Summer is almost here!  Abundant sunshine and mild nights make any time a good time to take a dip in your pool.  Laguna Beach weather looks like it is going to be perfect for pool time.  But did you know that the same weather we love so much can have an impact on your pool?  Beachside Pool Service, the premier Laguna Beach pool service explains how weather affects your swimming pool maintenance needs.

Evaporation Rates and Weather

Sunny days and windy days can both increase normal rates of evaporation. Sunny days can warm the water.  Water evaporates faster as it gets warmer.  Warm, dry wind also increases evaporation rates.  If the air is not saturated with humidity, it is able to hold more water from evaporation.  That means more water in the air and less water in your pool.

Your Laguna Beach pool service company should be keeping an eye on your pool water levels when the weather is warm, sunny, and features a persistent light wind. If pool water levels drop too low, water can’t properly recirculate to be cleaned and filtered.  While mid-tile is considered the optimal water level, the water level should allow your skimmer and drains to work effectively. Beachside Pool Service can instill autofill devices so you never have to worry about your pool levels dropping to harmful levels. Beachside can also add a liquid pool cover to reduce evaporation loss.

Sunlight and Chlorination Levels

Of course as water evaporates, it affects the levels of sanitizer available.  In addition, the ultraviolet light found in sunshine also has an affect on your pool water chemistry.  The higher the ultra violet light exposure, the faster chlorine is depleted.  Even if you are using a salt chlorination system, ultraviolet light can be a problem.  In salt water pools, the sunlight will cause the chlorine to revert back to salt more rapidly.

Make sure your Laguna Beach swimming pool maintenance company regularly checks the chlorine levels when they check water chemistry.

Beachside Pool Service can add a stabilizer (like cyanuric acid) to protect your chlorine.  When you go out in the sun you wear sunblock for UV light protection, conditioner is like sunblock for your pool water.  This powder protects and stabilizes the chlorine in your pool.

Sunlight breaks chlorine down quicker and warms the water.  This is the perfect environment for algae growth.  Algaecide can not only kill algae, but it can keep it from getting started if the chlorine levels have dropped.
