Looking for advice, please.
Our developer has advised that our pools need to be emptied and refilled with fresh water and will take 5 days to accomplish.( see quote below ) My question is : is this dangerous and should the pools be closed until this has been addressed? Obviously the timing is not good with us in the middle of the season. Also what would cause this, bad management or wear and tear?
Quote: Even though the pumps are working for the adequate time needed and the chlorine and PH levels are ideal, the alkalinity and the Cyanuric Acid levels are too high (this is due to the length of time the water has been in use in the pool and not through quality of the water) which prevents the chlorine to kill the germs.
Therefore this is essential to be done for the general upkeep of the pool.Furthermore, we need to clarify to you that refilling the pool with fresh water is according to the rules of the Public Health Services and the Eloctromechanical Department of Cyprus. unquote
