Hot Pools And Bacteria
I just returned from a wonderful vacation at Yellowstone National Park. While there we visited the geysers, mud pots and other thermal features. (Plus saw many buffalo and elk.) It is truely amazing watching these natural features with their colorful pools. The hot temperatures of the water reminded me of the spas we sell here at Eastgate Pools. There are warnings posted throughout these areas in Yellowstone because in addition to the high temperatures the water in some cases is very acidic or contains harmful bacteria. So, I thought I would remind all of you the get your spa water checked for correct chemical balance. (Don’t want bacteria growing in your spa at home!) We at Eastgate offer free water testing – just bring in 8 oz. from your spa and we’ll help you! And if you ever have the opportunity – visit Yellowstone. It is unbelievable!
Changing Your Above Ground Pool’s Liner
Remember how nice your liner looked when it was new? Well you can return it to that look pretty easily and inexpensively if you do the labor yourself. Most pool installation specialists are busy installing complete pools at this time of the year so it is sometimes difficult to find someone to do the work and if you can, they are often pretty pricey during the summer. If you are going to have a pro do the work you might want to wait until the season slows down. But if you want to do the work yourself, it’s really not all that hard. We put complete directions on our web site for the do-it-yourselfer. Just go to Eastgatepools.com, click on the ‘tips’ toolbar, and go to the second item listed. Complete directions are right there. –Max
