Caring for Your Pool Equipment Through Proper Pool Chemistry

Upgrading the equipment on your pool pad can be a big undertaking, so you want to be sure you’re keeping that equipment in great shape. With the right care, your equipment can last for years before needing replaced or upgraded. But what is “the right care?” The experts at Pinch A Penny are here to teach you how to ensure that your equipment stays in great shape and lasts.

Why does my pool have stains?

If you’re seeing stains on your pool surface, chances are there are already metals in your water. Though metals do come from corrosion and improper pool balance, it’s also worth noting that metals can come from anywhere. They can be found in your source water, in some algaecides, or even plumbing. Once those metals make their way into your pool water, they can react with chlorine and UV rays and deposit stains on your pool surface.

How do I treat stains in my pool?

Treating pool stains can be tricky business. Before you can begin the treatment process, you have to identify types of pool stains and see what you’re working with. You can do this with a Suncoast Stain IDentification Test Kit and follow the steps to identify and remove stains. If you’re feeling unsure about treating stains on your own, we recommend calling in the pool care experts at your local Pinch A Penny.

Keeping your pool pad equipment in top condition is essential to protecting your investment and avoiding costly upgrades down the road. With the right care and maintenance, your equipment can serve you well for many years. By following the expert advice from Pinch A Penny, you’ll be well on your way to ensuring your equipment remains reliable, efficient, and ready for every season.
