Pool Cleaners Benowa

Most pools on the Gold Coast use a saltwater chlorinator to sanitise the pool. The conversion of salt to chlorine allows the chlorinator to ensure your pool remains both healthy and clean. Now, while we may not be gardeners, personal experience suggests that high levels of chlorine and concentrated amounts of salt will damage your lawn. Protecting your lawn from these dangers, though, is as simple as making sure the chlorine level of the pool remains within the recommended range, and that you're careful not to spill salt onto the grass when adding it to the pool.

Yes. The low voltage nature of these lights renders them safe to have in your pool. The power is passed through a transformer which reduces the voltage to a safe level (typically 12 volt). Here at Active Pool Supplies, we can supply you with a modern set of LED pool lights that have a variety of features, including changing colours and remote control. If you have questions about pool care in Benowa, contact the Active Pool Supplies team on (07) 5537 3341 today.

You should not rely on a pool cover to keep you or anyone else safe around the pool. The swimming pool safety laws of Australia clearly lay out a comprehensive list of safety requirements, including all necessary fencing that a pool will require. A pool cover will not stop accidents from occurring. You can speak to our teams at both Active Pool Supplies store, in Bundall or Runaway Bay, for help with all matters related to pool covers and pool safety on the Gold Coast - come in-store or call us today on (07) 5537 3341.

In order for your pool to be healthy and balanced, appropriate levels of sanitiser must be present. Chlorine is the most common tool for keeping your pool well maintained, as it can help you kill any small organisms, bacteria, or algae present within your pool water. There are several different ways of adding chlorine to the pool. Previously, chlorine was manually added by pool owners, requiring constant maintenance. Today, anyone with a Benowa pool is able to cut out the maintenance time with a filtration system fitted with a saltwater chlorinator. The chlorinator cell uses electrolysis to add salt to the pool water, creating a soluble hypochlorous gas that sanitises the pool water by removing algae and bacteria. For the chlorine to work effectively, the pool water must be balanced so that it remains at the optimal pH level. It's also important that you filter the pool water appropriately, and that you regularly remove dead algae and bacteria from the filter. Good water flow throughout the pool is helpful, as is periodic brushing/cleaning of the walls and floor of the pool to remove dirt, dust and other debris.

Owning a pool can be hard work, requiring constant maintenance and upkeep. Keeping the chemical balance of your pool well-maintained is a delicate process, and you should make sure you don't try to rush through it. Thankfully, Active Pool Supplies can help you understand the best practices for maintaining the chemical balance of your pools.

It's best if you avoid changing the chemical balance of your pool by large amount in single passes. Make smaller changes instead by using smaller amounts of chemicals in any one attempt. Once you have, you should leave them to rest with a running filter for a few hours, and then test the water. Using large amounts of chemical in a single pass deprives you of the ability to test the water repeatedly and stop once you've achieved perfection, which you can do after smaller changes. By adding large amounts of chemicals to your pool at once, it's possible that you'll make significant changes that will be difficult to correct. Don't make large changes to the chemical balance of your pool in a single pass if you're trying to keep it well-maintained.
