Pool Draining
Is your pool water looking dull, feeling off, or becoming increasingly difficult and expensive to maintain? In our unique Las Vegas climate, intense evaporation and hard water cause minerals (Total Dissolved Solids – TDS), chemicals (like Cyanuric Acid – CYA), and contaminants to concentrate over time. After typically 2-3 years, this buildup makes it hard to balance chemicals effectively and can lead to persistent issues.
Consider Our Pool Draining Service If:
● It’s been 2-3 years or more since the last drain.
● You have persistently high TDS or CYA levels.
● Your water is constantly cloudy or dull despite treatment.
● Chemicals don’t seem to balance correctly or work effectively.
● You’re experiencing stubborn algae or scaling issues.
● You need certain repairs (like plaster patching or light replacement).
● You’re planning an acid wash or other deep surface treatment.
You simply want to start the swim season with fresh, clean, easy-to-manage water.
Why Draining is Necessary for High TDS & CYA:
It’s important to understand that high levels of Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) and Cyanuric Acid (CYA) cannot be effectively lowered through chemical treatments or standard filtration. Draining and replacing the water is the only practical solution to significantly reduce these accumulated substances and restore proper water balance. While a partial drain may offer slight temporary improvement, a complete drain is highly recommended to achieve a true fresh start. (Note: Fiberglass pools have specific structural considerations and typically require partial draining procedures to prevent potential damage).
The Benefits of Fresh Pool Water:
Replacing old, saturated water eliminates built-up contaminants and resets your pool’s foundation with clean, balanced water. This results in clearer, safer, more comfortable swimming water that requires less chemical intervention and is easier to maintain.
Are you wasting water?
We understand the concern about water conservation in our desert environment – it’s a common reason homeowners hesitate to drain their pools. However, when your pool is drained correctly into the sanitary sewer system, that water is not wasted. It travels directly to local water treatment facilities, where the Southern Nevada Water Authority and its partners efficiently reclaim and treat it before safely returning it to our community’s water supply system.
