 Suntek’s Spa Drain/Clean/Refill service includes:

·         The spa is drained.

·         We clean the tub with a fast acting surface cleaner that removes tough water lines and grease build-up.

·         The tub is rinsed, vacuumed, and wiped down with a towel.

·         The shell of the tub is waxed from the waterline to the lip of the tub to protect the acrylic finish from chemical attack and fading from UV rays.

·         The spa is refilled with fresh water.

·         The filter cartridge is cleaned with a spray on formula to remove oil, grease, calcium, and scale formation.

·         The spa cover is cleaned with a heavy-duty liquid UV protectant.

·         The operation of the tub is checked to make sure that the heater, pumps, blower, and controls are working properly.

·         The water is shocked with a chemical that disinfects the water and kills any bacteria.

Keep Your Pool Algae Free

August is creeping up on us, and that can mean one thing for pool owners, the frustrating experience of having algae float around in your pool.
The end of the summer is slowly approaching, families are taking vacations left and right, and not a whole lot of their attention is focusing on the cleanliness of their pool. Taking care of your pool is the last thought on your mind when school is around the corner, finish the summer strong with a pool that is crystal clear!
Although having algae in your pool isn’t all too common, if it does appear in your pool it can be an annoyance to get rid of. Just in case these green organisms do surface in your backyard pool, here is a list of 4 keys to ensure your pool doesn’t have the problem of growing algae:

• Keep your sanitizer levels up- chlorine levels must be kept at optimal levels, all day, every day.
• Keep the water moving- algae starts when water stops; keep your filter on for the month of August.
• Use the pool- the best way to keep a pool clean is by actually using it. Swimmers mix up the water and debris, which allows the skimmer to catch more particles and ultimately filter the pool better.
• Add an algaecide weekly- best way to prevent algae from ever surfacing, keeps your summer stress free.
