What size pool heater do I need?

The size of pool heater you need depends on several factors: the size of your pool, your desired heating speed, BTU requirements, and whether or not you use a solar cover. Generally, you'll need to calculate the volume of your pool and your heating needs. A good rule of thumb is that you need 1 BTU for every 1 degree Fahrenheit increase per hour per gallon of water. For example, if you have a 15,000 gallon pool and want to raise the temperature 20 degrees, you would need a 300,000 BTU heater to do it in one hour. Our experts can help you determine the right size for your specific needs. Contact us at 403-381-8827 for a free consultation.

How often should I test my pool water?

We recommend testing your pool water at least 2-3 times per week during swimming season. However, if you're having problems with algae or water clarity, you should test daily. For hot tubs, weekly testing is essential. The key parameters to test are pH level, chlorine/sanitizer level, alkalinity, and calcium hardness. If testing seems overwhelming, our weekly water maintenance service includes complete water balancing and testing starting at just $49.99/week for spas and $62.50/week for pools. Let our certified technicians handle it for you.

What's included in winterization service?

Our professional winterization service includes: complete system drainage, pipe and equipment protection from freezing, chemical treatment and proper storage, equipment preparation for cold weather storage, and a spring startup consultation to get your pool or spa ready when the season returns. Proper winterization prevents costly freeze damage and ensures your equipment is protected during Alberta's harsh winters. Contact us to schedule your winterization service before winter arrives.

Why is regular pool maintenance important?

Regular pool maintenance is crucial for several reasons: it prevents algae and bacterial growth, extends the life of your equipment, maintains water clarity and safety, prevents damage from chemical imbalances, saves you money on emergency repairs, and ensures a healthy swimming environment. Neglected pools can develop serious problems that are expensive to fix. Our weekly maintenance service keeps your pool in perfect condition year-round, preventing problems before they start. Regular care is much more cost-effective than dealing with neglected pool problems.
