Swimming pool and Spa Service.

  • Welcome to BackintheSwim.com - Swimming Pool Services

  • Cloudy Water

    Probable Causes: Cloudy water is caused by any of, or a combination of the following conditions: High pH. Waste build-up. Low Chlorine level. Early stages of algae growth. Poor filtration or unfilterable particles Likely Solution: Check pH and adjust to 7.4 Add 1# Shock per 10,000 gallons.
    Add Clarifier. Check filter system for proper operation & flow. Backwash filter if it is dirty.

  • Metal Stains

    Probable Causes: Metal stains generally appear in various shades of brown, black, and blue-green. Metal stains are not affected by brushing and can occur even when there is little indication of metals in the water. Any metal content in the water may create a stain. A low pH allows the pool water to corrode any metals it touches. These dissolved metals ultimately "plate-out" in the form of a stain when the pH is adjusted to its proper levels. Likely Solution: Adjust pH to 7.2-7.4. Add 1qt. of a metal magnet per 20,000 gallons. Do not superchlorinate. Bring water sample in for lab analysis and ask for professional assistance. METAL STAINS CAN BE DIFFICULT TO REMOVE.

  • Green Water

    Probable Causes: Possibly caused by metals, but most likely caused by algae growth. Likely Solution: Check and adjust pH and Total Alkalinity. Add 1# Chlorine Shock and 8 oz. of a 60% algaecide per 10,000 gallons of water. If water is not clearing in 24 hours, repeat treatment. Bring water in to lab for analysis. See Section about ALGAE.

  • Black Spots

    Probable Cause: Black algae first appear as small round spots about 1/4" in diameter. Often the algae spots grow in groups. Black algae is resistant to light brushing, but unlike metal stains, can be scraped off. Likely Solution: Requires aggressive brushing with stainless steel brush (use a stainless steel brush only on gunite or concrete pools all others use a nylon brush) and a multi-chemical treatment. Get help. This algae is tough!

  • Eye/Skin Irritation - Chlorine Odor

    Probable Causes: Low pH and/or waste build-up through chloramines. Likely Solution: Check and adjust pH and Total Alkalinity. Shock with 1# of non chlorine shock per 10,000 gallons of water. Use Enzymes to keep odors from returning.

  • Can't Keep Chlorine Level Up

    Probable Causes: Low Stabilizer level and/or high chlorine demand from excess wastes in water. Likely Solution: Have water sample lab tested for stabilizer, total dissolved solids and nitrate levels. Add stabilizer if below 40 ppm. Shock with 2# of a non chlorine shock per 10,000 gallons of water to remove excess wastes. Other action may be necessary.
