Having Pool Issues After the Fourth, But You Aren’t Sure Why?
The Fourth of July may be over, and everyone had a wonderful time at your pool party. But you may be left with water that’s a little out of control.
Are you having pool issues after the Fourth, but you aren’t quite sure why? There are several reasons you may be having water care problems, and we look at them here.
You Have Fireworks Ash in Your Pool
Even if you weren’t shooting fireworks at your house, debris such as ash can travel many miles. So, even if you didn’t have fireworks in your driveway, you may need to clean up your pool anyway.
If firework debris gets into your pool (whether you can see it or not), it needs to be vacuumed out or filtered out. What’s more, the chemicals in the ash can cause problems in your pool. For example, you might see your pH rise, which isn’t good for your pool.
So, filter and vacuum your pool, test the water, and then treat it appropriately. Don’t take any shortcuts here if you want to clean up your pool water.
It’s also a good idea to hose down your pool deck with your garden hose. This will keep swimmers from tracking in debris and ash.
Even if your pool looks clean, remember that ash can travel. You do want to test your water for phosphates and nitrates. You can’t see them, but they will cause issues with your pool chemistry.
