I wonderin if thar's catfish in our cement pond?
It should be to nobody’s surprise that yesterday, July 15, 2008; our outdoor pool once again was closed due to water problems. Two weeks ago it was closed down when it was pond scum green and tested to have absolutely no chorine for water sanitation. A week ago we had five days of heavy rain so there were no bathers and lots of fresh water. On my day off from work yesterday I wanted to enjoy our facility and noticed the water was not looking quite right. I tested it before jumping in and I’m glad I did. No chorine registered again. I dropped the idea of using the pool and went to use the outdoor hot tub. Well it didn’t look right either. I found out the filtration pump was not operating. Not to make a fuss I went to use the indoor facility and while the water appeared ok, the tiles bordering the pool and spas had a thick dark filmy crud line. I called maintenance after using the indoor facility and turned in the problems about the outdoor facility. After an hour and a half without a response I decided to bothered our pools monitor. To her credit she immediately left the pool area towards maintenance to solve the situations. Within fifteen minutes we had Armando’s assistant Gino and Tony the plumber there. That was followed soon after with the appearance of Armando and the general manager. They close the outdoor pool until its water correction.
I went today and the outdoor pool and hot tub were opened and the water appeared considerably better. A person swimming in the outdoor pool asked the pool monitor if anyone had turned in that one of the pool lights was dangling out of its socket. The monitor told this person that she had told them (maintenance) several times, and promptly left to find Leo who works pool cleanup and light maintenance. This guy does work hard. Within 25 minutes the light, which had been out of its socket for well over month, was reattached. I think after seeing what our monitor can accomplish, I'd might hire her to manage the pool facility.
I feel we should question management on why we are paying Berry Pools nearly a grand each month for the last year to assure us the proper combination of pool chemicals are being administered and that they are on top of this by supposedly monitoring the chemical readings every two hours that should avoid these continuous dangerous situations. What’s your thought?

Wednesday!, Wednesday! It seems the record is stuck on the same tune, Outdoor pool closed, Chemical problem!!!
To add fat to the fire, the puddle outside the "controls" room where the Chlorination system is located will soon have wildlife in it. Another comment questioned where Armando is, especially when there is a problem of the above nature. A response, in Spanish, was heard: Armando Who? Blaming the Pool Staff is NOT the answer.
The leaking water that is forming by the Pool Gate may be part of/the reason the Chlorinator is not functioning properly and it has been there thru several attempts by Pool staff, Gatekeepers, and others to report the need to fix it.
Well, tommorrow maybe Thursday!, Thursday!
I think the answer is obvious. If Berry Pools is not taking care of our pools and therefore fulfilling their contract, fire them. Do not pay them another penny. Then find someone who WILL take care of our pools. There is no sense in dragging this on and on and on.
I am rather new at this discussion, and don't spend time at our pools, but why are we not able to find competent pool service? Is there none out there, or is there something wrong with our bidding process? Just wondering.
Friday!, Friday! Isidra on duty at the Controlroom "swamp", water spurting out of Chlorinator connection to water lines in said room! She has faulty "part" in her hand but Maintanence seen "hustling", blieve it or not, in the correct direction, MAYBE he had a fix/part to install. Keep tuned for later updates.
I reported the light out of its socket on several occasions prior to the middle of April.
Let's talk outdoor pool, the water is brown and there probably is fish or varmints swimming in it.
It's a shame the pool is in the condition it's in. The debris should have been removed and the filtration system checked after the storm.
Where's management on this one?
