There are a lot of things that go into maintaining a pool however so here are some answers to questions about chemicals and other Swimming Pool Supplies in Kansas City.
Q: The water has a white gross film floating on top of it. What is this?
A: This is called water mold. This forms when the pool is not balanced with enough chlorine. While the mold is not really harmful to people, it can be very distressing to look at and can also clog up the drains and other equipment. To get rid of this, take a brush to the sides and to the bottom of the pool. This will detach any mold growing on the surfaces. After this is done, add a dose of algicide and write down what the schedule of algicide application should be. Mold growth usually is an indicator of missed applications. After the algicide is applied, shock the pool with about three times the normal level of chlorine that is used. Let the filter circulate the water overnight and then clean the filter the next day.
Q: How is wall height measured when a liner needs to be replaced in an above-ground pool from Banks Blue Valley Pool & Spa Designs?
A: It depends on the liner. If the liner is beaded, it needs to be measured from the bottom of the wall to the bead receiver. If the liner is of the J hook variety, then the wall needs to be measured from the bottom of the steel wall to the top of the steel wall after the railing has been removed. Overlap liners do not need to measured as they can accommodate a range of measurements.
