Should you consider a salt chlorine generator?

If you operate a saltwater pool that has a high-level of use by children and people sensitive to chlorine, then you should definitely consider getting a salt chlorine generator. It converts salt to chlorine gradually, which make the chemical less harsh.

What are some tips for maintaining pH balance in indoor pools?

Test to see where your pool's pH level is. On the pH scale (which goes from 0 to 14), 7 is considered neutral. Check the pool’s alkalinity, as keeping these levels between 100 and 150 ppm will help the pH level. Use the proper pH balancers to get the level to where it needs to be. Generally, pH levels should be tested at least twice a week.

How can you make your pool accessible, well-lit and safe to reduce liability?

Always keep an eye out for potential hazards and ways to make your commercial pool safer and more accessible. Consider adding a pool lift to help those who need a hand getting into the water. You can never have too much lighting in and around your pool. Proper pool lighting is a great tool to ensure everyone stays safe.

What are some benefits to using controllers, such as the Hayward controller with Gold sensor?

Using a controller for your pool is like having a dedicated employee keep a constant eye on your pool’s maintenance. It runs an analysis to alert you of any waterborne pathogens, such as E. coli. It's also compatible with your existing chemical feed equipment and ensures the water’s chemistry is properly maintained. It’s an extra level of security for you and your patrons.
