“Smooth Tile” Pool developed a calcium buildup which presented as a white scale on the pool tile at the waterline and on the spa waterfall. The waterfall scale was especially obvious and visually unappealing.
We used our mobile reverse osmosis pool water purification technology to remove excess calcium from the water and to fix the root cause of the calcium buildup, not just the symptoms.
White scale is the most prominent symptom of pool water that is oversaturated with calcium. The hard water deposits excess calcium on surfaces like pool tiles and railings.
Traditionally, pool owners remove calcium buildup by adding products like calcium releasers and then vigorously brush the tiles. This process often takes hours of brushing to only see minor or temporary improvements. Since the calcium remains in the water, the hard water will deposit the calcium right back onto the nicely brushed pool tiles creating a frustrating cycle for homeowners.
Additionally, calcium releasers and other products that target hard water add more chemicals to your pool which often causes or perpetuates other problems down the line. Less is always more when it comes to chemicals!
Here at California Pool Co., we like to tackle the root cause of the problem so that you can save money and enjoy your pool more.
We used reverse osmosis pool water purification to bring this pool water to drinking standards.
This removed calcium levels by 77% in about 13 hours! We then balanced the pool chemicals to put the water in an absorptive state so that the water would re-absorb the calcium scale over the next couple months. We saved our elbow grease and made the water do the work for us!
As you can see from the pictures, the spa waterfall scale is almost completely gone! The tiles look practically new and the waterfall is beautiful once again.
