A Day in the Life of Our CPOs and Pool Attendants Welcome to our aquatic laboratory! Our CPO’s are akin to pool chemists, meticulously balancing water chemistry to perfection. From monitoring disinfectant, pH levels, alkalinity, calcium hardness, temperature, to total dissolved solids (TDS), every aspect of pool water is carefully examined. Balancing outdoor pools adds an extra layer of complexity, as Mother Nature likes to throw surprises our way. Multiple daily checks ensure that disinfectant and pH levels meet not only state requirements but also our own rigorous safety standards, especially on busy days when pools are bustling with activity. Beyond water chemistry, our pools rely on heavy machinery to keep them running smoothly. Regular checks and maintenance of filters, heating elements, and other equipment are essential components of our routine pool care. Of course, aesthetics matter too! Regular pool sweeping and skimming not only keep our pools visually appealing but also help prevent any algae outbreaks. This glimpse into our daily routine barely scratches the surface of the hard work our dedicated teams put into maintaining our pools. It’s no small feat! A Big Thank You to Russ and Our CPOs We extend our thanks to Russ for sharing his expertise and insights into the world of pool maintenance. And to all our Resort CPO’s, thank you for your hard work in keeping our pools pristine! After all, they’re the unsung heroes behind the scenes, ensuring that every swim is a safe and enjoyable one. Keeping Our Pools Pristine While our teams work tirelessly to keep our pools clean, there are ways pool-goers can pitch in too. We asked Russ for his number one tip for pool enthusiasts, and he emphasized the importance of showering or washing off before taking a dip. While it may not be the most exciting step, it can prevent a host of issues. Sweat, for example, introduces bacteria into the pool, which can lead to imbalances and even skin irritation. Similarly, products like deodorant and sunscreen can contribute to cloudy water and less than desirable pool. By washing off before diving in, everyone can enjoy a clean and inviting pool experience.
