So many times I get calls from new pool customers in San Diego about their salt cell system not working. This is mainly due to a few reasons. The salt cell is not being properly cleaned every 90 – 120 days as recommended by the manufacture of the pool salt cell. The pools salinity is not in the correct range so it isn’t producing chlorine as it should to keep your pool fully sanitized. With a little bit of patience and basic understanding this can be accomplished. The down side to not keeping up on your maintenances is you will have to replace the pool salt cell system much more frequently and it will cost you more money in the long run, and we all hate to waste money!

This job took place in beautiful San Diego. We were contracted to fully strip the old pool plaster and reset the slanting flagstone pool coping. The pool’s mastic was also redone to protect against moisture getting in between the coping and the pool deck. We worked with the homeowner to create a nice turtle inlay look on her newly mini-pebbled pool finish. The job went great and we finished it off by adding a saltwater chlorination system from Pentair pool products. It’s very important when remodeling a pool to pressure test all the pool’s suction and return lines to verify their integrity and ensure that there are no underground pipes leaking in the pool system’s infrastructure. This gives the homeowner peace of mind that there are no pool leaks and that they are not wasting unnecessary water. The final mini-pebble finish was applied and we started filling the pool within a few hours. The project turned out great and everyone was happy!

On this Pool Coping repair in San diego, we removed and reset some loose pool flagstone coping. The flagstone was coming loose from age and mortar breakdown. We removed the old flagstone, cleaned the bottom surface and reset with a new platinum mortar we use for pool tile and coping applications. Lastly, we color matched the grouting in between the individual pieces of flagstone on the pool Coping. We were able to blend it fairly nicely to match the current aged grouting color.

On this particular pool solar repair project we had a leaking pool panel on the customers roof. What was happening is the panel was worn from age, and not secured properly so during wind storms in rancho Sanata Fe it would shake loose. The pool was also losing water as a result when the systems filter was running. We installed a new pool solar panel and resecured the new solar pool panel so it wouldn’t move anymore during the high winds.
