Water Chemistry & Recovery
Chemistry is how you protect plaster, vinyl, and equipment after we finish structural work.
Algae events and metal stains often follow storms, cover delays, or circulation gaps. We reset water with staged oxidizers, filtered polishing, and realistic timelines for swimming again.
Before and after frames below show algae control projects and cleared waterlines after vacuum and filtration tuning.
Recovery playbooks
Green pools get debris removal first, then calibrated shock passes, then filtration runs we can monitor overnight when needed. We avoid stacking incompatible chemicals on the same day.
- Staged chlorine or non chlorine shocks based on liner type
- Filter cleaning intervals during heavy kill phases
- Metal sequestrants when fill water carries manganese or iron
Weekly balance programs
Once water is clear, we align pH, alkalinity, stabilizer, and sanitizer to your sunlight and bather load. Automation owners receive notes on ORP trends when probes drift.
Coordination with leak repairs
Fresh fills after leak fixes need different startup targets than a simple opening. We document start totals, first day sanitizer levels, and when autofill can resume without masking a new loss.
