Why Pool Shock Treatment is needed….
You should use a pool shock treatment every 2-weeks. Or after a heavy day of raining or when many people swimming in your pool. Why should you? Even when you check your chlorine levels on a regular basis.. and their fine. Well regularly adding chlorine to a pool is part of maintaining your water chemistry. The chlorine attaches to all the bacteria and all other molecular organic matter and neutralizes it. After the chlorine becomes combined with the bacteria it becomes inactive. When this happens its called “combined chlorine” This inactive chlorine needs to be removed, and that is done by shocking your pool.

Stocking up on Your Above Ground Pool Supplies
Swim Season is around the corner. We just had a past weekend of really warm weather in the Northeast. I woke up on Sunday morning, and it’s like the tree leaves popped out overnight. It was just amazing. The swim bug is in us now. Time to open up the pool and time to purchase my Above Ground Pool Supplies.
A lot of people wait last minute to stock up, but I do not. I purchase all of my Above Ground Pool Supplies well in advance of the season, so if I do forget anything, I will have ample time to order before we start swimming. A lot of people wait until Memorial Day to open up their pools, but not us. We open up our pool in early to mid May each year.
