01 Pool Upkeep Chandler Arizona
Filter maintenance is essential for all swimming pool owners. The true workhorse of any swimming pool is the filter. This keeps your pool looking great, removes debris and dirt, and keeps your pool water circulatin. However, your pool filter is not going to be able to do its job by itself. You need to keep your system of filtration running at peak performance and you must get the right work done otherwise you can end up with a pool turned green.
02 Diatomaceous Earth Filters
Also known as DE filters, these are similar to sandy filters using a granular, fine type of medium. Just like the sand filter, there are pressure gauges on the DE filters and when the pressure gets too high, this will require back washing. DE filters need to be back washed fewer times than sand filters. Each time we backwash your filter, we will need to add new DE for the best results.
03 Cartridge Filters
These capture pool water impurities and use removable cartridges within your pool water. Cartridge filters have more surface areas compared to other types of filtration. This means they are not as prone to clogging.
Less pressure is also necessary for a cartridge filter to work and although you most likely paid more upfront for this type of filtration, you will spend less on routine maintenance down the road. For most pool owners, this is a worthy trade-off. Depending on the size of your pool and how often you swim, rinse your filter off every three weeks. Replace cartridges every few years. Feeling unsure? Give us a call and we can schedule an appointment.
04 Pool Pumps
Fairly durable by design, pool pumps for the pool are made to survive rain, sunlight, cold, and heat. Of course, there are still elements that may cause damage to your pool pump or cause its performance to degrade in which we do offer pool pump repairs for those cases.
- Freeze damage - freeze protection is required for all swimming pool pumps if the temperature outside drops to thirty-eight degrees. Keep an eye on your pool when the weather begins to get cold and make sure that you have activated freeze protection.
- Seal leak - mechanical seal leaks on your pump may begin leaking water on the motor shaft which will travel to the motor's front bearings and will ruin the bearings. This will produce a high, shrill noise and very high-pitched. It can also produce a more grinding noise. No matter which type of noise you hear, give us a call immediately.
- Loss of prime - if your pool pump runs without any flowing water through it, you will need to give your pool service company or us a call immediately to get it re-primed. If the pump runs for fifteen minutes without prime, it will begin heating the pump hot water. If this happens for a prolonged period, the water can begin to boil and damage the components of the pump.
- Broken/full trap baskets - make sure your trap baskets are emptied to keep the pump flowing properly. Replace any basket showing signs of damage. Even small trap basket cracks can get material through which results in clogged impellers. Give us a call if you hear your pool pump behaving oddly or emitting a strange sound.
05 Sand Filters
These are a popular and affordable choice for in ground swimming pools and above-ground pools. Water passes through thick pool-grade sand as it goes into the filter. The sand traps debris and dirt and the clear, clean water flows back into the pool. Eventually, all the pool's debris and dirt build-up on your sandy filter and cause it to work with less efficiency. Give us a call and we can schedule a maintenance check on your pool's sand filter anytime that is convenient for you.
06 Sand Changes
Sand filters are the most low-maintenance, inexpensive, and efficient types of filter which rarely clog. This type of filter works well and is easy on the wallet. You get pool water that is crystal clear and all you need to do is make sure the sand is swapped ever few years. Filter sand has been ground to about .55mm in diameter and when new, is fairly rough.
The rough texture is what causes filtration to be quite efficient as it filters out dirt and particles in the water. With time, the sand gets smoother, and to accomplish the same task, you may need to run your system with more frequency.
After a few years, you will need to increase the amount of sanitizer you use, and thus, frequent sand changes are going to be to your advantage. We can help schedule maintenance for your sand changes, so you don't have to spend all your time thinking about your pool filter. We do all the hard work for you.
07 Salt System
Those who have a saltwater pool will need to keep pool equipment, the skimmer, pump, and filter clean and in perfect working condition. When your pool has salt water, it is necessary to have inspections done on the salt chlorinator cell and necessary replacement, if needed.
Regularly test for the right chemistry of water to maintain a clear, clean pool system. Our team uses test strips for salt water. We test your water for pH levels, salt, and chlorine as well as the total hardness, stabilizer, and alkalinity. We use our water chemistry calculator to make all the proper adjustments and ensure perfect balance in your pool water.
Maintaining a pool is important for safety and hygiene reasons
It is risky to swim in an uncleaned pool. Although not all dangers are visible, some lurking bacteria can be hazardous. It is also important for maintaining the quality of the water, so it does not become difficult to see through or unpleasant smelling. This article details how you can maintain your swimming pool properly.
Oxygenate and Sanitize
The addition of chlorine tablets will sanitize the pool by getting rid of microorganisms that cause odor and health hazards like skin rashes or infections. Sanitation should be done after weekly pool service before making any repairs on the equipment or the skimmer since these objects tend to accumulate algae spores and dirt after a while.
Do a Thorough Cleaning
Just cleaning up debris from time to time is not always enough to keep your swimming pool in good condition. You must sometimes give it a thorough cleaning to remove algae and other growths that can cause health problems for swimmers. Harsh pool chemicals should be avoided, so use environmentally-friendly products instead when possible. This may involve complete draining and cleaning of the pool if we're doing a green pool cleanup.
Clean Filter Debris
Cleaning the filter is important because clogged filters speed up the process of wear and tear which endangers its performance over time. Cleaning out debris from time to time prolongs its life span significantly. If you have a sand filter you can either backwash or you may need to change out the sand completely if it had been awhile. Itis suggested you change out your filter sand at least once a year for optimum performance. If you have a cartridge filter cleaning is simple: just use a garden hose to spray water on the surfaces of these equipment parts, then wipe them with absorbent towels to soak up any dirt and debris. Use chlorine tablets as needed based on your Ph test findings after the pool pump is cleaned.
Pool maintenance will keep your pool looking good and working properly
It also prevents anyone from being injured due to the unsafe condition of water infested with microorganisms. The process may sound time-consuming, but doing it once every few weeks is actually easier and faster than having to repair broken equipment later on..
Keeping Your Pool Clean
Pool maintenance seems like a long list of chores to do for many people; however, since almost all the things that need to be done are relatively easy, this should not discourage you at all. Even if you hire someone like Pool Cleaner Chandler AZ to take care of your pool cleaning service needs, you still have to know what work has been done previously (if any) so that you can get in touch with the right person when something goes wrong. If you do decide to clean your pool by yourself then follow these steps.
Maintenance Tips:
- Clean the pool filter every month or two to ensure that the flow of water is not hampered.
- Make sure to check for any cracks in the shell or roof so that you can have them repaired on time. Also, make sure your filtration system works properly.
- If you are using an automatic chlorination system then clean and sanitize it once a week instead of adding chlorine directly into your swimming pool when needed. If not, just add chlorine as needed by following proper instructions and techniques.
- Check the pool walls for any cracks or loose parts.
- Make sure there is no leaf litter in the area surrounding your swimming pool. If there are, then clean them up regularly and also keep the trees pruned near your swimming pool or deck in order to help prevent debris from entering your pool.
These maintenance tips will help you to keep your swimming pool in good condition so that you can enjoy many years of use out of this wonderful amenity. Just make it a point to perform these tasks every now and then and you will not have problems with algae, mold or similar contaminants floating around in the water that you swim in. It is important that you understand what kind of additives should be utilized before each use by performing a Ph balance test. Otherwise is you don't want the hassle of doing all the work yourself then give us a call for the best pool service companies in the Chandler, Arizona area!
The cost of maintaining a pool can vary depending on what type of equipment you have
The most basic type of swimming pool filter is mechanical filtration, meaning that it uses physical means to clean out particles from the water. This can be done through screen-like materials such as "pool mesh" or through a sand system where the water passes through the sand and is cleaned as it passes through.
In this type of system, you need a pool cleaner who can make sure that when the water flows over your filter sand that it goes through it completely before returning to the pool or spa chamber. This process will result in your filter sand becoming clogged with debris such as organic matter, hair, bugs, leaves, and so on. When this happens you will have dirtier pool water since more contaminants remain in your swimming pool or spa than if it is properly filtered. This will require a backwash or even a sand change if the sand has a lot of contaminants in it. You will know when you need to do one or the other when the pressure coming out of the pump is weak.
Pools need routine maintenance for safety reasons as well
A properly maintained pool helps you swim, exercise, and entertain your family plus friends in a safe environment free of germs or contaminants that can cause illness or infection. When you contact Pool Cleaner Chandler AZ for every service we provide from start to finish you will experience success with all of your swimming pool care needs. A lack of regular maintenance allows unattended problems such as algae growths, dirt particles, and other debris to slowly build up over time making it difficult if not impossible to keep the water smelling clean and looking its best. As an example, if you don't have any kind of automatic chlorinator system then at least make sure that someone takes care of this chore regularly by adding liquid chlorine or chlorine tablets into the pool water. It is not necessary to add chlorine to the pool water if you have an automatic chlorination system installed.
This will keep your swimming pool in top shape and full of clean, clear blue water without all the hassle or worry on your part. Regularly checking for any cracks in the shell or pump area will ensure that these problems are fixed upon discovery instead of waiting till they are completely out of hand costing you more money and time than if taken care of immediately.
