Pool Draining

Oftentimes, cleaning your pool by draining it is a last resort for many people. Draining your pool is essential when you begin to notice a lot of dirt in your pool or algae stains that are not going away. Sometimes your pool is so degraded that there is simply no other option but to drain it, in order for it to return it to its sparkling condition and to make it healthy once again for you and your family when you want to take a dip.

Many people drain their pools due to high calcium levels in the pool or metal staining that won’t go away. However, only pool professionals must carry out pool draining, and Happy Jack’s can get your pool looking its best once again with our pool draining services. Our technicians would be glad to check out your pool to see how suitable it is for this cleaning process.

How often should a pool be drained? On average, you should consider draining your pool every 3-5 years. A major repair may be cause for draining your pool as well.

What is the cost of draining and cleaning a pool? It depends on the size, complexity, and type of the pool. The cost of draining an above-ground pool is different from an inground pool. If you are having your pool cleaned at the same time it is being, you will spend more than if you are draining only but there will be less downtime than if you completed these two tasks separately.

Acid Wash

If the bottom of your pool is quite dirty and there are stains, draining your pool just won’t cut it. In this scenario it is important to also acid wash the pool to remove the stains caused by stagnant water, algae, and several other factors. Our team of professionals is here to offer top-quality pool services at any time. We ensure that our customers are wholly satisfied with our services at the end of the process.

Acid washing is safe, but only when a professional pool technician like Happy Jack completes the acid wash of your pool. After the acid is applied, it is completely removed by brushing and rinsing all surfaces. After the acid wash is complete, your pool is refilled, and pool owners can comfortably make use of the pool once again. However, acid washing a pool all the time can damage the finish, so it is advised that you only acid wash your pool as deemed necessary by a pool professional.

What is the interval of acid washing my pool? It depends on the care you give to the pool. Ideally, a pool doesn’t need to be acid washed yearly. Maybe, once in three years is good because frequent washing will remove some layers of the pool.

Calcium Line Removal

As a pool owner, you conscientiously care for your pool so that it is healthy enough whenever you want to take a dip. However, there will be times when you start to notice discoloration around your pool’s water line. This line, which often appears at the water line and is white in color, is evidence that you have a calcium deposit in your pool that needs to be removed.

This calcium deposit is usually caused by hard water and heat. These factors, combined with the chemicals in your pool, build up to form a calcium deposit in your pool. Happy Jack to the rescue as we provide a calcium line removal service to pool owners. Calcium line removal is diligently carried out using the tools necessary to clear your pool of calcium scale that has been deposited. It will make your pool look new once again and safer for you.

How do I remove calcium carbonate deposits from my pool? To remove calcium from your pool yourself, you’ll need stain remover and pumice stone. While pumice stone is ideal for concrete, or tile, or simply any hard surface, stain remover is perfect for non-hard surfaces.

Can I swim in a pool with high calcium? We do not recommend this as it is not safe, healthy, or hygienic. Calcium scaling stays on the pool’s walls and that can cause great eye or skin irritation.

Green to Clean

Another service that is needed to maintain your pool is the Green to clean services; this is a better option than draining your pool. Algae and an imbalance of chemicals are what make a pool turn green. Algae can grow freely in pools with low chlorine, which is why is it important for Happy Jack to fill your pool with chlorine when carrying out Green to Clean service, to avoid the algae coming back and causing your pool to turn green once again.

Our Green to Clean service is a great option during summertime when pool draining is simply not an option because the high temperature can damage an empty pool’s plaster. Happy Jack can have your pool sparkling in a day and fix your green pool in no time at all. Our pool technicians are available to provide Green to Clean services, and when this is done, the pool is shocked with chlorine to ensure the Green doesn’t come back again.

Is baking soda good to clean a green pool? Using baking soda alone won’t resolve your green pool issues. To kill the algae forming inside your pool, you’ll need algaecide, super-chlorinate, and baking soda.
