Hey Wilmington pool owners! Click here for a UK Telegraph article detailing plans to use heat from a crematorium’s incinerators to heat a local swimming pool. It is a real article. NO JOKE. My favorite quote cites the leader of the House of Commons saying that he would die a happier man if he knew heat from his cremation was heating the waters of a swimming pool.

Wonder what the chemistry ramifications are? Apparently, it is safe.

Well Wilmington? Sound off! Your thoughts? Should we use “green” practices such as this to be more efficient or is this a bit too far? Let us know in the comments section below. And I would venture to guess our next blog post will be a bit cheerier! Thanks for looking!

At Bullfrog Pool Service, we are dedicated to making sure your pool runs efficiently and properly.  We carry a full line of maintenance chemicals designed to treat your pool water, keeping it clean, clear and balanced.  When we come out to your pool, we will do an energy consumption analysis based on how many hours per day your pool pump is running.  If you do not have a timer installed with your pool pump, we can install one and save you money on your energy bill!  Call us for a free on-site estimate for any maintenance, service, or repair needs today at 910-622-1329!

We at Bullfrog Pool Service recently had a customer call us about a pump that wouldn’t turn on.  We went out to the residence, and realized her motor needed to be replaced.  We replaced the motor on the swimming pool pump.  We then noticed a crack about 4 inches long in the cartridge filter tank, causing a huge leak.  This was most likely caused by a prolonged period of high pressure from clogged filter cartridges.  If you take care of your own pool and you have a cartridge filter, make sure you keep an eye on the pressure and when it gets above normal, based on filter manufacturer specifications, take out the cartridges and flush them properly.  If you have a current swimming pool maintenance company taking care of you pool, make sure they are checking the pressure and regularly flushing your filter components regularly, so this does not happen to you.  And if you have any questions or would like a free on-site consultation and quote on any pool maintenance, service or repair in or around Wilmington, NC, just give us a call at (910) 622-1329 or visit our contact page at http://bullfrogpoolservice.com/contact.html today! And thanks for visiting our blog!

Here are just a few of the swimming pools we are lucky enough to have using our maintenance programs, and we are happy to have them.  At Bullfrog Pool Service, we take care of all types of pools. We service, maintain, and repair gunite swimming pools, fiberglass swimming pools, vinyl-lined pools and fiberglass and gunite spas from Wilmington to Leland to Carolina Beach and other areas.

Here is one of the pools we maintain in the Masonboro Loop area. A beautiful spa overflows into a larger pool with several water features.

Here is another fiberglass pool in Leland.  A simple yet very functional pool. We love taking care of all kinds of pools!

A very nice beach entry pool in Landfall. It may be small, but in this case you don’t need size to be attractive! We stand behind every service we provide!
