Commercial and Residential Pool Service in New Orleans, Louisiana
Just because your pool water may be blue or look safe to swim in it does not mean it is. In fact, one CDC study found that more than 10% of routine inspections of public swimming pools, hot tubs/spas, and water playgrounds, led to immediate closure because of serious violations, such as improper chlorine or bromine levels. It's common knowledge that imbalanced pool water can be harmful to humans , but most pool owners are surprised to find out that it also can be detrimental to the pool itself.
Can Imbalanced Water Damage Your Pool?
Have you noticed pool plaster chipping or cracking, leading to costly leaks? Imbalanced water is usually the cause, and it's preventable. The same goes for scale, that white buildup that damages your pool surface and equipment over time. One factor controls both problems: keeping your LSI balanced.
What Is LSI and Why Does It Matter?
LSI is a scoring system that shows whether your water is too acidic, too scale-forming, or properly balanced. Acidic water etches plaster. Scale-forming water damages surfaces and equipment. [For more information click here.]

Why Your Pool Water Should Look Like Drinking Water
Our mission is simple: keep your pool water properly balanced and safe for you and your pool. Every product we use is NSF/ANSI-50 Certified, including Orenda CV-600 Enzyme Water Cleaner. As people swim, they leave behind sweat, natural oils, sunblock, hair gel, and tanning oil that chlorine can't break down on its own. With Hammerhead Pools, you don't have to swim in that. We use Orenda's CV-600 enzymes to digest these oils and remove them from the water, leaving you with pool water that looks like drinking water.
As a husband and wife team in New Orleans, Louisiana, we're certified Orenda service pros passionate about exceptional swimming pool care. We specialize in equipment repairs, including chemical feeder systems, filters, pumps, and more. Instead of searching endlessly for a pool company you can trust, connect with us and let us handle your pool needs.
