Expert advice will always be offered by professional pool service centers in Orange County, but here are a few ideas to start the process of superchlorinating on your own.

 
A commercial swimming pool can be one of the best investments that a property owner or can possibly make, and a sparkling oasis may attract more residents to an apartment complex or a contemporary hotel tower than a commercial property without a water feature. However, we find travelers often judge a lot of how clean the hotel or apartment is by the condition the swimming pool or spa, and how well these are maintained. Often the in-house maintenance crew is not trained enough or equipped to handle such an endeavor as maintaining an Olympic-size pool or multiple water features on one property.

Many people, including pool our pool & spa maintenance experts from San Clemente and Villa Park often emphasize the reality of this situation. They stress that the a way to achieve better pool chemistry is by superchlorinating, which is actually boosting the pool's chlorine level to wage double or triple the normal war against the numerous obstacles standing boldly between you and your refreshing pool. Superchlorinating is not at all harmful to your pool liner or equipment, and it literally burns away the harmful contaminants that are living in your swimming pool.

Expert advice will always be offered by professional pool service centers in Orange County, but here are a few ideas to start the process of superchlorinating on your own. Be sure to take note, because this will be become a regular part of your pool maintenance routine.

Always set aside time to visit your favorite pool supply store in Orange County to purchase liquid or granular chlorine. You will also need a thick bucket to mix the chlorine before distribution.

When planning to super-chlorinate, the best time is at sundown. The sun and the heat can often burn off the chlorine, leaving less to clean the pool water.
Next, completely uncover the swimming pool and be sure to remove any floats, balls or other toys, including any forms of chemical automation. Do not leave anything whatsoever in the pool during superchlorination.

You will also want to clean the pool of any dirt or debris. Remember that anything left in the swimming pool can soak up the chlorine.

Before opening the bags or bottles of chlorine, make sure to read the instructions and use all of the product. Never keep an opened package of chlorine, as that it can be very hazardous.

Always check the water's pH level before you add chlorine. Superchlorination does not work well when the swimming pool's pH levels are too high. The ideal level is between 7.2 and 7.8.

Once the proper pH level is achieved, fill a bucket about 2/3 of the way with water, and then add the desired amount of chlorine, in accordance with your swimming pool's size. Remember to always add the chlorine to the water, and not the water to the chlorine. The average ratio is generally one pound for every 10,000 gallons of water, but if you have any questions regarding this equation, be sure to contact your Orange County commercial or residential pool maintenance center. Also remember to add the chlorine facing up wind, so that it does not blow into your face.

The next step is to turn on the pump, or if is on, ensure that it is still filtering, and spread the mixture into the pool, making sure to release more if the swimming pool has a deeper end. Be sure to also wipe or scrub the walls of the pool down with a pool brush, which you may purchase from an Orange County pool professional, or a regular household mop to allow the chlorine to mix in better and faster with the pool water.

Once you have mixed in all of the chlorine, always make certain to clean or dispose of any buckets or bags that may contain chlorine residue, as that it can be very dangerous. Do not put on a pool cover until the chlorine level has gone down.

Finally, always wait the suggested time before ever allowing anyone to enter the pool. It is also a good idea to leave the floats and toys out while the chlorine is hard at work.

Whether you are trying to remove bacteria from a heavily-used commercial pool with advice from apartment pool repair in Orange County, or you are preparing for a large gathering at the family swimming pool, superchlorinating your pool is an easy way to ensure that your water is at its premium level.
