Health Tip from your Houston Pool Builder

Posted on: March 23, 2012

Studies show that regular physical activity can help strengthen bones, tone muscles, relieve depression and improve sleep. You should aim for 30 – 60 minutes of activity at least 5 times a week. One of the best activities is to swim laps in your pool. Swimming works your arms, legs, back and stomach muscles. Swimming is easy on your joint and when performed correctly, can improve breathing. Have fun and stay healthy! For more health tips from your Houston Pool Builder, check us out on Faceboo

Staining of Pool Surfaces could mean there is Metal in your pool water

Posted on: October 13, 2011

You may have metal in your pool water and not even be aware it. Even the smallest amount of metal can cause staining of the pool surface. Metal stains take on the characteristics of the metal. Since they have no texture, they do not brush off, at least not easily. Here are some examples of metal staining and the characteristics of each. * Copper – green, turquoise, gray or black color stain *Iron – brownish, rust color stain *Manganese – dark brown, black or purple color stain.

Water Safety

Posted on: May 11, 2011

May is water safety month! Here are some general safety tips: Watch out for the “dangerous too’s” – too tired, too cold, too much sun, too much strenuous activity. Use plastic instead of glassware around the pool. Watch the weather, especially when lightning is present. ALWAYS supervise children when they are in or around the pool. Enjoy your pool and be safety conscious.

Posted on: May 2, 2011

Don’t let balancing your pool water intimidate you! Keep it simple! Always remember to test your PH and Alkalinity first, adjust them, and then test your Chlorine. If your PH and Alkalinity are not balanced, your Chlorine reading will be off. Another good practice to follow is to always “use less”. Example: if after testing your water you have determined that 2lbs. of shock is required, add only 1lb. and retest a couple of hours later. Remember you can always add more but you can’t take too

Just a quick reminder – when adding tablets to your free standing or inline chlorinator, follow these steps – first make sure all equipment is turned off, then unscrew the lid slowly and turn your head away from the opening (the water inside is highly chlorinated and gives off a very strong odor), next drop in the tablets and screw the lid back on tightly. Turn your equipment back on and check for any leaks. Now you’re ready to enjoy the pool!

We hope everyone is enjoying this great weather. More and more people are getting their pools ‘in shape” for the upcoming season. A quick safety tip about diving in a residential pool – Most backyard pools are not designed for diving and everyone using the pool should be cautioned about that. Backyard pools are normally not deep enough to allow diving and serious head and neck injuries can occur. Please inform family and friends about this concern so that you may continue to enjoy your backyard
