**When the Heat Hits, So Does the Chemistry Crisis**

Summers in Arizona are no joke — especially for your swimming pool. With triple-digit temperatures, intense UV rays, and heavy pool use, your pool’s water chemistry can quickly shift out of balance if not monitored closely.

At **Founder's Pool Service**, we know that routine testing and precise chemical dosing are key to keeping your pool sparkling, safe, and ready to enjoy — all summer long.

 

**🌡️ Why Hot Weather Affects Pool Chemistry**

When temperatures soar, several things happen that make your pool more chemically volatile:

- **Increased evaporation** reduces water levels and concentrates existing chemicals.
- **UV radiation** rapidly degrades chlorine, reducing its sanitizing power.
- **Higher bather loads** introduce contaminants like sunscreen, sweat, and oils.
- **Algae thrives** in warm, unbalanced water, turning pools green faster than you’d expect.

 

**🧪 The Importance of Routine Testing**

We recommend **testing your pool water 2–3 times per week** during the summer. Why?

- You can detect pH, alkalinity, and sanitizer issues **before they become costly problems**.
- You’ll avoid scaling, corrosion, and damage to equipment caused by imbalanced water.
- It ensures swimmer safety by maintaining proper chlorine and disinfectant levels.

 

**💧 How Much Chlorine Does a Pool Use in Arizona Summers?**

On average, a backyard pool in Arizona can use **1 to 3 ppm (parts per million) of chlorine per day**, depending on sunlight exposure, pool usage, and water temperature.

For a typical 15,000-gallon pool, this means:

- **0.2 to 0.6 gallons of liquid chlorine per day**, or
- **2 to 4 chlorine tablets every 4–5 days**

Without consistent dosing, chlorine levels can fall below effective ranges in as little as 24 hours.

 

**✅ Leave It to the Certified Experts**

At **Founder’s Pool Service**, our technicians are trained to:

- Routinely test and document your pool's chemistry
