Calcium in your swimming pool is going to be one of the most challenging situations you might have to deal with. It’s challenging because most swimming pool owners aren’t aware of it, don’t know much about it, and most importantly have no clue what to do when the levels get high (other than drain their pool because that is what they were told). We hope this blog post gives you some insight into what to do if you own a swimming pool and live in areas where the fill water is loaded with calcium and other hardness minerals. Specifically, in Arizona, our tap water comes from the Colorado River which carves its way through the Grand Canyon. Since the Grand Canyon is loaded with limestone the water is harder than most areas of the country. This causes numerous problems with faucets, shower heads, countertops, sinks and so much more. These are issues that most homeowners are aware of because they see it all the time, but what about your swimming pool? Have you ever thought about what high calcium levels in your water do to your swimming pool?
As water evaporates, the calcium, magnesium, and other hardness minerals remain in solution and continue to rise. As these levels get higher and higher, you will start to notice calcium scaling on the water tile line, the interior finish of the swimming pool, your filtration equipment, decorative fountains and so much more. If you spend a lot of money on decorative tile and water features, they will soon be loaded with thick white calcium that is extremely difficult to remove! Not to mention very hard to look at.
HARD WATER ISSUES IN THE GREATER PHOENIX AREA
Another issue is that high calcium levels cause challenges with maintaining the chemistry in your swimming pool. That’s why most pool professionals will tell you that changing out the water in your swimming pool every two years to prevent this problem is a smart idea. This is where Pool Water Recycling comes into play. Instead of draining your pool, we have a way to conserve up to 85% of the water that’s in the pool, which is great during the drought, it never exposes the interior finish which prevents cracking and our promise is to give you better water than you’d get out of the tap.
MOBILE REVERSE OSMOSIS OPTION FOR SWIMMING POOLS
With our mobile Reverse Osmosis Trailer, we have the ability to process 40,000 gallons of water a day. With RO we will lower the following:
- Calcium Hardness
- TDS
- CYA
- Phosphates
- Nitrates
- Salts
- Waterborne Diseases
Not to mention, we will give you the best quality of water to swim in. So, why wait…. Let’s conserve some water by not draining but rather recycling your existing water! Contact us today for a quote!
