Doral and Miami Pool Services owners often assume that keeping the water clear and adding disinfecting chemicals is all it takes to keep a pool running properly. In reality, it’s more involved than that. A pool can look spotless on the surface and still pose health risks to your family. Here are the key factors we monitor to keep your pool genuinely safe.

Pool Service – Factors to Consider

pH. This measures how acidic or alkaline your water is, on a scale of zero to fourteen, with 7 being neutral. When pH drifts out of balance, swimmers can experience eye irritation and itchy skin, and chlorine’s sanitizing power drops. Heavy pool use, rainfall, and chemical buildup are the usual culprits.

Total Alkalinity. TA tracks the hydroxide, bicarbonate, and carbonate levels in your water. Low TA can erode your pool’s surface over time, and an imbalance here can also trigger pH bounce whenever chemicals are added.

Total Dissolved Solids (TDS). TDS reflects the soluble substances present in your water, measured through electrical conductivity. High TDS levels can lead to hard water, scaling, off-tasting water, and staining on your pool’s walls and floor.

Saturation Index. This tells us how corrosive or scale-forming your water is. Over-saturated water eats away at surfaces, plumbing, and grouting, while under-saturated water deposits excess calcium and minerals onto pool surfaces.

Physical Factors That Can Affect Your Pool

• Plaster that discolors, roughens, or cracks with age
• Deck-o-seal joints around tile and deck coping breaking down from lack of care
• Leaks that can damage your pool’s motor
