25 areas across town, the Zamá corridor, the coast toward Puerto Aventuras and the road to Cobá. Each area has its own page with the water conditions there.
Not every pool in Tulum has the same problem. In town it's the lime in the well water; on the coast, salt air and sand; in the jungle, leaves and phosphate. That's why we work with routes by area, not a single recipe.
Residential neighborhoods in town. Hard well water, family pools of 8 to 25 m³ and equipment that's usually undersized.
