The Future of Swimming Pool Maintenance and Care
With fresh water scarcity a fact of life, the American cultural habit of draining and refilling 11 million pools twice a year is not only unnecessary and expensive but has other major disadvantages. Among the primary of them are:
- Scaling (calcium buildup) as the water becomes progressively harder through evaporation.
- The pool accumulates cyanuric acid and bacteria and becomes unhealthy.
- Chemical shocking leading to unhealthy pool water balance.
- Empty pools that crack during climate temperature swings.
- Empty pools get misaligned or pushed above ground by rising groundwaters in coastal areas. Destructive to both pools and patios.
The Advantages of Reverse Osmosis (RO)
Healthy Water = Happy Pools
- The water is fully purified and disinfected to a high standard. Why drain a pool when you can purify it? It’s the most hygienic way to deal with pool water.
- You get the highest water quality and pool owners, family and friends all get a heightened enjoyment when they are in the pool.
- The reason customers LOVE pool RO is because RO purified and disinfected water makes them feel good and really super clean.
- Curbside service. Easy pull up and hookup. Only the hoses get pulled onto the customers property. Everything else stays on the trailer.
- Given that pools cost between $50,000-$100,000 on average, spending several hundred dollars a few times a year to prevent costly damage to pool components is sensible.
- Purifying pools by treat-in-place RO to avoid draining and the risk of multi-thousand dollar crack repairs is the logical move for pool owners.

For technicians and customers who want the best — OriginClear’s Pool Preserver is the Solution.
What is Pool Preserver?
The USA has over 5 million residential in-ground swimming pools and over 300,000 public swimming pools, most of which are drained and refilled biannually. Pool Preserver™ is OriginClear’s Treat-in-Place innovation which enables on the spot pool water filtration and renewal of water vitality within hours without draining and refilling. Pool Preserver’s mobile, sophisticated, reverse osmosis pool cleaning system delivers:
- On-site filtration that replaces the traditional draining and refilling of pools.
- Pool Preserver prevents calcium scale buildup by removing scale-forming minerals from the water.
- Removes bacteria, cyanuric acid, chemical buildup and disinfectant by-product residuals.
- Prolongs the life of pools by removal of component-corrosive elements.

Benefits
Environmental, Social, Governance – PoolPreserver Can Save Billions of Gallons of Water Every Year
Environmental Benefits – The Solution to “Drain & Replace”
Reverse osmosis cleaning is the best choice:
- Saves the cost and waste of water.
- Removes hardness and pool damaging substances.
- Purifies water of unhealthy contaminants.
- Restores water to its natural state which facilitates proper pool water balance.
- Far easier than drain & refill with less risk to the pool.
PoolPreserver™ Reverse Osmosis Pool Water Replacement
What are Pool Preserver’s Benefits to Pool Cleaning Companies?
Profit and growth factors for pool cleaners using reverse osmosis pool water replacement (PWR):
- Profit of $400 to $600 per pool cleaned. Sales range $600 to $800 per pool.
- Superior quality product = more satisfied customers = more repeat business.
- Market exclusivity: today less than 60 pool cleaning companies of the 65,000 in the primary pool-cleaning markets offer RO cleaning.
- Huge growth potential considering currently low market penetration.
- With proper maintenance Pool Preserver can operate for decades.
- Greater production potential. Drain and refill of a 13,500 gallon pool averages 36-40 consecutive hours. Pool Preserver recycles and purifies the water in 6-7 hours.

Technical Factors
Optimal Pool Water Balance
Pool water quality is affected by the level of pH, which is affected by alkalinity. Pool water pH levels that are too high can cloud the water or create scaly deposits, but low pH levels allow for pool equipment and surfaces to become etched and corroded. Water balance for pools essentially means to bring into balance chemically, the most important factors being the pool pH, total alkalinity (TA) and calcium hardness (CH) levels.
Association of Pool & Spa Professionals (APSP) Pool Maintenance Technicians use the langelier saturation index or LSI, to check the overall state of water. The LSI is a valuable tool that has been used in the pool industry for decades and helps determine if water is generally corrosive, prone to scaling or in a good neutral state.
Typical Sequence of Swimming Pool Events
- Initial Pool Fill. Pool is filled with fresh water from the city that contains minerals (i.e. salt, calcium, magnesium, other metals, etc.).
- The water is balanced to meet pool industry parameters. The objective is to balance pH, calcium, and chlorination components to achieve optimal TDS and alkalinity relationships.
- As evaporation takes pure H20, leaving behind the minerals water with more minerals is added to the pool.
- Swimmers enter the pool carrying “bather waste.” APSP guidelines typically recommend a regular water replacement program based on number of daily bathers. As new water is added it affects the water chemical balance.
- Disinfectant is added to the pool to keep the water clean increasing the risk of high Disinfection By-Products (DBPs).
- Algaecides are added to the pool to keep the water clear of algae.
- Minerals, DBPs, waste and other metals overwhelm the water.
- The pool is drained.
Note: Events 3-6 increase the pool’s TDS which if not handled properly result in high Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) and chloramines (combined chlorines) of a corrosive nature with repercussions. Calcium hardness scale develops on equipment, filters, plumbing, and pool surfaces. CYA build up over 100ppm impacts on Cryptosporidium remediation and on Total Alkalinity tests. Testing Interferences increase (with proportionate accuracy decrease) due to dealing outside of recommended (controllable) parameters.
PoolPreserver obviates pool draining and refill conventionalities by cleaning pools with its Treat-in-Place technologies. These technologies address the above issues and effectively “refresh & reboot” the pool’s water, enabling simpler and more reliable pool water balance.
