Choose a pool professional which offers a water testing facility. Water testing facilities can analyze your water samples through computer analysis. The results are easy and quick to retrieve. Most of the larger pool companies offer their services free of charge if you bought the pool from them.
-
Listen to excessive pump noise. Pump noises are a sign of possible problems in your pool. Most of the new pumps that we have now are units which do not require close maintenance. Composition or rubber pump seals can go bad causing possible electrical shortness and failure in the bearing.
-
Clean you pool regularly. If you’re pool is often used by a lot of people, it is ideal to clean and
disinfect your pools at least once a week. You can use bleach solution to scrub off stains. If rust stains are present, simply use a rust remover for a quick and convenient clean up. -
Check your pressure gauge closely and regularly. A high pressure is usually an indication of pool pump strains and an inefficient filter system. If you have an inoperative pressure gauge, you will find it hard to tell when water starts to build up from the normal level which is indicated by an efficient filter.
- It is highly recommended that you use green cleaning products.
