Nestled directly at the base of Mt. Helix, Casa De Oro pools deal with a unique pooling effect of heat and wind-blown dust coming off the mountainside. The heavy clay soils native to the base of the peak mean that any heavy rain events bring fine, highly alkaline dust directly into backyard waters, which rapidly drives up pH and total alkalinity. Our Casa De Oro maintenance approach relies on heavy-duty floor vacuuming to remove clay silt, precise acid balancing to counter rising alkalinity, and advanced chemical conditioning to keep water clear from mountain sediment.
