What are the disadvantages of shade balls?
Shade balls, while effective at limiting sunlight and evaporation, have underlying issues tied to their material composition and lifecycle. These plastic spheres may degrade over time, potentially leaching harmful chemicals into the water supply, which raises concerns about water safety and environmental health. When using PURE POND balls as a maintenance product, especially when added once a month into your filter, the balls will help to maintain crystal clear and healthy water.
What is the difference between cheap and expensive pool balls?
High-quality billiard balls are a worthy investment for you and your family. A fine set of balls costs between $100 – $200 but lasts much longer than the $20-$50 set you find at the local department store. The high quality balls withstand enthusiastic play without losing elasticity or damaging the cloth of your table. High-quality phenolic resin billiard balls can last for decades with proper care, while lower-quality options may require replacement every few years to maintain optimal playability.
