Many of lifeguards have scrubbed tiles and were unsuccessful on getting this off. Well a quick 5 minute search on Youtube and I found our answer. No harsh chemical…not crazy scrubbing. So, I demonstrated to one of our lifeguards and he spent less that 45 minutes this past Sunday and all the calcium scale has been removed.
I know a few lifeguards that have scrubbed and scrubbed for years. Rebekah was amazed at how easy it was and wish we would have known how to do that several years ago. I am sure Abby, Baxter, Justin, and other guards in the past can appreciate that this was cleaned in less than 1 hour!
The rest of us can enjoy the beauty of the pool and how we continue to learn how to take care of OUR pool!

The water in the deep end has been reading about 92 degrees the past 3 days. That’s nice but it doesn’t give much relief from air temperature that is 95-100 degrees plus it requires more chemicals to maintain a pool at such temperatures.
Our relationship with the Coast Guard Blue Dolphins (CGBD) Swim Team might yield us a water cannon (similar to the one above) which will potentially drop our pool water temps 8-10 degrees. The goal is to make the pool more refreshing for our swimmers but also help CGBD’s swimmers out as well. The water cannon will also help save on chemical usage as well has improve the cleanliness of the pool. We plan to run the water cannon after hours and remove it during normal pool hours.

We’ve been having some issues with the pump for quite sometime and a few days before July 4th we were seeing a decreased flow rate. After some research and investigation, we (Pete Fry, Ryan Greene, and Donnie Woodruff) spent about 2 hours disassembling the pump and installing the new impeller. After the repair, the flow rate is back to normal (actually slightly improved). Many of you have noticed the jets have more pressure and the pool is much clearer even with the heavier than normal usage.
It takes a lot of work to keep our greatest asset in top condition and takes many hands to do it! Thanks to all that have been involved since day 1 this year!
