Reverse Osmosis and Pool Draining in San Diego
Pool maintenance in San Diego requires specialized knowledge, particularly when it comes to draining and refilling your pool. While traditional draining methods waste thousands of gallons of water, reverse osmosis (RO) offers a sustainable alternative that preserves both your pool and the environment.
Reverse osmosis is an advanced filtration process that removes dissolved solids, chemicals, and contaminants from your pool water without requiring a complete drain. This technology uses a semi-permeable membrane to filter out impurities at the molecular level, leaving you with clean, balanced water that extends the life of your pool surface and equipment.
Why San Diego Pools Need Special Attention
San Diego's unique climate and water conditions create specific challenges for pool owners. Our municipal water contains high levels of minerals and chemicals that can damage pool surfaces over time. When these dissolved solids accumulate beyond manageable levels (typically measured as TDS or Total Dissolved Solids), traditional methods would require draining the pool completely—a process that wastes water and can potentially damage pool structures due to hydrostatic pressure in our coastal areas.
Reverse osmosis provides a sustainable solution by filtering and recycling your existing pool water. This process removes up to 95% of dissolved solids while retaining approximately 85% of your original water. For San Diego homeowners, this means significant water conservation during our frequent drought conditions and substantial savings on water bills and chemicals.
When performing pool maintenance, our technicians carefully assess your pool's specific needs. If TDS levels exceed 1,500 ppm or your pool shows signs of scaling, discoloration, or chemical resistance, we may recommend our mobile RO filtration service. This specialized equipment connects directly to your pool, purifying the water in place without the risks associated with draining.
Beyond environmental benefits, RO filtration extends your pool surface's lifespan, reduces chemical usage, improves swimmer comfort by eliminating irritants, and provides crystal-clear water quality that traditional filtration cannot achieve. For San Diego pool owners seeking the perfect balance between conservation and luxury, reverse osmosis represents the gold standard in modern pool maintenance.

After trying to DIY my pool following online forums and YouTube videos, I couldn’t for the love of god get rid of the stubborn algae out of my pool. James came in, did his magic, my pool is now sparkling clean. Knowledge and experience are a key. They don’t just come in and clean your pool, they explain everything along the way. Highly recommended.
