Well – we heard it again from a facility – and we hear it all the time: “For 9 years since I got here, it wasn’t a problem.  Now all of a sudden it is.”

While the standards for pool care haven’t changed much, the Pennsylvania Department of Health has stepped up enforcement of aquatic facility regulations.  They have discovered many situations where operators have been caring for their facilities incorrectly for a long time.  In many cases, this was because of improper or inadequate training and “rule of thumb” practices that were incorrect.  Sometimes, pool suppliers and dealers were the sources of bad information, too. 

We hear many situations where “it was never a problem and now it is.”  Well, it was a problem; it’s just the facility was never caught – because it was never adequately inspected.  It’s proof that “experience” alone is not a measure of correct performance.

Lehmann Pools & Spas invests heavily in training to ensure we have the latest in regulatory and technical knowledge.  In fact, we are certified facility operator instructors.  When you choose Lehmann Pools & Spas for service, you can be assured we will have the latest knowledge and training to ensure you will be fully in compliance with all applicable regulations.

Improper operation of facilities can result in significant liability for their owners.  We’ll help you manage your risk and assure you that you will operate a safe and compliant facility.  And, since we’re a year-round operation, so you can call us anytime for assistance with critical issues.

If you know anything about Lehmann Pools & Spas, you know that we will relentlessly pursue solutions to your issues.

  • Whether commercial or residential, you know we have a vast selection of parts.
  • You know that if we don’t have it, we’ll find it – not just A part, but the RIGHT part.
  • You know that we will reach out to wherever we need to get the most amount of information to be able to troubleshoot correctly.
  • And, when it comes to installation and testing, we’ll make sure we’ve figured out the RIGHT way, not just A way.

That led to this – helping a Senior Community – Assisted Living facility acquire and install a replacement therapy bath.

  • We worked hard to troubleshoot and find parts for an old existing unit.
  • We found the manufacturer (even though a series of mergers had all but buried the product line)
  • We found the right parts
  • We talked to support reps and figured out the correct way to troubleshoot and ultimately install new parts
  • Then, when it came time to replace it – well – the story got more interesting.

And, so here we are today. A new, replacement tub from a different manufacturer.  A tub with a support system (us) should they need service.  And, a quality product from one of the largest, most reputable companies in the continuing-care market.

You’ll hear more!  But for now enjoy the picture.  And, know that we are relentless!

Love your 3″ Tablets?  They’re convenient, aren’t they?  East to use – you just plop ’em in the skimmer or fill up your chlorinator with them and – viola!  Minimal messing with your pool!

Great!  Easy!  But, all of a sudden, one day your pool gets cloudy.  And, it looks like…algae.  How can that be?  “I keep tablets in my skimmer!”

You run your water down to the local pool store – your test says too much stabilizer.  Stabilizer?  Cyanuric Acid (CYA)!  Most common tablets – the 1″ or 3″ pucks – contain a lot of stabilizer.  So does your instant-dissolve chlorine powder (labeled di-chloro….).

The stabilizer (CYA) that is supposed to protect your chlorine from being destroyed by sunlight is working against you.  From the very smallest amount, it begins to diminish the effectiveness of chlorine.  It’s benefit – preserving chlorine from sunlight – is weighed down by the effect it has on chlorine’s ability to kill.

So, there’s a balancing act.  Keep enough in the water to slow the rate of solar degradation, but not so much as to render your chlorine ineffective.  Most water standards put this level of CYA at 30 – 50 ppm.  For comparison, public pools in Pennsylvania are regulated to no more than 20 ppm.  And, indoor pools should never have any CYA.

Nothing ever takes CYA out of pool water.  The only way to lower your CYA is to remove your water containing CYA and replace it with fresh water.  Since most of us don’t want to do any kind of a “big drain,” what else can you do?  How about our Poolife® NST™ Non-Stabilized Tablet System?

  • Poolife® NST™ Non-Stabilized Tablet System
  • Use them in your skimmer

If you use tablets in your skimmer, you get the same convenience with Poolife® NST™ Non-Stabilized Tablets.  (Unfortunately, you can’t use them in a feeder).  But you use 1 tablet per 10,000 gallons per week just like your regular pucks.


Lehmann Pools & Spas is here for you!

Convenient Summer Hours – extended evenings and even open on Sundays!  PS – Did you know we’re Year Round?
