It is officially hurricane season in the Caribbean. In the event of a hurricane, are you pool-prepared? Don't worry if you're not, we've got some tips for you! Read the below on how to prepare your swimming pool for a hurricane: Shock ahead of the hurricane: By increasing your chlorine level, the extra chlorine will protect the water. Our retail store located on Friars Hill Road sells Calcium Hypochlorite (a non-stabilized chlorine) in various sizes that work as a shock treatment. Power down your equipment: It is essential to safeguard your heat pump, pool heater, and other equipment by powering it down from the electrical supply. Secure all loose components: Whether it's chairs, tables, or pool cleaning tools, it is recommended to remove or tie down loose objects ahead of the hurricane. For any questions, send us an email at cwt@candw.ag. Our Pool Service Manager would be happy to advise.

YES! Our Purchasing Manager just got certified (again) in the basics of water chemistry and testing. This time by Taylor Technologies Inc. Why is this important? Of course, we want to know what we buy and sell from our different suppliers. And be sure it is up to the quality standards we are known for. but it goes far beyond that... We get all our people trained. In whatever is relevant to our business. Because it means growth for our staff and growth for our business. Likewise, we have a certified MCP trainer in-house and regularly organize training on the island. We do not fear this creates competition because it means growth for the island and better pool conditions for everybody. It is simply part of our commitment to bringing water solutions to the Caribbean.

Another great achievement! We are excited to announce that Kareem Francis, our Project Engineer/Services Coordinator, along with nine employees at Caribbean Water Treatment passed the VIQUA Certified Installer program. Completing this program assures customers that their VIQUA UV system is not only well designed but installed professionally and safely. To learn more about this program, go to: https://encr.pw/pUPMR
