Gallagher Pools and Spas

With the mild spring we have had, and the snows of March long past, it is time to enjoy the summer! Temperatures are rising, and so are the demands for a clear swimming pool! Get your water circulated, fill your Gallagher Pools and Spas sample bottle from 18" below the surface of the water, and bring it in for a test! We can suggest chemicals to add to help clear up any problems you may be experiencing, balance your water to increase swimmer comfort, or even turn it blue! If your pool is getting boring, this is also a great time to shop for toys and games! We have a whole bunch of new toys this year that are fun for girls and boys of all ages. Everything from water-ball guns to underwater skateboards to flying fairies. We also have a variety of colored lights that create various effects in your pool water, and even on your deck.

For those of you who have come to the store, you have probably seen our two new employees. For those of you who have not, you will soon have the opportunity! Candyce is our new full time retail associates, while Abbi is our new summer assistant. These two additions to our team help keep things flowing throughout the long summer months, and make sure all of our customers are cared for in the traditional Gallagher Pool and Spa way.

Even in the best of times algae can grow, but with the sun and the rain this year we have been finding some customers who have terrible algae problems. Proper sanitizer maintenance can help prevent algae before it grows, as can Gallagher’s Algaecide 60. If the sanitizer remains low and algae starts to bloom it builds a slime layer to protect itself from chemicals. As the sun feeds it the algae begins to spread to the rest of your pool. Getting rid of algae is normally easy, through shocking your pool and adding algaecide. It can become more difficult if your pH and alkalinity are out of balance. Follow these steps to maintain an algae free environment.

1. Keep all of your chemicals in balance. Check your balance frequently to make sure it remains in the proper range, especially after large parties, rainstorms, and adding water.
2. Add 2 ounces of Algaecide 60 as a weekly maintenance treatment for every 10,000 gallons of pool water. In Baquacil pools 1 ¼ ounces per 10,000 gallons as a weekly maintenance.
3. If you notice algae beginning to develop, check your chemical balance. If it is just beginning, brush your walls to free the algae and destroy the slime layer. Shock the pool if it needs it just after brushing, and add a maintenance dose of algaecide.
4. Contact a Gallager Pools and Spas associate if the condition worsens or if you can not get the pool clean and clear.
