Pool opening 2008-02-25 10:14:29 With the unseasonably warm weather this week, perhaps it time to start thinking about routine Spring maintenance. It never hurts to start early so those inevitable surprises cannot delay planned pool opening.
My initial checks include:
inspect pool tiles, surroundings and gutters for signs of ice or freeze damage;
check pump room for pipe leaks or leaky [...]

Swimming pool measurement 2008-02-23 18:59:35 I received a few emails about the post I did on calculating pool volume. The question posed was, “how can you measure the pool easily?” especially in the cold, wet weather.
The most common way to measure a pool is with a measuring tape, but nowadays we use a digital laser rangefinder. It can measure up [...] Read more:Swimming
Pool care in winter 2008-02-22 18:34:25 During the cold winter
months pool water tends to stay clear with very little help. Generally algae does not appear and I hardly ever see a pool turn green. Any algae growth that does occur is extremely slow.
Of course winterizing is ideal, but many of our pools are not winterized. To these we add an [...]
After the thaw 2008-02-21 17:22:39 All the lovely snow has melted, adding valuable water to the the ground water table and the lakes nearby.
A quick tour of nearby pools showed no sign of snow of freeze damage and everything appears to be in great shape.
The extra precipitation with the snow also means more water for filling our pools this summer. [...]
Swimming pool freeze 2008-02-17 13:17:56 The latest snowfall has turned the world around us into a winter wonderland. There hasn’t been that much snow, but just enough to make everything look white and “clean”.
The pool water is real green, which is normal for our pools during the winter. I would much prefer that they were winterized, but I suppose we [...] Read more:Swimming
Calculate pool volume 2008-02-14 15:12:26 Whenever you get pool supplies, the instructions say x ounces per 1,000 gallons or something similar. So how many gallons of water does my swimming pool hold?
There are a lot of sites on the internet that tell you how to work out your pool volume. These easy to use pool volume calculators from the Pool [...]
Concrete pool building 2008-02-13 17:27:39 The cooler winter months are ideal for building concrete pools. The concrete cures perfectly without risk of drying out. This is a pool we have recently begun. This picture was taken while the rebar was being laid out prior to the plumbing and PVC piping.
The next photo was taken while pouring the concrete. The [...]
Brittle PVC pipe fixtures 2008-02-12 16:41:31 Once again we had a battle with a Baker Hydro sand filter leaking from the threaded adaptor at the bulkhead. We get called out for the same filter problem several times a year despite the relative rarity of Baker Hydro filters.
The walls of the adapter are made paper thin to accomodate a sunken o-ring and [...]
Drought in Georgia 2008-02-11 17:48:49 Citizens of North Georgia
have been anticipating a dry summer and empty swimming pools. The Governor’s office, among much speculation, had ruled that pool owners would not be given permission to use the State’s precious water resources for filling their pools.
A recent announcement has helped to allay some fears:
Citing risks to public health and [...] Read more:Drought
