In the twenty-first century, we’ve bid farewell to the outdated pool care techniques of the past and charted a course for the most efficient ways to monitor, clean, and repair pools and pool equipment.
At Captains Pool Care, we’re always interested in the latest equipment and technologies to keep Atlanta’s pools looking as shiny as a dubloon. Read on to learn about some of the most effective pool care technology released in recent years.
In the past, caring for a pool was not an exact science. The Captain remembers the days when people used color-matching kits to check pH and chlorine levels. The method produced less-than-exact measurements, which led some people to add either too much or too little chemicals to their water.
The pool pumps of the past were also notorious scallywags—not only were they loud, but many had to be turned on and off manually. If you forgot to turn it off, you were treated to a nightmarish electricity bill at the end of the month.
And communication? It was one step above signal flags. Even when the age of smartphones dawned, there still wasn’t reliable technology to keep you and your pool cleaning team informed and at the ready.
Avast! We no longer have to deal with these inefficient scourges of the past. At Captain’s, we’ve embraced the future, and it feels better than a moonlight skinny dip.
Thankfully, the pool care industry has sailed way past these older, inefficient, technologies as new devices and equipment have come onto the market.
In recent years, our phone has transformed into a remote for all kinds of devices around our home, from lights to the HVAC system. Captain’s Pool Care has leaned into this helpful trend, offering pool owners the opportunity to track important pool metrics on their phone, from water temperature to energy use and chlorine levels.
If your pool falls out of the designated "optimum" zone, you’ll get a notification (and we’ll know, too). Our team is always ready to weigh anchor and get you the pool help you need, and our apps and dedicated communications staff make sure there isn’t a moment lost.
Today’s early detection tech can find signs of a leak or faulty equipment in no time. From acoustic leak detection that uses sensitive microphones to find issues to pressure sensors that flag sudden drops in pressure, this detection technology allows professionals to spot pool repair needs early on, helping you avoid paying for a major restoration work down the road.
Chlorine sensitivity used to be a dealbreaker for regular swimming. However, there’s a new option to keep your pool sparkling clean while using less chlorine: ultraviolet water treatment.
In this process, ultraviolet (UV-C) light is used to disinfect pool water, rather than adding chlorine. For someone who wants a more natural swimming experience, this is a great technology to use, but you’ll need professional-grade monitoring to stay on top of water quality.
Need some of these tool and tech for your pool? Call up the Captain and his crew, and we’ll sail on over and get you set up so you can enjoy the rich spoils of twenty-first-century pool care!
