Deep End Pools, has recently closed in the region of 85% of our customer base pools now, and we turn to how we best prepare these pools to ensure they are trouble free in the spring time gone are the days of close the pool and forget, as in the spring you could have a nasty surprise. If you are not currently using Deep End Pools for your winter servicing call us and we can advise you best on how your pool man should be caring for your pool in the winter.
So the pool is closed for the winter, winter cover is on system drained down or running on late night timer mode or frost stat that is right? No.
in October the last of the leaves fall, if left in the bottom this could stain your liner, all the pigments form the leaf could leach from the leaf in the cocktail of winter chemicals and cause a stain. So how do fix this?
Well simple remove the cover and either net the main of the leaves away or hire a professional to revac the pool floor.
Water level
we experience wetter periods more rain the pool will fill, diluting the swimming pool winter chemicals and rendering the winter close useless so re- measure the levels re evaluate the water clarity and add the chemicals as needed.
also keep an eye on the pool level in general surprisingly leaks can simply happen for no apparent reason in the winter months so a drop in level could be a sign of a problem call the swimming pool company in straight away, to investigate.
Equipment check
If you’re running a winter timer just to circulate the water please check the pump periodically for leaks and noise, and failure here going unnoticed could be costly if it goes wrong.
Surrounds
Once all the winds have calmed and leaves are down give your pool surround areas a good sweep and clean, keep the surrounds from becoming stained etc.
Ice
please be very careful working next to a partially empty swimming pool in those frosty icy conditions, one slip could be fatal especially if you have lowered the water level too low getting out could prove very difficult, bear this in mind for animals also!
Safety covers
The cover pump must be on! Always very difficult in frosty conditions as they do tend to freeze up and not pump any water so please keep your eye on the pump and ensure the water does clear once melted.
a few little tips and pointers there for Swimming pool Diy’er or tips to swimming pool engineers that don’t have the knowledge, get this wrong and you could cost you client some unwanted spend, in the spring.

Bucks, Berks, Oxon swimming pool winter services.
This is becoming slightly more alarming, to the swimming pool connoisseur but our experiences at the global swimming pool world trade show in Barcelona, had its own little china town section with many trade stands pitching for the sale of product to the swimming pool trade.
now let’s face it was is not built or made in china these days, however something’s we feel are best left alone.
many factors when choosing your swimming pool supplier may come into play, if budget is not one of them the likelihood is the you will receive good product of decent merchantable quality because let’s face it, if the manufacturers have cut their costs in production it usually means they have also cut the quality.
Whilst at the show in Barcelona we met Chinese distributors selling items from Chemicals to Heaters and pool cleaning equipment, so how do you tell what is what? well very difficult we always advise to stick with a good swimming pool chemical brand like Plastica, Bayrol, Arch chemicals, Fi-CLor its pretty much a given this product is good, net brushes poles well this we deem a kind of a swimming pool consumable so if these were Chinese sourced it’s not too much of a problem as their replacement cost is fairly low.
But at the same time the pool maintenance equipment produced by Certikin some years ago is still out there in the field to date, so buy cheap buy twice.
but pumps filters heaters this is slightly more alarming to Deep End Pools, ok there are a handful of importers and distributors of certikin Chinese pumps and filters that put their equipment through religious testing Pro copi uk being one of them with their Fairland heat pump being one product,
however one conversation with a Chinese distributor alarmed me when he mentioned he had to install 4 heat pumps on a average 30 x 15 pool mainly to hold the heat however the second reason if you get one unit breakdown you have 3 in standby! Wow pretty scary needless to say we walked however observed the product for recollection in the forth coming swimming pool season of 2010.
all it takes is an ask, prior to any purchase of a costly swimming pool pump, filter or heater ask where its coming from and who is supporting it, get a warranty get covered. We hope this insight review may help you.

Deep End Pools were lucky enough to make the trip to the bi-annual Piscina BCN Internal swimming Pool Exhibition in Barcelona, Spain. The Exhibition is getting a reputation of being the world’s leading swimming pool exhibition. There were exhibiters from USA, South Africa, Australia, Italy, France, Belgium, China, Japan, Germany, Holland, England and Spain to name just a few. Each display stand had been planned and designed months before the show even opened its doors.
All of the big names such as Astral, Certikin, Kripsol, Kennet Water Components, AquaChek, Arch Chemicals, SCP, Bowman, Calorex, Fairlocks, Tylo, Waterco and Shezhen Z.S.H. Industry Company Limited were there in force with some stands as big as shopping centres. All of the stands had full demo displays of their latest and most efficient new products.
The show was held at the world renowned Fira de Barcelona in 2 of its 7 halls. The final count was just over 350 different companies on display.
The products on display were a range of swimming pool pumps, swimming pool filters, swimming pool chemicals, swimming pool heaters and a range of swimming pool building techniques to name but a few.
The show should have given us some sort on indication of what SPATEX’s 2010 will have to offer the UK pool industry for the summer 2010 season.

UV or (Ultra violet) disinfection of water consists of a purely physical, chemical-free process. UV-C radiation in particular, with a wavelength in the 240 to 280 nanometers range, attacks the vital DNA of the bacteria directly. The radiation initiates a photochemical reaction that destroys the genetic information contained in the DNA. The bacteria lose their reproductive capability and are destroyed. Even parasites such as Cryptosporidia, which are extremely resistant to chemical disinfectants, are efficiently reduced. UV can also be used to remove chlorine and chlormaine species from water; this process is called photolysis, and requires a higher dose than normal disinfection.
We are getting more and more demand for sanitization methods that reduce the need for chlorine and intern make for a better swimming experience.

The smell of chlorine in a pool is usually accompanied by irritation to the eyes, nose, lungs and skin of the swimmers. The pool smell is not due to chlorine but to chloramines, chemical compounds that build up in pool water when there is not enough free chlorine.
Chloramines are the result of two ingredients:
· chlorine and
· sweat, oils or urine that are brought into the pool by the swimmers.
Chlorine disinfectants are added to pool water to destroy germs that can cause illness. Sweat, oils and urine are unwanted additions to pool water. Showering before swimming can help minimize the formation of chloramines and the smelly pool.
The Chemistry of Chloramines
When chlorine disinfectants are added to water, two chemicals are formed: hypochlorous acid and hypochlorite ion. Hypochlorous acid is known as “free available chlorine” or FAC and has the potential to destroy waterborne germs. Pool owners should manage the FAC level of pool water for the safety of swimmers. Free available chlorine is reduced when it reacts with swimmer waste to form these smelly chloramines.
Minimizing Chloramine Smells
Swimmers with red, irritated eyes complain that there is too much chlorine in the pool. When pool water is irritating, there is almost always not enough free chlorine in the pool water.
Chloramines, which produce the typical pool smell, can be destroyed using chlorine or non-chlorine shocks. A shock treatment destroys the ammonia and organic compounds that combine with chlorine to make chloramines.
