THE BIG PICTURE OF PERFECT WATER CHEMISTRY: The quest for proper water chemistry really does differ on a case-by-case basis. All of the information provided within the text of poolmanual.com will assist you in achieving and maintaining proper water chemistry and the resulting clean, clear, blue, and sparkling water. But, as a pool owner, you have to be aware of the numerous variables that play a role in deterring water chemistry, such as climate (temperature, humidity, intensity of sunlight, and the amount of rainfall or wind, as well as evaporation), water sources, bather load (extent of use of your pool), and proximity to sources for dirt, debris or algae spores, such as nearby construction zones or heavily wooded areas, as well as gardening, lawn mowing or landscaping in your own backyard, to name a few. These variables differ from region to region, and many times, from pool to pool. Awareness of these variables is still not enough. You also have to be able to adjust to these variables.

Achieving and maintaining proper water chemistry on a continual basis is about as easy as golfing well on a continual basis. It takes time and effort. Remember, it takes far less time and effort, as well as money, to maintain a pool and prevent potential problems than it does to rectify actual problems. Follow our advice, and follow the advice of your local pool professionals; these local pool professionals not only know how to properly take care of a pool in general, they also know how to take care of a pool in your region and climate.

NEVER lock yourself into using only the calendar for pool care. Rather, use the calendar as a guideline (to perform "weekly" maintenance), and adjust to certain variables specific to your region or climate. For more specific information on variables that deter water chemistry, "click" HERE.
