Filter Cleaning & Repair

Filter cleaning is imperative to the smooth operation of your pool system.  Everything works hand in hand.  When one vital component is out of wack, the entire system suffers.  The filter facilitates a healthy water environment, efficient equipment operation, optimal energy efficiency and it also extends the lifespan of your pump and pool filtration system.  Ultimately, filter cleaning and repair keeps you from having to come out of pocket for major upgrades, repairs and replacements.  Swimming pools are like babies.  They need constant monitoring and coaxing.  When you neglect your pool, you’ll have to deal with a little monster later.

The Purpose Of Filter Cleaning And Repair
Healthy filters remove dirt, debris, calcium and oils from your pool.  Dirt isn’t always visible to the eye, but a good filter will remove visible and invisible dirt.  Visual stimulation is a major part of pool enjoyment.  Even if the chemical levels are not balanced, bathers are inspired by an aesthetically pleasing pool.  If it is filled with debris you definitely won’t be inspired to go for a swim.  Calcium build up will destroy your pool.  All that money goes down the drain if your calcium hardness levels are not balanced.  Oils are natural in our skin plus the additional oils added for moisturizing and sun tanning will wreak havoc on your filtration system. 

How A Dirty Pool Can Effect Your Health Part 1
This is the part where we scare you into action.  We don’t mean to frighten you . . . actually we do because the bacteria and diseases carried in dirty pools is real.  This is why we are so diligent in maintaining all levels on a weekly basis.  People with compromised immune systems will especially benefit from a well cleaned and chemically balanced pool.  Ever heard of E.Coli?  It sounds like some type of foreign bacteria only contracted in a third world country.  The reality is that it can live and breed right in your Arizona pool.  This bacteria is indicative of fecal matter.  It can be avoided simply by bathing before entering.  As you know, most people don’t follow that rule and the rest of us are left to deal with the effects.

Hepatitis A is a liver disease.  If chlorine levels are not right, this virus will linger in pools and ultimately cause liver failure.  No one thinks about this before cannon balling into the deep end.  Fortunately they won’t have to because you’ve got Mesa Pool Cleaning Services on your side.  Ever play Marco Polo in the pool and swallow a mouth full of water mistakenly?  We all have not knowing that Giardiasis could have been contracted.  This disease causes abdominal cramps, diarrhea and weight loss.  So much for fun in the sun. 

How A Dirty Pool Can Effect Your Health Part 3
We could go on and on about the diseases, viruses and bacteria lingering in dirty pool water, but we won’t.  Instead we’d like to focus on a properly chlorinated pool.  Ever get into a pool that had a strong chlorine smell?  You may have felt it was a bit too much but the chlorine scent made you feel somehow protected.  That smell is actually the result of chlorine, urine and sweat mixing together.  A clean and healthy pool should not carry any scent.  Think about this the next time your pool smells over chlorinated.
