Pool Tips For Beginners
THE BASICS
To keep your pool beautifully clear, sparkling, and ready for swimming, there are a few basic maintenance steps to be aware of. We will be going over pool functions and upkeep of your pool below. If you have any questions give Splash Pools a call and we’ll guide your way.
Your Pool Pump
What does a pool pump do? It moves water through the pool filter to remove any debris and dirt from the water, and then sends it back to the pool. The entire circulation system is based on the pump. If your pump is not running, your pool water is not being filtered and circulated. Keeping the pump active and circulating is the best way to prevent problems.
How long should you run your pump? It depends on your pool and piping size, amount of water, and the pump size. For proper direction and timing to run your pump, contact your Navarre pool professionals. We can determine the proper timing for your pump to keep your pool clean.
What is a Filtration System?
The job of your pool’s filtration system is to remove any dirt and debris that has not dissolved in your pool. Your filtration system is based on the filter itself, although your skimmer basket also plays a role in filtering your pool water. Many filters require backwashing, a type of preventative maintenance, when your pressure gauge rises. Always consult with a professional before attempting to clean or replace your filter.
There are a few different types of filters that are used in swimming pools. Consult with Splash Pools to understand how to keep your pool clean and discuss which filter you have or need. We will work with you to keep your pool maintained correctly.
Testing The Pool
It is required to test your pool 2-3 times a week during the Summer and at least once a week during Winter season to maintain water levels and sanitization to insure your swimming safety. Proper testing can be complicated, as it involves balancing the pH of the water, calcium levels, alkalinity, testing for metals and more.
