Above Ground Spa and/or Isolated Spa
Policy
The overall issue with
servicing an above ground spa, etc. is the fact that a spa (due to its gallon
capacity versus number of bathers) must be maintained more than once a week.
Compared to a swimming pool, there are fewer gallons of water per user in a spa;
therefore the concentration of bacteria is higher. It is common to have
only 200 gallons of water per person in spa as compared to 1,800 gallons of
water per person in a pool. Three (3) people in a 600 gallon spa is
equivalent to 137 people in a 27,000 gallon pool (a typical diving pool).
Other pool service companies have told us that they would not service an above
ground spa unless the homeowner signed a waiver of liability releasing the pool
service company from any and all injuries or illnesses that may occur in
conjunction with using the spa. This was simply because the spa requires
the chemical balance to be checked and adjusted 2 - 3 or more times per week
depending on the amount of usage it receives and the temperature the spa is kept
at, since hotter water temperatures will result in elevated bacterial growth and
the chlorine and other sanitizers will break down more quickly. An
improperly or poorly maintained spa can cause the following health issues: Non-fecal related illnesses:
Fecal Related Illnesses (everyone has fecal matter on their body at all times):
**Kill Times Based
on 1 ppm Chlorine at 7.5 pH and 77 Degrees Fahrenheit Water Temperature. These previous illnesses are
the reasons that Arizona Pool Pros will only provide service to above ground
spas, etc. after each client has received a copy of this notice.
This notice is provided as part of each and every New Client Packet we
issue and it can also be found in the Agreement & Policies section of our
website. It would be inappropriate for us to leave you with the impression
that having Arizona Pool Pros service the spa only once per week would in any
way guarantee that the spa was safe enough for you and your family to use at any
given time. Therefore, we always recommend that the client check and
adjust the chemical balance of the spa before and after each use and between
Arizona Pool Pros scheduled service visits.
Should you have any
questions or concerns regarding this policy please call us at 480-986-6858. Kind regards, Arizona Pool Pros
