Pool Chemistry Explained
Many pool companies simply add chemicals and leave. We believe homeowners should understand how their pool works.
pH
pH controls how effectively chlorine sanitizes your water.
When pH rises above the recommended range:
Chlorine becomes less effective
Water may become cloudy
Scale can develop
Salt cells can become damaged
When pH drops too low:
Equipment corrosion increases
Plaster damage can occur
Water becomes aggressive
Most Arizona pools should remain between 7.4 and 7.8.
Total Alkalinity
Alkalinity helps stabilize pH levels.
Low alkalinity often causes constant pH swings while excessive alkalinity can make pH difficult to adjust.
Free Chlorine vs Active Chlorine
Many pool owners only look at chlorine readings without understanding chlorine effectiveness.
A pool can test high for chlorine but still struggle with algae if water conditions reduce active chlorine levels.
Factors affecting chlorine performance include:
pH
Cyanuric acid levels
Water temperature
Sun exposure
Cyanuric Acid (Stabilizer)
Arizona sunlight destroys chlorine quickly.
Cyanuric acid protects chlorine from UV damage, but excessive stabilizer can reduce chlorine efficiency.
Finding the proper balance is critical.
Phosphates
Phosphates act as food for algae.
Common sources include:
Wind-blown dust
Fertilizer runoff
Leaves and debris
Irrigation overspray
High phosphate levels don't automatically create algae, but they can contribute to algae growth when sanitizer levels fall.
Calcium Hardness
Mesa pools commonly experience elevated calcium hardness due to Arizona's water supply.
High calcium levels can lead to:
Scale buildup
Heater damage
Salt cell scaling
Tile deposits
Cloudy water
Proper water balance helps prevent costly damage.
Total Dissolved Solids (TDS)
Over time, dissolved minerals accumulate in pool water.
High TDS levels may contribute to:
Water clarity issues
Reduced chemical effectiveness
Increased scaling
In some situations, partial water replacement may be recommended.
How Your Pool System Works
Every swimming pool relies on proper circulation.
Water flows through:
Skimmers
Main drains
Pool pump
Filter system
Heater or salt system
Return lines
If any component fails, water quality often suffers.
Pool Pumps Explained
Single-Speed Pumps
Older pools often use single-speed pumps.
Advantages:
Simple design
Lower purchase price
Disadvantages:
Higher energy costs
Louder operation
Variable-Speed Pumps
Most modern Mesa pools benefit from variable-speed pumps.
Benefits include:
Significant energy savings
Quieter operation
Better circulation
Longer equipment life
We install and service Pentair, Jandy, and Hayward pool pumps.

Understanding Pool Leaks
Many homeowners assume water loss means a leak.
Sometimes water loss is caused by:
Evaporation
Wind
Splash-out
Filter backwashing
Potential leak locations include:
Skimmers
Small cracks in skimmers can allow water to escape underground.
Return Lines
Pressure-side plumbing leaks often create wet areas in landscaping.
Suction Lines
Leaks on the suction side may introduce air into the system.
Pool Lights
Older light niches can occasionally become leak points.
Equipment Pads
Valve fittings, filters, heaters, and pumps can all develop leaks over time.
Signs of a potential leak include:
Constant water loss
Wet soil near plumbing lines
Air bubbles in returns
Increased water bills
Green Pool Cleanup in Mesa
Arizona heat can turn a pool green surprisingly fast.
Our green pool cleanup services include:
Water testing
Algae treatment
Vacuuming
Brushing
Filtration adjustments
Water balancing
We focus on correcting the root cause rather than simply adding chemicals.
Salt Water Pool Service
Salt systems offer excellent convenience but still require maintenance.
We inspect:
Salt cell condition
Salt levels
Water balance
Cell scaling
Chlorine production
Proper maintenance helps extend salt cell life and improve water quality.
Why Mesa Pools Require Specialized Care
Mesa pools face unique challenges:
Temperatures exceeding 110°F
High evaporation rates
Hard water
Dust storms
Monsoon debris
Heavy UV exposure
These conditions require proactive maintenance and proper water chemistry management.
