Pool Cleaners Merrimac

Many Gold Coast pools use a saltwater chlorinate to keep the pool sanitised. In brief, your pool is kept clean and healthy by the salt that this chlorinator converts to chlorine. As a result, your pool water will contain concentrated amounts of salt and high levels of chlorine, and while our team doesn't have any gardeners onboard, we've seen the damage that can do to lawns. Avoiding spilling salt onto your lawn and keeping the pool's chlorine levels in check is the easiest way to protect your lawn from this damage.

They are. Because pool lights are low voltage, they are safe to include in your pool. These lights use about 12 volts of power thanks a transformer, which is used to reduce the voltage to a safe level. We can help you find modern pool lights that utilise LEDs to allow for a variety of features, such as remote control or colour-changing functionality.

If you want to keep yourself or anyone else safe around your pool, you shouldn't rely on a pool cover to get the job done. In Australia, our swimming pool safety laws are very clear around safety matters, including the need for fencing. It takes more than a pool cover to stop accidents from occurring. Here at Active Pool Supplies, our Bundall and Runaway Bay stores can help you answer any questions you may have about pool covers or pool safety in the Gold Coast, and you're welcome to either visit us in-store or reach out to us at (07) 5537 3341.

You need the right levels of sanitiser in your pool to keep the water healthy and balanced. Generally, you'd want to use chlorine to achieve this, as the chemical can destroy algae, bacteria, and a variety of small organisms that might be living in your pool. Chlorinating your pool can be done in a number of different ways. Manually chlorinating your pool on a regular basis was a common option in the past. Today, anyone with a Merrimac pool is able to cut out the maintenance time with a filtration system fitted with a saltwater chlorinator. Electrolysis is used to create a soluble hypochlorous gas by adding salt to pool water as it passes through the chlorinator cell, and this gas is used as the sanitising agent that removes bacteria and algae from your pool. You'll need to keep your pool water well balanced to ensure the chlorine is able to work effectively. It's also important that you filter the pool water appropriately, and that you regularly remove dead algae and bacteria from the filter. Your pool will also benefit from good water flow and routine brushing of the walls and floor of the pool to remove debris, dirt, and dust.

For pool owners, there is a constant challenge of pool upkeep and maintenance to ensure the pool remains as functional as possible. Consequentially, it's normal for homeowners to want to speed up the process of pool upkeep wherever they can, but that doesn't mean you'll be able to cut corners when it comes to keeping the chemical balance of your pool maintained. Active Pool Supplies are the experts in all matters related to pools, and can help you make sure you're maintaining the chemical balance in your pool in the best ways possible.

It's best if you avoid changing the chemical balance of your pool by large amount in single passes. Rather, only make small changes by using smaller amounts of chemicals. After these changes have been made, test the water once you've left it to rest for a few hours with the filter running. 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. It's possible that by adding large amounts of chemical in a single pass, you'll find yourself having made a large change that will be hard 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.
