Products - Equipment Pool Tips

Cleaners

· An automatic pool cleaner will dramatically reduce the time spent on weekly maintenance.

· If you fill your pool with well water, you'll need to add a metal remover.

Filters

· When cleaning cartridge filters, soak them in a cleaning solution for 24 hours, then hose them off before reinstalling.

· D.E. filters should be disassembled and cleaned at least once per season.

· If your sand filter is 3-5 years old, ask your pool professional if it's time to replace the sand.

· If your filter pressure gauge indicates that pressure has dropped below the normal reading for a clean filter, check to see if you have a clogged pump or skimmer basket.

· Clean your sand or D.E. filters when you close your pool for the season.

· To obtain maximum filtration and energy efficiency, backwash or clean your filter regularly, as required.

Gaskets, O-rings & Rubber Fittings

· If your pool has a deck-mounted junction box, check the condition of the gaskets regularly–and replace as needed–to make sure the box cannot be penetrated by water.

· When closing your pool for the season, coat all accessible o-rings, rubber fittings, and gaskets with a silicone O-ring lube to keep them from drying out.

Heaters

· To maintain your heater's efficiency, follow a regular program of preventive maintenance, including annual inspection and de-liming of the heat exchanger when necessary.

Lighting

· The addition of fiber optic or automated color-changing lighting can dramatically enhance your nighttime pool enjoyment.

Pumps

· Turn the pool pump off before operating the multi-port valve.

· If your pump starts running louder or making unusual noises, shut it off and contact your pool professional.

· Make a habit of checking and emptying skimmer and pump baskets regularly.

Skimmers

· Check to make sure the skimmer weir is in place and is moving freely.

· Make a habit of checking and emptying skimmer and pump baskets regularly.
