As weather warms, pool owners will be slipping back the covers and checking the condition of their pool water. If taken care of the previous fall, the water will be in good shape. If not, it might be cloudy and green.
Especially in those cases, chemical cleaning can be complicated, so Jim Bishop, owner of Poolmart and Spas in Clarkston, presents Pool School every spring.
Students learn how to adjust the chemistry of their pools, to make them chemically balanced. When balanced, the pool will be clear and clean, Bishop said.
‘If the water doesn’t look good, no one will want to go in it,? he said. ‘We’ll show you how to get clean, clear water so your family can enjoy it.?
Pool School is set for 7 p.m., May 2, at the store, 5738 South Main Street. To register, call 248-625-0729, or e-mail them at bill@poolmartspas.com or poolmartinfo@poolmartspas.com.
Poolmart and Spas has several new styles of swimming pools this season. The store offers Doughboy above-ground, steel pools, as well as hot tubs, full line of chemical treatment products, and accessories.
Homeowners who want an in-ground pool should still come by, though ? one of the latest trends is to dig a hole, place an above-ground pool inside, then fill around it. This provides an in-ground type pool at about half the cost of a concrete pool, he said.
In addition to retail products, Poolmart is equipped with a water analysis lab and diagnostic center.
