Recycling - The Right Choice!
Maintaining a safe, clean and inviting swimming pool for your family to enjoy is our mutual goal. Over time, this can become challenging as the water becomes saturated by chemicals used to regularly treat the pool. Isocyanuric acid is necessary for the operation of a swimming pool, either inground or above ground. Chlorine is subject to rapid deterioration by the U.V. rays of the sun. Isocyanuric acid helps to protect the chlorine, keeping the water safe against illness, etc. As the Isocyanuric acid level increases in the water, the effectiveness of chlorine is diminished. Removing Isocyanuric acid from the water restores the waters’ manageability, uses less chlorine, and avoids irritating and costly problems like algae growth, etc. Reducing the amount of Isocyanuric acid will substantially ease pool maintenance and operational costs.
Chances are that if you are investigating water recycling, you have been advised by a pool professional that the pool must be drained or have the water recycled in order to keep the pool safe, clean and inviting. This not only protects your family, it also protects the surface of your investment. These chemicals can precipitate out of the water and after time appear as stains on the surface.
Choosing to recycle your swimming pool is the most responsible option for pool owners where the water condition has become unmanageable. Recycling the pool is faster than draining and refilling, environmentally friendly, and has a significantly lower impact on the interior surface of your pool.
Please note: Green, cloudy pools where the bottom of the pool can not be clearly seen are not able to be recycled. Once the pool water is cleared, and the bottom visible, a recycling process can be performed.

The Regenaqua Recycling Process - Before, during and after
Before scheduling a recycling process, please have the water in the pool tested by a professional. Due to the variations in testing methods, our on-site test may vary from the results you have. This is normal; testing in advance is useful in estimating the total cost of the recycling project.
Before we arrive, the water in the pool should be clear and free of suspended particles. Dirt, debris and leaves resting on the surface of the pool is okay. A clear path for our technicians and hoses to pass, as close to the street as possible, is necessary. We are not able to go over fences, the hoses need to lay as flat as possible. Parking for the rig must be available. If street parking in your neighborhood is common, please download our ‘Letter to my neighbors”. This letter can be downloaded and copied for distribution to your neighbors indicating the day and approximate time of your recycling project. We let your neighbors know that parking for the rig is required close to gates and the potential for blocking a driveway may occur. We always remain respectful however, due to the layout of the neighborhood, blocking a driveway may be unavoidable.
During the recycle process, a responsible person must be home when our technicians are on site. We will be discussing our test results and the options available for the recycling process. Since we require open access between the pool and the street, please make sure your animals are safely contained.
Our rig is mostly self contained. We need access to a regular household outlet and a hose connection in the backyard. Our technicians will set up the machine, test the water and begin the process of recycling your pool. The water passing through the machine is constantly being tested and adjusted to return to your pool, balanced water for pH and total alkalinity. Calcium hardness, VOC’s , and isocyanuric acid will be removed from the water. A sample will be provided to you as a confirmation of the machine performance. The amount of time required to recycle your pool will be determined and discussed with you at the time of service.
Upon completion of the recycling process, our hoses will be collected and we will ensure to the best of our ability that the access gate has been secured. Our technician will meet with you regarding the results of the process and answer any questions you may have about the project.
After the recycling process, it is best to wait at least a day before testing the pool water. This allows time for the pool to stabilize. Please note that It is not uncommon for the isocyanuric acid levels and the calcium hardness levels to increase above the levels they were immediately following the processing. Our recycling process can only remove isocyanuric acid and calcium hardness that is dissolved in the water. Commonly, both of these elements are precipitated out of the surface of the pool and will dissolve back into the water. If you have a concern regarding the effectiveness of our equipment, a test sample of the water processed from your pool was provided to you.
