If you own a residential or commercial property with a pool, it is advisable to maintain the appropriate alkaline levels. A decrease in alkalinity means acid levels are high and often results in corrosion of pool equipment, etching on surfaces, and irritation on swimmers’ eyes, nose, and skin. In addition, if alkaline levels are too high, it can cause scaling on your plumbing equipment and pool’s surfaces, not to mention clouding the pool.
At Pool Demolition of Dallas, we can help you eliminate damaged pools, leaving behind stable ground you can build. While a swimming pool is a valuable addition to any property, you need proper maintenance to avoid low alkalinity and the subsequent effects. We recommend scheduling routine inspections to ensure the water is safe, but if you want more space in your yard, you can hire us for pool demolition services.
High pH – What to Do
High pH is when your pool exceeds 7.8 on the pH scale, rendering your pool water too soft for swimmers. Prolonged exposure to such water can lead to consequences, hence the need to hire a professional for routine inspections. Several factors, including a sudden increase in temperature and additional chlorine stabilizers, can cause high pH. In addition, high pH increases the risk of infection because the chlorine in the water can’t disinfect thoroughly. There are also physical consequences for swimmers, such as dry skin, red, irritable eyes, and premature wearing of bathing suits and goggles.
PH is the most dynamic factor in your swimming pool water, as everything that enters your pool will affect it. If the pool’s pH is too high, you may need to add a chemical to decrease it. However, pool demolition is a viable option if maintenance is taking a massive chunk of your finances. You don’t have to spend more on a pool you barely use; we are a reputable pool demolition service in Dallas, TX, ready to restore your yard.
Low pH – What to Do
Low pH is not ideal for swimmers and your wallet. Acidic water is corrosive and leads to instant eye, nose, and skin irritation. If your pool water is below five on the pH scale, it is considered acidic and a health hazard. In addition, acidic water corrodes metallic surfaces, including accessories like railings, ladders, light fixtures, and metal in your heaters, filters, and pumps. Low pH causes etching and deterioration of grout, plaster, concrete, stone, and tiling. Vinyl surfaces also become brittle, increasing the risk of cracks.
Low pH decreases the amount of working chlorine, leading to algae and bacteria buildup. Maintaining a pool can be daunting, costly, and time-consuming, hence the need to work with a professional pool service. However, you don’t have to incur maintenance costs if your pool limits yard space. We leverage standard-industry equipment and expertise, restoring your property to pre-construction conditions.
