Frequently Asked Questions
How often should I test pool water in summer?
Test chlorine and pH at least 2-3 times per week during summer. After pool parties, storms, or extreme heat, test and adjust immediately.
Why does my pool turn cloudy in summer?
Summer cloudiness is usually caused by insufficient chlorine (consumed faster in heat/UV), high bather load introducing contaminants, or inadequate filtration runtime.
How do I reduce pool water evaporation?
Use a liquid solar cover or pool cover when not swimming. Run waterfalls and fountains less during peak heat. Maintain proper water level with an auto-fill device.
