Do you know everything about your pool? Chances are you don’t. In this podcast episode we discuss how what you don’t know about your pool can actually hurt you. Podcast Transcript: Welcome to the Pool Doctor of the Palm Beaches online podcast. With your hosts, Holly Colasurdo and Elizabeth Varian. Elizabeth Varian:  Hey everybody, Elizabeth Varian here with Pool Doctor of the Palm Beaches for our monthly podcast. I have Holly on the line here. Say hey Holly. Holly Colasurdo:  Hey guys. Elizabeth Varian:  Yeah, we’re all in the middle of- Holly Colasurdo:  Happy December. Elizabeth Varian:  … holiday season, yes. Kicking everything off. Holly Colasurdo:  Happy holidays. Elizabeth Varian:  Yes. Hopefully it’s a beautiful one, the weather has been going back and forth so we’re hoping it’s swimming pool holiday season, right? Holly Colasurdo:  I hope so. I know Saturday we’re supposed to get a cold front, so for all of us northerners who live in Southern Florida, we’re ready with our sweaters and our boots. Elizabeth Varian:  Yes, don’t mention that, we’re all be double bundled. Let’s get started. We have an interesting topic for today. We want to cover what you don’t know about your pool can hurt you. Together, Holly and I have compiled real questions that people have come to us, much later than they probably should have, and they didn’t think that the beginning events were actually a red flag to something bigger that was going on under the scenes or with their pool equipment. So, should be an interesting topic, because this has become common. The first question that we have is, “Why is my water so low? Can’t I just fill it up? Just pull that hose out and just add some more water?” Holly Colasurdo:  Right, well most of the time after work as I’m driving, I’m trying to think, what do our clients think about, or people that aren’t our clients think about when they have a pool? So many of us do have a pool, so I try to get creative and I do most of my serious thinking, as I said, when I’m driving. I thought about that. I’m like, “What are they not aware of that could possibly hurt them?” Now, whether you have a service company or whether you do your pool on your own … Okay, so the first thing, the question we always get is, “Why is my water level so low?” Well, if it’s in the summer, of course it could be because of the heat. It can drain a lot of water from the pool. If it’s excess, then possibly be a leak. That can hurt you, because if you don’t have enough water in your pool, and normally it’s the waterline tile, where the tile meets the pool, should at least be there. Then your pump can’t filter correctly. Then your motor is being extra stressed and taxed above and beyond, which can break down your equipment faster than the normal rate. So if you do notice that water is low, you can call Pool Doctor, your service company, have then come do a leak detection, which is important, because it could be something serious or again it could just be the heat. Then that gets into our next thing. If you want to add water on your own, you have to be careful with that too. That question was if you add water, you have to be really careful, because then it can throw off the balance of the chemicals. If you’re doing it on your own, you better be balancing your chemicals once a week, and if not your service company is doing that, because that shows them what they need to add or what type of chemical they need to add, if they have to add anything. Weather becomes a factor, if we’ve had a lot of rain, lot of wind, lot of debris, that can throw off chemicals in your pool as well. It’s important to always keep your pool balance,

This podcast is about pool service and ideas for the Holidays. Podcast Transcript: Welcome to the Pool Doctor of the Palm Beaches online podcast, with your hosts Holly Colasurdo and Elizabeth Varian. Elizabeth: Hey everybody, it’s Elizabeth Varian. I’m here with Holly Colasurdo from Pool Doctor of the Palm Beaches. Holly: Hello. Elizabeth: How are you doing, Holly? Holly: We’re good. We’re good, thank you. Elizabeth: Yes, we’ve got the holidays. Oh my goodness. They are almost here. Holly: They’re here. Elizabeth: Just a few weeks away in the US for Thanksgiving and I just can’t believe that this year has gone so quickly. Holly: I know. It’s unbelievable. The older we get the faster it goes. Elizabeth: Make it slow down. Definitely make it slow down. Let’s talk about that. Let’s get our podcast listeners ready for their pool and the holidays. Holly: Yeah, pool and the holidays. Elizabeth: What are some of the services that Pool Doctor offers or their pool company can do to help them prepare because we’re doing the decorations. We’re getting the house in order. Holly: Right. Elizabeth: Let’s get that … Holly: Along with your regular pool service … it’s a little windy here in Florida and the leaves start blowing as we can say our palm fronds are blowing around. Some of the trees that we have that blow some of the holiday leaves can get in the pool as well. A lot of clients do call and, oh we have some leaves in the pool. We’ll go out and make sure we pick those up, so they can entertain. Elizabeth: Maybe a little extra cleaning … Holly: Yeah, a little extra cleaning. We do offer acid wash or cleaning the decks, whatever a client needs … Elizabeth: Nice, get that good clean pressure cleaning so that they don’t have to pay somebody else to do it. That’s wonderful. Holly: Yeah. We do a lot of different things. Let’s see. Aside from cleaning the pool and testing the chemicals. A lot of our clients are now coming down from the Northeast. Elizabeth: Yes, burr. Holly: When they do like to have their pool ready for all their holiday entertaining. Needless to say, we’re crazy busy this time of year. We also … this time of year, people do come and visit their older loved ones. Having a lot more visitors, it’s probably a good idea to get the chemicals tested and make sure everything’s balanced. If the pool is going to be getting more activity from visitors than they normally have, just to make sure that everything is 100% … right, especially if they’re heating the pool. It could get really cold in Florida and the people love to keep their pool water like bath water. Elizabeth: Yes. I’m one of them. Holly: … especially our older clients. With company, as long as they’re getting their weekly service their pool should maintain itself. Elizabeth: The balance. Holly: Yes. If it looks odd, we measure with the chemicals anyway. We do that at every service but other than that, the cool weather does bring a little reprieve and without a lot of bodies in the pool at this time there’s not really many chemicals you have to add, if any. Everybody’s different. Elizabeth: Just get it tested to make sure. My favorite so far is that pressure cleaning because I didn’t know a pool company would pressure clean my decks. I found somebody else to do that and that just … it easier to know somebody already who I already trust and have come out already to say hey can you just stop over and do this extra service. Holly: Right. Elizabeth: Let’s talk about the holidays, the fun part. Thanksgiving is a lot of cooking. Hanukkah, you’ve got eight wonderful days and then Christma...
