Hi Everyone!
We are looking forward to a great Summer season!
2020 has been off to an unusual start, but we want to assure you that COVID-19 does not have to delay or interrupt your swim season.
The CDC has outlined their guidance for swimming pools that you can check out here:
https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/community/parks-rec/aquatic-venues.html
They discuss the importance of continuing to social distance, hand washing, and not partaking in activities if having symptoms.
Keep in mind to disinfect frequently touched areas and items, such as ladders and handrails.
Overall, a properly maintained swimming pool has not been determined to pose a risk of spreading COVID-19.
So here is a reminder of the acceptable values for water chemistry testing:
| | Minimum | Ideal | Maximum |
| pH | 7.2 | 7.4-7.6 | 7.8 |
| Alkalinity | 60 ppm | 80-120 ppm | 140 ppm |
| Chlorine | 1 ppm | 3-5 ppm | 5 ppm |
| Calcium | 150 ppm | 200-400 ppm | 500-1000 ppm |
We recommend Taylor brand water chemistry testing kits,vacuuming, brushing, and netting your pool regularly as well as backwashing the filter as needed to keep up with the demand.
C&V Wetworks is here to help and we want you to have a safe, happy, enjoyable swim season!
