Pool Summerization:
It is the process of draining, disinfecting, cleaning, and filling your outdoor pool with fresh chlorinated water. The purpose is to prepare the pool for the summer season and remove the dirty standing water, debris and mould that forms over the winter.
Local bylaws are strict when it comes to stagnant water and the fines outweigh the cost to drain, clean and fill your pool.
HEALTH RISKS RELATED TO STAGNANT WATER:
- A natural breeding ground that can lead to the spread of mosquito born illnesses including: West Nile virus. Dengue fever, Viral Encephalitis.
- Forms of Bacteria can develop causing multiple ailments including E.Coli, Dysentery or Cholera.
- A bad odor creates annoyance
- Looking at a dirty or infested area creates unwanted tension for those who pass by.
Generally, a facility or home caught with stagnant water will get a week’s notice prior to fines, so do not get caught at the last minute.
LIV North Pool Summerization package includes:
- draining, cleaning, and refilling so water can circulate with proper chemical levels
- a start up quantity of chemicals if none are on hand.
- a complementary inspection to ensure everything is in good order.
Pool Opening:
Is the date that you are opening your pool for your local community to use. this is the date set to ensure everything is up and running and the pre-opening inspections are completed.
