Swimming pool draining

In the Phoenix area, as well as surrounding cities, it is recommended to have your pool drained every 2-3 years.

This is due to mineral build up. As the Arizona heat evaporates your pool water, which can be an entire swimming pool worth each year, all the minerals stay behind and "build-up", causing water hardness. This is what leads to unsightly water lines around your pool tiles.

Ideal range for water hardness - 200-400 ppm.

Aside from calcium build-up, there are other reasons as to why your pool should be drained every 2-3 years.

- Cyanuric Acid Levels
- TDS

Cyanuric Acid (pool conditioner or stabilizer) is what protects the chlorine in the water from the harmful uv rays. Without conditioner, your pool will go through an entire weeks worth of chlorine within just one day. Think of it as sunscreen for your chlorine!

Ideal range for cyanuric acid - 50 - 80 ppm

So what's the big deal? Well cyanuric acid does not decompose, and when the levels get too high, your chlorine will become over conditioned and not able to do it's job. We call this "Chlorine Lock".chlorine tabs

How do cyanuric acid levels get too high?

Chlorine tabs! Chlorine tabs have stabilizer in them so over time the cyanuric acid levels will rise.

Total Dissolved Solids (TDS). This is a measurement of everything in your pool water such as minerals, dirt, sun tan lotion, cyanurates, chlorides, etc. When these levels get too high your chlorine will be working overtime.
