Why is it important for my pool chemical levels to be correct?

Keeping the right levels in your pool allows for a safe and healthy swimming environment. Not enough chlorine or chemicals can create a haven for bacteria and create unsanitary conditions.

Too many chemicals can cause a harmful environment and dryness of skin, hair and eyes.

How often do I need to backwash my filter?

For swimming pools equipped with a D.E. filter, we recommend backwashing the filter when the pressure reaches 10PSI above starting pressure or once a month.

How long should I run my pool equipment?

We suggest running your filter system 6 to 8 hours per day. When water temperatures start to climb above 80°, run the system 8 to 12 hours per day.

How often do I need to clean my skimmer and pump baskets?

A dirty or clogged skimmer basket restricts water flow. If water can’t flow through your skimmer, your pool can’t circulate properly and that could cause problems down the road. The same is true of your pump basket. If water is restricted the pump can overheat. Clean skimmer baskets daily and inspect for cracks, replacing if needed.
