Pool Stains and Scaling- The Importance of Water Balance
Stains and scaling can be caused by not keeping your swimming pool
water balanced, which means keeping calcium, pH, and total alkalinity
at the proper levels. Tile and water line cleaners as well as enzymes help remove scale, grime, oils and other
materials that can float on top of your swimming pool water. They help
clean those unsightly lines that can form on your swimming pool tile,
vinyl liner or even your swimming pool steps.
Rust and scale remover also helps in preventing stains and scaling. We have products called Stain Free and Scale Free. It is especially important to use in areas that have high levels of minerals and metals in the water and areas where consumers are filling their swimming pools with well water. It is very important that you have your pH levels in the proper range when using this product for it to work effectively.
Hardness increaser helps to prevent staining of swimming pool surfaces caused by low hardness (which is calcium) levels. It is important to use hardness increaser to prevent your pool water from becoming corrosive, which can cause damage to your swimming pool heaters and pumps. Parrot Bay Pools & Spas is here to help you with your water balancing concerns.

Phosphates… What are They and Why Should You Care?
Phosphates… What are they and why should you care?
What are Phosphates?
Phosphates are a natural mineral that is mined and used in many of today’s off the shelf products, including some pool treatment chemicals, personal hygiene products (deodorant, shampoo, etc), and even some food products.
How Do Phosphates Affect Pool Care?
Phosphates are food for algae. The higher the level of phosphates in a pool, the more microscopic algae that you’ll also have in the pool. Since more of your free chlorine is then occupied killing algae, less is available to form a sanitizer residual. High phosphate loads, when left untreated, will generally result in higher chlorine demand and can even lead to algae blooms in your pool. A higher chlorine demand can tax, or even overwhelm, the production capacity of a chlorine generator. For operators using granular or liquid chlorine, for example, high phosphate levels can result in unnecessarily high chlorine bills, due to using more chlorine than otherwise would be necessary to kill the algae in the water.

How Do I get Rid of Phosphates?
You need a phosphate remover. Bring your water to Parrot Bay Pools or your local pool store and ask them to test it for phosphates and depending on the level in the water they can tell you how to treat your water to keep it algae free!
You can view our Video Resources section of our website http://www.parrotbaypoolsnc.com/video-resources for more discussion on phosphates.
