CCA offers pool phosphate control in Palm Beach County; Wellington, Boynton Beach, Lake Worth, Jupiter, Royal Palm Beach, West Palm Beach and more.

Testing and Phosphate Control in Palm Beach County

Phosphates began to appear in the news back in the 1970’s. This is when “low-phosphate” laundry detergents first originated. This was to protect lakes, streams, wetlands and other runoff areas from the detrimental effects of excess phosphate as one of these effects is unwanted algae blooms. What is true for rivers, lakes and streams is true for your pool.

Where do phosphates come from?

Phosphate are constantly being introduced into your swimming pool water. They are found in lawn and garden fertilizers, decaying vegetation, municipal water, suntan lotion, and even other pool chemicals. Simply put, there is a fresh batch of phosphates entering your pool when any of the following occur:

  • phosphate control in palm beach countyThe wind blows dirt and dust into your pool
  • Municipal and well water
  • Sprinkler run off from your lawn or landscaping
  • Leaves, twigs, or bark enters your water
  • Rain, bird droppings, bugs and more

Testing and High High Phosphate Control in Palm Beach County

Phosphates are the primary ingredient in fertilizers. Phosphate is plant food, and algae are plants. If you have had persistant trouble with algae, you may have a phosphate problem in your pool. When excess phosphate is present in a swimming pool, the symptoms often include the following;

  • Poor Water Quality
  • Cloudy or Greenish Water
  • Slippery and Slimy Surfaces
  • Mustard or Green Colored Debris
  • Excessive Chemical Consumption

Save Money on Swimming Pool Energy Usage

How to save money on swimming pool energy usage. A recent study shows that in home with pools, electric bills at 49% higher. The culprit? The Pump.

Save Money on Swimming Pool Energy Usage

In a recent energy use study of 2 million households, a pattern emerged.

Homes with Pools use 49% more electricity than “No Pool” neighbors.

Now we knew pumps, especially single speed pumps, are big energy hogs, but let’s see why.

The Pool – a typical pool contains 20,000 gallons of water, which is more than the average person drinks in their lifetime. It’s long been known that a pool pump is the second biggest user of electricity behind air conditioning.

But give it a break, the average pump sends 20,000 gallons of water through a filter a day. It’s a workhorse and a half.

The Pump is the Culprit 

5632Single-speed pumps work fine for circulating pool water. However, they don’t efficiently harness enough power to run your pool cleaner, waterfall or other electrical extras that need an occasional larger dose of energy.

If you’re running a one speed pump, it’s always on. Your pump is always running full-blast even when your pool cleaner and waterfall aren’t operating. You have no option to dial it back to a lower level of energy. It’s a huge waste of energy, and it’s costing you about 75 percent more in electric bills than you should be paying.

Variable Speed Pumps Save Many – Many use up to 75% less energy.

A variable-speed pool pump is critical to maximizing pool energy efficiency. In contrast to a standard “single-speed” pump, a variable-speed model alternates between slow and fast modes to optimize energy use throughout the day, reducing pump electricity consumption by up to 75%.

An added benefit? They are quieter. 

It’s a big difference. Talk to the experts at Crystal Clear.

Swimming Pool Service in Wellington

Swimming Pool Service in Wellington

Pools are a great source of fun and entertainment. But it takes a significant amount of work to maintain a pool. You need to keep it clean, free of debris and chemically balanced to keep the water healthy for swimmers.

Pool service in Wellington

Crystal Clear Aquatics Pool & Spa Services

Hiring a professional swimming pool service in Wellington handle those tasks makes your life easier. It comes at a cost, of course, but if you can afford it, you’ll free up a lot more time to actually enjoy the pool, and also have more free time to spend here in Palm Beach County.

Here are some of the tasks that a professional pool cleaning service like Crystal Clear Aquatics will tackle:

  • Vacuuming the pool
  • Clearing out debris
  • Monitoring and balancing chemicals for clear, healthy water
  • Brushing and cleaning walls
  • Emptying skimmers and baskets
  • Making sure pool equipment is functioning properly

If your looking for a professional, knowledgeable pool service in Wellington, you should know…

Swimming Pool Cleaning Services Are Not All The Same

Prices vary from from one service to another and from one region of the country to another, but so do the services. But hiring a well-reviewed, family-run pool service (like Crystal Clear) can help keep you investment in good hands. The bottom line is most people spend more on installing in a pool, than what they spent on their car.

And the number 2 rule in pools (the #1 rule is WATCH small children) is If you don’t maintain your pool properly, you could cut the lifespan in half. And…if you don’t maintain it at all, you could cut it down to a quarter.

That’s not water down the drain, that’s money (and lot’s of it) down the drain. 

Also, consider replacing your pump. It can save you big and actually work better cleaning your pool as well.

A pool pump can consume up to half of a home’s entire energy output. They now make much more energy-efficient models and if your pool cleaners aren’t looking out for you. Who Is?

CCA - experts in salt water pool conversions in palm beach county

Salt Water Pool Conversions in Palm Beach

Crystal Clear Aquatics provides Expert Salt Water Pool Conversions in Palm Beach County, including Wellington, West Palm Beach, Boynton, Jupiter and more.

Salt Water Pool Conversions in Palm Beach

While salt water pool conversion in Palm Beach County are becoming more popular, Crystal Clear would like to clear up a few misconceptions on salt water pool conversions in Palm Beach and Florida as well. Manufacturers tend to make you think it’s easier then the “old fashion” way. That’s not universally true. Let’s look at how salt water pools work.

What is a Salt Water Pool?

the experts in salt water conversions in palm beach county

Saltwater pools use a chlorine generator that simply creates chlorine from salt. As a low concentration of saltwater (see below) travels through the pool’s circulation system, it enters the chlorine generator and a low-voltage current is applied to initiate electrolysis. By harnessing electrolysis to the dissolved salt in the water, hypochlorous acid is produced. Hypochlorous acid is a weak acid with the chemical formula HClO. It forms when chlorine dissolves in water, and it is HClO that actually does the disinfection when chlorine is used to disinfect water for human use. The hypochlorous acid sanitizes the swimming pool water, which eventually reverts back to dissolved salt in the water, and the entire process repeats as the saltwater passes through the chlorine generator again. The reality is, a salt pool uses the same chlorine as a traditional pool, it just produces it poolside through a different process without any of the additives that are used to preserve packaged chlorine you would buy at the store.

Even better, it really not even salt water as you would typically think. For instance, here are salt concentrations as a comparison:

Ocean Water – 35,000 PPM
Human Tear – 9,000 PPM
Salt Pools – 3,000 PPM

Why Do Salt Water Conversions in Palm Beach County?

The biggest difference associated with using saltwater chlorination versus manually adding chlorine that’s most noticeable is smell. The famous “chlorine smell,” along with eye and skin irritations typically associated with chlorine, are actually created by sanitation byproducts called chloramines. Chloramines are essentially bacteria or organic particles (dander, sweat, pollen and more) that have been killed by the chlorine, but are only partially oxidized. So what you actually smell are the chloramines, which is essentially partially destroyed organic material. When you catch wind of that “clorine smell”, it means there wasn’t enough chlorine available to completely destroy the organic material in the pool.

Softer water with salt water pool converions in palm beach countyThe reason a “salt pool” feels, smells, and generally provides a more pleasant experience, is because, when working properly, the saltwater system is generating enough chlorine to completely finish the process and fully oxidize any organic material that enters the pool automatically every day, with minimal pool owner intervention. The main benefit of using a salt system for your pool are that pool owners don’t have to purchase, carry, or measure chlorine for pool use, or worry about spilling and splashing, as well as storing it safely around kids and pets. Other benefits include long-term cost reduction, and consistent, reliable pool sanitation without the “peaks and valleys” of consistently treating the pool with chlorine.

Crystal Clear Aquatics Pool Cleaning in Wellington

Maintaining a swimming pool or spa can be a lot of work, which is why homeowners decide to outsource it to a professional pool cleaning service. Compared to the overall cost of an in-ground pool, hiring a swimming pool cleaning service isn’t all that expensive at all, But what are some of the things you should consider when choosing a a company for pool cleaning in Wellington?

For Pool Cleaning in Wellington and surrounding areas in Palm Beach County, Choose someone who offers all the services you’ll need to be a happy pool owner.

When considering a pool service package, make sure it includes all the services you need. Most pool cleaners offer the full array of services you might want, but they may not all be included in the standard package. Typical services offered include:

  • expert pool cleaning in wellingtonTesting pool chemistry and adding chemicals as needed to “balance” the pool or spa
  • Skimming debris from the pool
  • Cleaning the pool floor and walls

Choose a Professional for Pool Cleaning in Wellington

Not every pool person has to come dressed in a uniform with the company logo on it, but they should all operate professionally. In other words, they should bring things to the table that an amateur does not. For instance, this could mean using expensive commercial grade equipment to do a better and more thorough job than you could do yourself.

Spend Wisely

The best pool cleaning in WellingtonWe probably don’t need to mention this, but it bears repeating. Cost is on of the primary factors in most buying decisions, and it plays a role when hiring a pool cleaner as well. The key here is not to let cost dominate the decision.

Bottom line: If you can’t count on your pool service, you can’t count on being able to enjoy your pool. Considering your combined investment on the pool and the pool cleaning service, that’s clearly unacceptable.

Pool Cleaning in Wellington You Can Trust

Trust is obviously important, but it’s worth reinforcing. Know that the people cleaning your pool will spend a significant amount of time on your property.

Choosing a service you trust is essential to getting your moProfesional pool cleaning in Wellingtonney’s worth when searching for pool cleaning in Wellington.

It’s pretty unlikely that you’ll personally know the pool cleaner, so you should look for someone with a permanent business address. Take a moment to check out their references, the exact same way you would if selecting a contractor to build a pool. Because for pool cleaning in Wellington, or anywhere for that matter, personal character matters immensely and you’ll want someone who is both trustworthy and reliable, performing the work as scheduled.

Money Saving Tips for Pool Owners in Palm Beach County

Here is a Money Saving Tip for Pool Owners in Palm Beach County from the friendly folks at Crystal Clear Aquatics in Royal Palm Beach, Florida.

Money Saving Tips for Pool Owners in Palm Beach County

Pools are a lot of work, and they aren’t free so, in these times when the costs of most everything is rising, there are ways to save big such as:

Pool Pumps through the night

Variable Speed Pool Pumps Save Florida Pool Owners MoneyMany utility companies have low cost plans for running major appliances at night, known as the off-peak hours and rates, that can lead to considerable savings for pool owners. Make a phone call or check your billing statement and find out if running your pool filter at night is the way to go. If it is, buy a programmable pump that can give you the freedom to run your filter at the most cost-efficient times. Also, a programmable, variable-speed pump allows you to adjust the speed at which the water is pumped through the filter, which means energy isn’t wasted during those times in the cycle when a slower flow is appropriate. This could save you 50% or more on your electric bill, since the pool pump is the second biggest user of electric behind central air. A programmable variable speed pump could be the best pool equipment you ever purchased. 

 

Cutting corners on maintenance tasks is not a way to save. That often ends in costing you much more. If we’re honest with ourselves, we already know that “If something is worth doing, it’s worth doing right.”
