What we've learned servicing pools here
Richmond Hill's quiet service factor is the Oak Ridges Moraine groundwater profile. Pools in Oak Ridges, Observatory, and the north side of Bayview Hill are filled from groundwater sources that run measurably higher in calcium than typical municipal-water-fed pools further south. The implication: scale formation is faster here, salt cell life is shorter without aggressive calcium management, and heater exchangers need closer monitoring. We test calcium hardness more frequently on Oak Ridges-area properties than on the city average, and we use scale-inhibitor strategies proactively rather than reactively.
