In most cases when you see strange looking worm like creatures in your swimming pool, you are actually dealing with insect larvae and the best way to get rid of it is to use special chemicals that are not harmful for people, but will eradicate the population of unwanted guests.

You should always check the water and look for any kid of insect larvae or strange organism that is swimming around because there are some parasites that can attach to your skin and end up causing an infection that will be very harmful to your health. The best way to maintain your pool clean is to use special liquids that purify the water and ensure that you won’t have to deal with any issues. This is very important and you have to keep a close eye on your pool.

Your health and the health of your loved ones could be greatly affected if you allow for these sort of parasites and bacteria carrying organisms to be floating around and swimming around in your pool. Remember that your protection should always be first when it comes to your swimming pool and proper maintenance is not something as simple as some people might think it is.

Always look for a reliable team of people who can provide great services at affordable prices and you should be able to keep things under control. Otherwise you need to purchase all the cleaning items we mentioned if you want to perform the maintenance yourself.

The fall is probably the messiest season due to how many leaves fall into the ground and that is the main reason why proper maintenance is required.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space][/vc_column][/vc_row]

What is the best pool filter

When you are thinking of getting the best kind of pool filter, you need to consider a number of things before you make your decision. A good filter for your pool is going to be extremely important and it will help keep your pool clean for much longer, which means you will be saving a lot of money on your pool cleaning needs. With that said there are three types of filters for swimming pools and we will be talking about the advantages and disadvantages that each one has to offer.

The earth filter

This is probably the finest method for filtration that is currently available. They are excellent for the purest filtration that you can find, but they do have the issue of being extremely high maintenance in comparison to the sand filter.

The sand filter

This is the oldest of all the pool filtration systems available. This is the one that is used by most people and it has the advantage of being a lot easier to change and cleanup. The best thing is that it won’t need to be disassembled at any point in order for proper maintenance to be performed.

Cartridge filters

The cartridge has the advantage of being able to handle more pressure than the earth filters, but they also have the same issues of being harder to maintain than the sand filter. It all comes down to how practical you want to be and how much pressure you are planning to apply with the pumps.

Conclusion

All of the filters have their pros and cons and it will come down to how much time you want to spend providing maintenance and how important filtering quality will be deepening on your location.

How to Choose the Right Swimming Pool Fence, and or Baby Fence

Just like swimming pools themselves have changed with time, pool fences have become quite different over the years than they were in the beginning. And while it’s important to have a fence around your swimming pool for many reasons, it’s even more important to have a baby fence, to ensure that the littlest ones among us are protected from harm.

Here we will be discussing the three basic types of fence available today for swimming pools, their advantages and disadvantages, with a big nod to baby fences.

Ornamental Aluminum

This has become the most sought after type of pool fence in the country today thanks to its long-lasting durability and sophisticated appearance. The process of powder coating is used with this fence. What this means is that the aluminum is coated with a dry powder which is put on as a free flowing agent rather than ordinary paint.

Wrought iron fence is totally different. This material is exceedingly heavy and has a painted surface. It’s a fact that iron fence is seldom used around pools because of its tendency to be a lot more costly and takes a lot more time and effort to maintain.

PVC

This type of fence is often used around pools. It comes in two basic styles: standard fence, which is 48″-54″ tall with with either solid slats or spaced pickets; and, if you insist upon your privacy, a privacy fence, which is 6′-7′ tall with the slats butted together to make a solid panel. A lot of people like to have lattice or spindles added for the top foot of the fence to make the design look more attractive.

If you think you might like this kind of fence, it is ideal for privacy, low maintenance, has many styles to choose from, and another plus is that many manufacturers can adapt their styles to custom heights for only a minimal or no extra charge at all. The main concerns with this type of fence is that the gates start to sag after a while, and if your pool is located in a wet shady area, mildew can form on the fence.

Wood

Even though wood tends to be dominated by PVC and aluminum because of their low maintenance benefits, it has still remained highly popular. In fact, thousands of wood fences are placed around pools annually. It’s a completely natural material, it’s easy to customize, and looks good too.

Mesh

Along with all the types of fences listed above, there is also mesh fence good for areas with compounds with children and babies. It’s a great baby fence, because this fence can be removed and a child or baby can’t climb it because it lacks foot holds. Many mesh fences also come with a self-closing, self-latching pool gate, which has no top cross bars. Perfect for keeping children safe.

Pool Shock Treatment

A pool without treatment for a long time can turn green due to algae infestation, in this case, it is necessary to provide a special treatment called shock. This treatment is also necessary when the pool is contaminated with feces or dead animals.

The Pool Shock Treatment is characterized by the addition of chlorine in the pool above the regular amount. Normally we add 14 grams of granular chlorine for every 1000 liters of water in the pool.

The shock treatment in the pool is used when there is a very serious problem in the pool and only the excess chlorine can solve, such as:

Heavy rains;

Water contamination by dead animals or feces;

Excess organic material in water;

A large number of swimmers attending the pool daily;

Green water and signs of algae growth;

Complaints of burning eyes or strong chlorine odor;

Unpleasant odor in the pool;

Shock treatment in the swimming pool

Check and adjust the levels of alkalinity (80-120 ppm) and pH (7.0 to 7.4). Add 14 g of chlorine granules per cubic meter of water.

After the addition of extra chlorine, all the dirt from the water would fall to the bottom of the pool. Now we will be able to vacuum the bottom.

Eagle Pools Services is prepared and qualified to undertake the treatment of your pool keeping it always clean and clear!

The solar pool cover it is made to be placed on the surface of the pool water to keep your pool heated and protected.

Usually made of a plastic film of polyethylene with UV treatment against ultraviolet rays, the solar pool cover can increase your pool temperature by 15 degrees.

The solar pool cover in a heated pool it is very helpful because it does facilitate the pool cleaning and maintenance, also reduces the consumption of electric energy spent by the heating system and water consumption (because of evaporation).

With the solar pool cover you can reduce by more than 30 the power consumption with the pool heating;
Saving water because it prevents a lot of water loss by evaporation.

Stains on fiber and vinyl pool

Stains on vinyl pools or fiber can be removed by lowering the pH to below pH 6.8 using reducer. Lowering the pH becomes acidic water and softens stains making them easy to remove.

The treatment may have the duration of one week, during this period the pool will be closed, and brushing of spots on the surface of the pool should be performed with a brush. Do not use abrasive materials.

After removing stain, vacuum the bottom of the pool with the filter in the drain position. Adjust the parameters of alkalinity and pH, keep the chlorine content of between 1 and 3 ppm.
