Test chemistry weekly
Desert sun burns through chlorine fast. Aim for 1–3 ppm free chlorine and pH between 7.4–7.6 to protect your finish and skin.
Pool tips
Field notes from the desert.
A few of the things we wish every Las Vegas pool owner knew. Save them, share them — or just call us.
Run pumps 8–10 hrs/day in summer
In Vegas summers, your pool needs at least one full turnover per day. Cut runtime in winter to save energy.
Skim after every dust storm
Monsoon dust kills filters fast. A 5-minute skim and basket empty after storms saves you a service call.
Watch evaporation
Pools can lose 1/4” per day in summer. Top off weekly so the skimmer keeps pulling debris properly.
Brush the tile line
Hard water leaves calcium scale at the waterline. A weekly brushing prevents permanent etching.
Schedule a fall equipment check
October is the perfect time to service heaters, salt cells, and automation before next swim season hits.
