August - Tips of the Month! - Aqua Pool & Spa Pros

Mid season tips for keeping your pool clean & clear. Back washing your sand filter, or cleaning cartridge filters regularly is very useful in keeping pool sparkling blue. These remove small debris that can make your pool unsightly! Hot spikes come & go, just like your chlorine in your pool. Keeping up on replacing your tablets as well as shocking the pool weekly will help reduce the chance of algae & cloudy pools.

August is a great time to do a Drain, Clean & Refill on your spa. You want to drain your spa water about every three months, depending on how high your cyanuric acid level is. This can be determined with a simple water test at our shop if you are unsure. Testing takes all of five minutes. Before draining the actual spa, come in and grab the phenomenal purple goo, Total Cleanse, to kill all of the bacteria & bio film deep in the plumbing of the spa which normally never gets cleaned. Improve the longevity and functionality of your spa with using the Hot Tub Total Cleanse once every six months.  When refilling the spa and especially if you are on well water, you will want to use a pre-filter. Which helps filter out copper and iron.
