A Pool Heater Is Not A Luxury Item!


A POOL HEATER IS NOT A LUXURY ITEM !

If you're like me, pool water is perfect in the 85° for the pool and 101° for the spa. For many people, there's about 4 weeks of perfect water temperature, naturally heated by the sun, and then there's the rest of the season, less than 80°. That doesn't bother some people, but if you like warm water, decide on which is best for you - solar, electric or gas pool heat, and have it installed.  A pool heater can be added at any time. Also, in our beautiful valley, we have amazing solar exposure for solar heating.   

There are several types of heaters (solar, electric, or gas) and several different sizes (BTU for heating).  Each swimming pool seems to have its own personality and its own equipment set ups, so that is the reason for the different options.

To decide which one fits your pool the best and also accomplishes what you want it to do (heating time, efficiency, etc.) Call Doug 760-409-3763 to review what would work best for you, with a no charge consultation at your pool!

Pool and Spa Main Drain Repairs

While it is often referred to as a main drain, the main drain in your pool or spa doesn't actually let you empty your pool or spa. Instead, this 'drain' allows for water to be pumped out of the pool and through the plumbing system. Water that exits through the main drain is often sent through a filtration system that is controlled by your pool or spa pump and returned via your pool or spa jets or inlets. If something should go wrong with your pool or spa main drain such as a clog or cracked pipe, this can lead to some major inefficiencies with the rest of your pool's equipment. Since the main drain is usually located at the lowest point of a pool or spa, it may not often get as much notice when something goes wrong. To help you determine when it's time to call for pool and spa main drain repairs, take a look at some examples of common issues listed below. Increased Suction Sometimes a main drain will remove water at an accelerated rate because another one

Tree Root Problems With My Pool, What Do I Need To Do?

Tree Root Problems With My Pool, What Do I Need To Do? This truly is a very extreme picture of damage tree roots can do to your pool, your deck, and your plumbing! Most of the time, the damage is much more subtle.   You might have a higher water bill (roots cause leaks).   You might notice that your salt cell can’t keep up with the chemistry (leaks caused by roots have the effect of taking the chemicals with the water running out)   We have had tree roots undermine and break up concrete pool decks, we’ve also seen roots come right through the pool walls, skimmers, tile, coping, and actually grow down the plumbing lines. I swear that some tree roots can "smell" the water in the pool, and make a beeline for it, stretching it's branches out until it pokes a hole, and busts up the floor or walls of your pool.   Usually you will notice something is “strange” long before it becomes this severe.   The first warning you may have is that your pool starts lea

Cleaning vs Replacing Waterline Tiles

A great looking swimming pool is always a positive feature on any property. Like a fresh cut lawn or a newly painted house, a pristine swimming pool is an eye-catching feature that will improve the overall appearance of any yard. Over time however, certain parts of your pool's appearance may start to decline. Waterline tiles are often prone to some type of deterioration over time. In many cases, proper pool care and regular cleaning can help maintain your pool surfaces, but eventually you may need to replace your waterline tiles entirely. To help you determine when its time to replace or simply clean and/or repair the waterline tiles in your pool, take a look at the helpful tips written below.
