So much to get in one place for those who like to get out of the house and travel. Whether you are going cross country or just traveling around our great state, ther are many tips and options that you can discover at this show.
Like afternoon concerts, they are coming. Visit the Civic Space Park from 11:45 am -1 pm every Wednesday in February starting the 8th.
There are art expos and beer festivals to astronomy evenings the Renaissance Festival.
Being bored in Phoenix just isn't possible and our weather this time of year makes it easy to really enjoy. Take a moment - find something that you enjoy and go out and spend some time in our community.
Pop Up Chlorinator
During the months that your pool gets very little use, we don't tend to pay close attention to it's possible needs. One easy way to make sure that you pool keeps chlorine in it is a pop up chlorinator. These are designed to pop the "top" of the floating chlorinator up away from the base, showing you that the tablets have run low. A quick look out into the yard and you can see if the pool is in need of additional chlorine. These are also handy in the heat of the summer as a reminder to us that the pool uses much more chlorine in the hotter months. There is no question that the pool is in need of chlorine. Our lives are fast paced, each of us going in different directions with more and more we need to get done. These pop up chlorinators make it easy - with just a quick look you know. You don't have to go out and drag the floater to the side to see if it is full. If it is popped…fill it up!
Draining your pool
The cooler weather generally means that most of us tend to forget our pools, unless your pool is heated. Now is the time to have all of the major pool renovations that you have been waiting for done.
Since your pool is getting less usage - why not go ahead and drain it and have an acid wash or chlorine wash done. Draining your pool is something that needs to be done if you have high TDS (total dissolved solids) levels in your pool, or if your pool just doesn't seem to respond to chemicals as it has in the past. Heat can damage your plaster, that is why it is always best if you have to drain your pool to do so in the cooler months. While your pool is drained, it is the perfect time to clean up some of those stains and discolorations that are on your pools surface. Acid or chlorine washing your pool can't take care of all stains, but if your plaster surface is in good condition - it can certainly make for a cleaner brighter look.
Any questions on how to drain or do a cleansing wash on your pool, give us a call. We can come out and drain it and do an acid/chlorine wash. A do it yourselfer - you can rent a pump to drain your pool. Acid and chlorine washing your pool can be dangerous and can damage your pool if not done correctly. Please check with a pool professional before you try it yourself.
