The BOAST chemical system for swimming pool maintenance

By Pool Service No Comments

Learning and understanding how your pool works will help you to achieve water that not only looks inviting but is also clean and safe to enjoy.  Swimming pool maintenance can be a little baffling and so the BOAST pool chemical system was created with the intent of simplifying all that chemical jargon and complicated formulae, making it possible for everyday swimming pool owners to run their swimming pools economically and successfully.

What does BOAST stand for?

B : Balance of your swimming pool water for maximum chemical efficiency

O : Oxidise to establish a sanitiser level, then again weekly to destroy all unwanted waste products

A : Algae prevention

S : Sanitise to prevent and destroy bacteria  

T : Test your water on a regular basis

Balancing your pool water

Keeping well balanced pool water is important for a number of reasons including:

  • ŸChemical efficiency
  • ŸSwimmer comfort
  • Ensure the protection and longevity of pool and plant room equipment
  • Water quality and appearance

To achieve the correct water balance, the pH of the water, Calcium hardness, Total Alkalinity and Total dissolved solids must all be maintained within their ideal levels.  These are as follows:

pH: 7.2-7.6

Calcium Hardness: 200-275mg/l

Total Alkalinity: 80-150mg/l

Total Dissolved Solids: less than 1,500mg/l

pH

The pH is a measure of how acidic or alkaline the water is.  The pH scale ranges from 0 to 14 with 0 being most acidic and 14 being very alkaline.  The ideal pH for swimming pool water is between 7.2 and 7.6.  This results in the water being slightly alkaline which protects the pool and plant room equipment from the water becoming too aggressive and corrosive.  If the pH of your swimming pool is left to rise above or below this desired figure the following problems can occur:

PH drops below 7.2:

  • Water becomes corrosive
  • Etching of surfaces
  • Staining
  • Irritation to the skin and eyes
  • Damage to swimming pool components and equipment

PH rises above 7.6:

  • Scale Formation
  • Filter calcification
  • Cloudy water
  • Drying of skin
  • Reduced effectiveness of chlorine

If the pH of your pool water is allowed to rise above or below these figures, it should be corrected with pH plus and minus.

What is calcium hardness?

Calcium Hardness, also often referred to as total hardness is the measure of how hard or soft the water is.  This varies depending on where you live and where your water source comes from.  The hardness of your water depends upon the amount of mineral salts that are dissolved in the water, with more salts creating harder water.  If the calcium hardness of your pools water is left to drop below 200mg/l then it is considered to be corrosive resulting in etching of surfaces, staining of the swimming pool shell and foaming of the water.  On the other hand, if the calcium hardness is left to raise above 275mg/l then scale formation will occur, accompanied by filter calcification, lower effectiveness of sanitizers which will result in cloudy water.  If the calcium hardness does alter from the desired levels, calcium hardness raises and stain and scale inhibitors can be added to the pool water to return it to normal.

Total Alkalinity

Total Alkalinity is the measurement of the waters ability to resist changes in the pH.  If the total alkalinity is low then pH can fluctuate making it difficult to control and maintain a desired level.  A raised level of total alkalinity can result in bicarbonate scale on pool surfaces, within pipe work and in all plant room equipment.  Total Alkalinity raisers and reducers can be added to your swimming pool water to bring it back to a desirable level.

Total Dissolved Solids

The total dissolved solids are the sum of everything that is dissolved in the water.  This includes all minerals, chemicals and debris.  The maximum recommended figure for total dissolved solids is 1,500mg/l.  Elevated levels of total dissolved solids can cause poor chemical efficiency and increase consumption accompanied with dull looking, salty water.  To bring elevated levels of total dissolved solids down, you can dilute the water by removing some of the old pool water and adding some fresh water accompanied by regular backwashing.

Chlorine Stabiliser

One of the major reasons for chlorine loss from a swimming pool is due to chlorine being drawn out of the water by UV rays from the sun.  With the addition of chlorine stabilisers to any outdoor pool in the summer, the amount of chlorine lost to sunlight will be significantly reduced.  The ideal chlorine stabiliser level is 60mg/l, and if it is left to drop below this figure, then tablets or granules will need to be added to increase it.  If the chlorine stabiliser level is left to increase above 200mg/l, then you will need to drain some of the pool water and then top it up again with fresh water to bring the level down.

Oxidise your swimming pool

Waste products can find their way into your swimming pool in a variety of ways but most commonly through rain water and swimmers.  All of these waste products will eventually build up and become a feeding source for bacteria and pathogens, making your pool water take on a cloudy appearance and most importantly turn unhealthy.  Chlorine will in turn react with these organic wastes to produce chloramines that can be irritating to the eyes and respiratory system and produce a foul odour.  By oxidising and shocking your swimming pool, you rid the water of these unwanted chloramines and wastes and make the pool water safe and more pleasant for bathers once again.

Chlorine Demand

Chlorine demand is the amount of chlorine that is required to destroy bacteria, algae and other unwanted organic waste products.  The only way to overcome chlorine demand is to keep shocking the pool until the chlorine dissipates.  It is a straight forward procedure but may need to be carried out over a few days depending on the level of demand.  To carry this out, keep shocking the pool until the chlorine remains above 5mg/l.  If it remains at this level for the following  few days, the pools craving for chlorine has been satisfied.  Regular oxidising of your swimming pool will pay you back in the long term in the prevention of pool water problems.

Algae Prevention

Algae are microscopic plant life that given the right conditions, will multiply rapidly turning your pool water an unpleasant green colour.  Trying to recover an algae infested pool can be very time consuming and expensive, so algae prevention is the key here.  To keep your swimming pool algae free, the BOAST system comes into play.  By maintaining the correct water balance, oxidise regularly to destroy any food source for the algae to flourish, apply algaecide to support the sanitiser, keep a consistent sanitiser level and test your water on a regular basis to ensure all is being maintained at desirable levels, you will be rewarded with an algae free pool.

There are now many products on the market which can control and eliminate algae infestations being applied weekly, monthly and even bi-annularly.

Sanitise your pool water

Sanitisers or disinfectants in the form of chlorine or bromine added to your pool will keep the water healthy by preventing and killing bacteria.

Chlorine

Chlorine is the most commonly used chemical in swimming pools to achieve satisfactory bacteriological and chemical purity in swimming pools.  It must be present in its free form to kill bacteria and pathogens and to oxidise organic matter.  If your water is correctly balanced, chlorine levels should be kept between 1.0 and 3.0mg/l to maintain clean and healthy water.  Chloramine levels should be of less than 0.5mg/l if your pool is being correctly treated.

The most common way of adding chlorine to your pool is in the form of granules but tablets and chlorine dispensers are also available on the market and the best option should be chosen for your swimming pool individually.

Bromine

Bromine is similar to chlorine in how effective it is as a sanitiser but does have some very distinct differences:

ŸPools that are sanitised with bromine do not require the addition of a chlorine stabiliser as bromine is not lost to sunlight in the way that chlorine is.

ŸBromine should be added to the pool via a chemical feeder which is usually installed in the plant room

ŸBromine combines with organic compounds in the same way that chlorine does but unlike the chloramines that are produced with chlorine, bromamines produce no smell with less risk of irritation to the skin, eyes and respiratory system.

ŸBromine retains better levels of efficiency over a wider pH band than chlorine.

ŸBromine levels need to be kept between 3.0 to 5mg/l, 2.2mg/l of bromine is needed to equal 1mg/l of chlorine.

Test your pool water

Testing your pool’s water has been considered the first discipline of pool water management but the BOAST system is a circle that leads onto balancing, oxidising, algae prevention and sanitising.

There are four methods of testing your swimming pool water which consists of testing strips, pool testers, comparator test kits and electronic test kits.  Whichever testing method you choose to use for your swimming pool, it is important that you test on a regular basis, every 2-3 days will suffice, with daily testing when the pool is being used on a more regular basis.

As previously mentioned, calcium hardness, total alkalinity, total dissolved solids and chlorine stabilisers also need to be tested and there are test kits available to test all of these yourself.  Another alternative is to take a water sample to your local swimming pool company and they should be able to carry out these tests for you.

As outlined in this article, swimming pool maintenance works in a circular formation with each area having a knock-on effect on the next.  Ensuring all areas are well maintained, you will be left with an inviting and safe pool to enjoy at your leisure.

 

For The Kids! Swimming Pool Games

By Pool Service No Comments

Time spent in the swimming pool during the summer months can be a great way to introduce children to the water whilst keeping them occupied.  Taking children for a swim may not prove sufficient enough to keep their attention for long enough so introducing games to your swimming sessions can be a successful alternative that will keep them entertained for hours.  Games played in the swimming pool can also be a great way to introduce children who are scared of the water to swimming lessons or to simply spice up a party.  If children are having fun, not only will it keep them entertained for a longer period of time but it will also provide them with a form of exercise that is healthier than sitting in front of the television all summer long.  Most modern games can be modified so that they can be played in the swimming pool; all that is needed is a little imagination.  Below are some of the most common games to be played in the swimming pool, so what are you waiting for?

Safety Note:

It is important that all games played in the swimming pool are supervised by an adult and preferably played in the shallow end.  Ensure all participants are aware of where the shallow and the deep end are.

Marco Polo

Marco polo is a fun game that both children and adults can get involved in.  Marco polo is a little like ‘you’re it’ that you used to play in the playground at school, just based in the water.  One person is designated as ‘it’ and is either blindfolded or has to keep their eyes closed (no peeking).  The person designated as ‘it’ shouts out the name ‘Marco’.  Everyone else involved in the game replies with the name ‘polo’.  By using their voices as hints to their whereabouts in the swimming pool, the designated ‘it’ goes after the other players.  Once someone else has been tagged they become ‘it’ and the game starts over again.  You can customise this game to use the names of two children instead of Marco and polo, just to make things a little more personal.

Underwater treasure hunt

To play this game, scatter toys or objects along the bottom of the swimming pool.  Ensure you only play this game in the shallow end where young children are concerned.  One object can stand out from the rest in being the ‘top prize’ and whoever collects this object will receive a gift.  When playing this game with small children it is advisable to use nets to collect the objects rather than to encourage the children to duck dive underwater.  On completion of the game the children can go away with some new toys and everyone is happy.

Water Polo

Even if you don’t have goals and a net handy you can still enjoy this game in the swimming pool.  This game is best played in the shallow end unless you fancy spicing it up a little and venturing into deeper water.  Set up 2 marked goals either end, this is often easier when playing width ways in the shallow end of the swimming pool.  All players are free to move within the water unless you are in contact of the ball at the time.  When you are in contact of the ball, you can either pass it to another player so they can score a goal or try to take a shot yourself.  This is a game you can make your own and rules can be set to suit the crowd.

Pool Volleyball

Pool volleyball is identical to volleyball played on the beach, just in water!  All that is needed to start off a game of pool volleyball is a ball, a net and 2 teams of equal numbers located on opposite sides of the net.  Just try to keep the ball in the air for as long as possible to start clocking in the points.

Shoulder Wars

To play this game, all players must be allocated into pairs with one being the ‘vehicle’ and the other being the ‘attacker’.  The attacker (best allocated to being the smaller or lighter of the 2) is to sit on the shoulders of the person playing the ‘vehicle’ and the idea of the game is to knock the other members off the shoulders of their partner.  The person at the bottom cannot use their hands or feet to affect the outcome of the game and caution must be taken so that the person who gets knocked into the water does not incur any injuries on the sides of the pool.  The last pair standing is the winner.

Relay Races

Relay races can be great fun and are perfect when faced with a mixed group of both adults and children.  With relay races you are faced with windows of opportunities and can create your own games in a matter of minutes.  How about moving a ball from one end of the pool to the other with your nose or riding on an inflatable toy to the other end of the pool?  The first team to complete the task for all members is the winner.  Obstacle courses can also be great fun and inflatable objects, hoops and dive sticks can all be used to make the game all the more interesting.

Basketball

Another land based game that can be modified to take place in the water.  Although you can’t bounce the ball on the floor, you could hold a shooting competition and see who makes the most shots.

Cannonball

Who can make the biggest splash? Another game suitable for both adults and children to play or compete against one another.  Whoever makes the biggest or most impressive splash wins!

2018 pool trends

By Pool Service No Comments

Some amazing 2018 pool trends that are happening are; fire features, more water features, knife-edge pools, glass tile, sloped entries and ledges, and LED lighting.

water features

Waterfalls and fountains are showing up more and more in pool designs. This includes being able to adjust the settings such as; water-flow, pressure and height settings. Some other water features people are requesting include fountain bubblers, water scones, and grottos behind waterfalls. Along with the additional water features are LED lighting for extra drama and functionality.

Fire Features

Want something to spice things up in your backyard? Add fire and water into your landscaping with really make it pop! Some new trends include adding fire bowls to pool designs; several small fire pits around the edge of the pool, into a decorative wall, volcano fire pits for tropical landscapes, cauldrons, and fire bowls. If you have the budget you can really take the fire features wherever your mind can wonder.

Knife-edge pools

Knife-edge pools, or Lautner knife-edge pools, slot-edge pools, wet edge pools, and perimeter pools are the type of pool that has water sitting at the same level as the pool deck and flows into a slot edge at the pool’s perimeter to create a mirror-surface effect. The knife-edge pools, found in more luxury pool applications, look similar to infinity pools and are more complicated. If you are wanting to have the knife-edge pool, make sure that your contractor knows and has experience in Lautner-edge pool construction.

Glass Tile

One of the hottest trends is using glass tile. There are a couple of ways to install the glass tile; install them in a band around the water line or use them to line the entire inside of the pool. Tile is often considered more durable than ceramic or porcelain and they come in a variety of styles, shapes, and sizes. When thinking about where to place the glass tiles, make sure to note that they are very slippery so placing them on walking surfaces may be dangerous.

Sloped Entries and Ledges

Sloped entry also known as beach entry or zero entry pools are growing in popularity. This kind of pool is designed where one or more of the pool’s sides gradually slope into the water, allowing swimmers to enter the pool slowly. Sometimes pool owners decide to do this to accommodate their children, elderly or disabled. Ledges or baja shelves are an alternative to beach entries or stairs. Ledges and shelves allow for a few lounge chairs for relaxation in the water without complete submersion.

Plastic or Wicker?

By Pool Service No Comments

Although at No Worries Pool Service we love create beautiful custom swimming pools, another element to your backyard that is just as important is what you choose for patio furniture to help bring out the best in your backyard.

There are many options for backyard furniture but we are going to discuss the difference between plastic patio furniture and wicker. It is important to choose quality, lasting furniture that can withstand outdoor elements. We will compare wicker and plastic below.

Plastic is the least expensive option when it comes to patio furniture. Some benefits of plastic furniture are: can be made from recycled materials, it is portable, washes easily, and chairs can be stacked for storage. There may not be very many options when it comes to looking the best and being able to last as long as other materials, although they do make weather resistant plastic patio furniture. It is important that if you purchase plastic patio furniture that you store it inside to keep it from pitting and fading, although higher end pieces tend to last longer without showing wear. Plastic furniture can be easily washed with soapy water and a scrubbing brush making it easy to maintain and care for.

Wicker can be natural or synthetic – giving an outdoor area a cozy, rustic look. Wicker is a woven wood that is durable, but lightweight. Wicker furniture can be made from cane, rattan, bamboo, and a number of other materials. When it comes to outdoor furniture, wicker is usually made from synthetics in order to increase durability and weather resistance. Although wicker can be bulky and costly, the use of synthetics has lowered the costs. When using wicker furniture outdoors, you can hose it off and it is meant to last outdoors. There are some benefits with choosing wicker, such as having a 20-year guarantee (depending on where you purchase).

We have given you two different, affordable, and easily maintained options for your backyard patio furniture. It is up to you to make the decision on what you are looking for.

Wood or Metal?

By Pool Service No Comments

We love building custom inground pools that last a lifetime. We also love helping you find what works best for your backyard. Last week we discussed different patio furniture; plastic and wicker, this week we will be discussing wood and metal.

When thinking about wood patio furniture, there are many different types of wood that can be used such as teak, pine, cedar, eucalyptus, and redwood. Hardwoods that can last up to 50 years and are more durable are teak, jarrah and shorea. Redwood and roble last up to 25 years. When you treat wood with special oils and sealants this helps increase their lifespan significantly.

There are also softwoods such as cedar and pressure treated pine that last for years outdoors as well. Why is pine pressure treated? This helps to keep the wood from rotting and water so that it lasts for up to 20 years. Untreated pine has low resistance to rot but it is recommended to paint, seal and be stored indoors during the winter months.

There are two common metals that are made in garden and patio furniture: wrought iron and aluminum. Each of them has their own strengths and weaknesses.

Wrought iron looks great in a formal or classic setting. This is a strong, durable material and furniture designs range from traditional to contemporary. There is no need to worry about this heavy metal blowing away easily; which makes this a great choice for windy environments. This type of metal does require some maintenance to prevent rusting and increase corrosion resistance, but it can be painted to create a different look. When looking into wrought iron it is important to be aware that it does tend to heat up and burn when in direct sunlight, also making it cold on cooler days. If you are looking for comfort without cushions, this would not be the best choice as it is not the most comfortable option. Using cushions with wrought iron is a great choice so that you do not have to worry about it being too hot or cold when sitting on it. If you care for wrought iron properly you can leave the furniture outdoors all year long.

One of the biggest benefits to using aluminum is that it will not fade or rust, especially when it is coated with a powder-coat finish. You will find that this kind of metal is used in more contemporary and streamlined designs. Benefits to using aluminum for your patio furniture include: it requires less maintenance, you can clean it with soapy water, they are corrosion resistant, and it is lighter and easier to move. Unfortunately using this is a more expensive material, higher end sets can be pricey.

We have discussed two additional options for patio furniture that are both beneficial in their own ways. Now have fun shopping around for the kind of furniture you are interested in!

10 Steps in Swimming Pool Construction

By Pool Service No Comments

Building an in ground swimming pool is a daunting task with numerous factors that you need to consider. This text can provide you with a quick understanding of the development cycle. And it all begins with, the will to own a pool on your own grounds.

Design & Engineering

The first place most owners seek for qualified swimming pool contractors is the native phone book, and by word of mouth from others who have designed a pool. Once in the initial planning stages, you may have your own plan for what you want your swimming pool to look like. The contractor or authority can give a style they think will work best and a bid for your acceptance. Once you come to an agreement, the contractor can acquire all necessary engineering from a certified structural engineer. The contractor can then submit for permits from the jurisdiction. Now, it is necessary for the contractor to put in for a Homeowners Association approval. Once the permit is obtained, the development kicks off in gear mechanism.

Layout & Excavation

This is amongst the most exciting phases of swimming pool construction, excavation. Excavation is the process, layout, style, and forming of the swimming pool. The very first thing the excavation crews do is the pre-grade. Pre-grade is the clearing and initial prep work for the pool. This enables the crew to colour on the bottom the ground and will better give you an idea of what the layout of your pool will look like. The standard time required to dig a pool depends on numerous factors. These factors include: overall size and depth, soil conditions, and access of the pool.

Rough Plumbing & Electrical

Once the pool is under construction, it is time to maneuver on to the plumbing and electrical. Sometimes, the plumbing & electrical are weakened by a very number of components, otherwise all trenching and installation of the pipes and conduits are done at a similar time. This includes installation of the suction and water lines, water-feature lines, appliance lines, fill lines, water return lines, gas lines for swimming pool heater and future barbecues and fire pits. In most cases this may take 2-3 days to complete, and will be done either before, throughout or once finished.

Tile & Rock

After the installation of the building material, the water line tile and any rock or boulders are put on your pool. The tile is critical to produce a simple surface to stay clean at the water line. Rock or boulders are extra to include a natural looking “swimming hole” look and feel. For pools with the up to date look or classic vogue, tile is incorporated into the planning and is applied not solely to the water line, however additionally to any raise walls or water-features.

Decking

With the tile put in, future additions to your swimming pool like decking may interest you. Where I grew up, decking was perpetually related to wood, and redwood was king. However after I got concerned within the swimming pool trade, decking has become more and more complex. For the bulk of swimming pool homeowners, the deck of choice is concrete. Concrete is sturdy and cheap compared to the opposite choices being, grass or landscaping, tile, stone, pavers and natural or artificial wood product. The installation of decking takes a minimum of a handful of days for forming and finishing. You may also need to add on a few days if you are planning on creating a custom pool house or even cabana. The reason for this is because your builder may need to subcontract out to companies like ABC Roofing for roofing and other construction.

Equipment Set

The excitement builds; you are virtually done and prepared to swim. The lights are put in, management panels are hooked-up, and all pumps, heater and filter are mounted to the instrumentality pad and measured. This ordinarily is habitually completed inside one to 2 days. All prepared for the filling of your pool with water. But wait, we’re missing the all vital pool surface.

Plaster

Plaster provides the waterproofing surface for your pool. Plaster comes in many alternative forms from plain-old, to stone and polished surfaces. Typically, this will be used daily.

Construction Clean-Up and Start-Up

Once the majority of the development is complete, all excess and left over materials should be far from the pool site. All empty boxes are hauled to the dumps, and eventually, your grounds are able to be enjoyed and not any sort of a disaster zone. The starting and testing method assures all components are working and therefore the swimming pool has all of the required chemicals to protect from different issues.

Common Styles of Pool Designs

By Pool Service No Comments

There is a spread of distinctive pool styles that go way on the far side the quality rectangular form. By together with a lot of happening pool style within the cartilage, it’s potential to make the lot of luxurious and engaging improved space. Here are four differing types of pool designs:

Infinite Edge Pools

A pool design seeing important will increase in quality includes the infinite edge pools. This kind of pool is intended to convey the looks of the surface stretching out into the gap. A really hanging look is achieved with those placed close to a dry land or seated on a side. Infinite edge pools associate with sides at completely different height to assist with making the optical phenomenon. To assist with catching the over spill of water, the pool incorporates a low-level catch basin to recycle the water heater into the pool.

Beach-Entry Pools

Another attention-grabbing design comes with the beach-entry pools. Instead of embrace steps or ladders, the look of those pools features a gradual sloping impact that drops down from the deck space. They a sensible selection for making the engaging landscape styles, and provide ease in getting into the pool for the terribly recent or terribly young swimmers.

Baja Steps

If area is not a problem, an athletic facility complete with Baja steps could be a sensible choice. Basically, the Baja step could be a giant spherical space that is proscribed to a couple of foot in-depth. This lets those getting into the athletic facility get pleasure from a shallow lounge with no need to require an entire plunge. They’re good to rest between finishing laps or to flee the mid-day heat while not having to travel for a full swim.

Waterfall and Fountains

An attractive feature to seem on a number of the newest pool designs includes the body of water and fountain. Each of those water options builds engaging parts to include into the pool style and native landscape. Several pools will embrace rock options with water jets or tiny effervescent fountains. A body of water or fountain feature is usually incorporated into the shallow finish of the pool to assist with making the water trickling impact.

Depending on the obtainable finances, the wide-ranging water options will seem on sure pre-fabricated models or associate with customized units. By researching the numerous completely different styles and styles within the athletic facility trade should not be tough to seek out a pool design that’s ready to match the precise desires of the swimmers and native landscape.
