Understanding Pool Water Chemistry

Many pool problems start with improper water balance.

pH

pH affects swimmer comfort, equipment longevity, and chlorine effectiveness.

When pH becomes too high:

  • Chlorine becomes less effective

  • Scale formation increases

  • Water can become cloudy

  • Salt cells can accumulate buildup

When pH becomes too low:

  • Water becomes corrosive

  • Equipment damage can occur

  • Plaster surfaces may deteriorate

Most pools perform best with a pH between 7.4 and 7.8.

Total Alkalinity

Total alkalinity helps stabilize pH and prevent sudden fluctuations.

Pools with low alkalinity often experience constant pH swings, while high alkalinity can make pH difficult to adjust.

Free Chlorine and Active Chlorine

Many homeowners focus only on chlorine readings without understanding chlorine efficiency.

The actual sanitizing power of chlorine depends on:

  • pH levels

  • Water temperature

  • Stabilizer levels

  • Sun exposure

A pool can show adequate chlorine levels while still struggling with algae if active chlorine is insufficient.

Cyanuric Acid (Stabilizer)

Gilbert pools receive intense sunlight nearly year-round.

Cyanuric acid helps protect chlorine from UV degradation. However, excessive stabilizer can reduce chlorine effectiveness and create water quality issues.

Phosphates

Phosphates provide nutrients that algae can use to grow.

Common phosphate sources include:

  • Fertilizer runoff

  • Landscaping debris

  • Dust storms

  • Irrigation overspray

  • Organic contamination

While phosphates do not automatically create algae, they can contribute to recurring algae problems when sanitizer levels fall.

Calcium Hardness

Gilbert's water supply is naturally high in calcium.

Excessive calcium hardness can contribute to:

  • Tile scale

  • Salt cell scaling

  • Heater damage

  • Cloudy water

  • Rough pool surfaces

Managing calcium levels is one of the most important aspects of Arizona pool care.

Total Dissolved Solids (TDS)

Over time, dissolved minerals and contaminants accumulate in pool water.

High TDS levels may reduce chemical efficiency and contribute to water clarity problems.

How a Swimming Pool Circulation System Works

Your pool depends on proper circulation to remain clean and healthy.

Water flows through:

  1. Skimmers and drains

  2. Suction plumbing

  3. Pool pump

  4. Filter system

  5. Heater or salt system

  6. Return plumbing

  7. Back into the pool

Every component plays an important role in maintaining water quality.

Types of Pool Pumps

Single-Speed Pool Pumps

Older pools commonly use single-speed pumps.

Advantages:

  • Lower upfront cost

  • Simple operation

Disadvantages:

  • Higher energy consumption

  • Increased operating costs

  • Louder performance

Variable-Speed Pool Pumps

Modern variable-speed pumps offer substantial benefits.

Benefits include:

  • Lower electric bills

  • Quieter operation

  • Improved circulation

  • Longer equipment life

We install and service Pentair, Jandy, Hayward, and other leading manufacturers.

Pool Filters Explained

Cartridge Filters

Popular throughout Gilbert because they provide excellent filtration while conserving water.

Benefits:

  • No backwashing required

  • Excellent water clarity

  • Lower water consumption

Sand Filters

Reliable filtration systems that use specially graded filter sand.

DE Filters

Diatomaceous earth filters provide extremely fine filtration and outstanding water clarity.

Salt Water Pool Service

Salt water pools require regular monitoring and maintenance.

We inspect:

  • Salt cell condition

  • Salt concentration

  • Chlorine production

  • Water chemistry

  • Scale buildup

Proper maintenance helps maximize salt cell life and maintain clear water.

Understanding Pool Leaks

Many homeowners suspect a leak when water levels drop.

However, water loss may also result from:

  • Evaporation

  • Wind

  • Splash-out

  • Backwashing

Potential leak locations include:

Skimmers

Small cracks around skimmers can allow water to escape underground.

Return Lines

Pressure-side leaks often create wet areas in landscaping.

Suction Lines

Suction-side leaks may allow air to enter the circulation system.

Pool Lights

Light niches can occasionally become leak points.

Equipment Pads

Filters, pumps, valves, and plumbing fittings can all develop leaks over time.

Signs of a potential leak include:

  • Constant water loss

  • Wet soil near plumbing routes

  • Air bubbles from return jets

  • Increased water bills
