Ultraguard Pool Restoration Banishes Algae
Posted: under Pool Restoration, pool paint, pool resurfacing, swimming pool resurfacing.
Green algae is a common swimming pool problem. It is often caused by incorrect chlorine levels or other chemical maintenance issues. An aging plaster pool with a rough surface is the ideal place for algae to adhere. Often, an acid wash is the only solution, but also makes the problem worse, as it makes the surface rougher, which more easily harbors algae, and is apt to cause scrapes and sore feet for the bathers.
Refinishing your pool with an Ultraguard product can greatly decrease the need for expensive chemical treatments to get rid of green algae. The smooth, tile-like surface does not allow algae to adhere. It can be washed off easily with a sponge and mild detergent. And the smooth surface does not cause blisters, scrapes or bleeding as an aging plaster surface is prone to do.
In addition to these benefits, the cost of maintaining your pool water will be less, because the Ultraguard surface does not interact with pool chemicals as a plaster surface does. As a result, less chemicals are needed to maintain the proper balance for your pool water.
