjust the pH and alkalinity, which are related and use the same chemicals to adjust the levels. Make the first adjustment using the alkalinity reading. If the alkalinity is too high, use a decreaser product to lower the level and if it is already too low, use a product to raise the level. Add the chemical in low doses, as it might take a long time to change the alkalinity. It is important to not overdose when doing this as it will take a lot of the opposite chemical to remedy the issue. When the alkalinity is in range, it is time to correct the pH readings by using. You want the pH to be between 7.0 and 7.8.
Now you can add the sanitizer. If the water is cloudy or smells, you can shock the water by bringing the level to around 10 ppm, but DO NOT use the spa when the sanitizer level is this high. Even if you are using a non-chlorine sanitizer I would still recommend using a chlorine shock at least every other time you shock the spa. Shocking the water will ensure all bacteria and organic compounds are destroyed. You can leave on the pumps and uncover the spa to help dissipate the excess levels or chlorine back to the normal levels of between 3 ppm and 5 ppm. Once it is within these normal ranges, it is safe to use the spa again.
You also need to make sure the water is clean on an ongoing basis by shock treating the water and maintaining the sanitizer level. The warm water of hot tubs would provide an ideal breeding ground for potentially harmful microorganisms if you do not initiate and maintain an effective sanitizer system to control them.
In order to keep your water fresh, you should add your sanitizer of choice or some shock after you use the hot tub and cycle the pumps on before your cover it. This way, the chlorine will work on killing any bacteria that might have remained after your spa session.
Parrot Bay Pools & Spas has other chemicals such as de-foamers and clarifiers that will help you keep your spa water clear and clean. We have a Chemical Starter Kit that contains all the chemicals that are necessary to maintain high quality spa water,
