Pool Filter Service and Cleaning
Depending on your pool, your filter needs to be cleaned every 3 to 6 months. This is in addition to backwashing which should be done for DE and Sand Filters on a regular basis. Servicing a Pool Filter takes anywhere from 1 to 2 hours, depending on type.
- DE Filters should be backwashed and Recharged as their pressure raises 8 to 10 PSI from their full cleaning/rebuild.
- Sand Filters should be backwashed regularly or at least when the PSI has increased 8-10 above install pressure. Sand Filter Media should last 5 years plus.
- Cartridge Filters - Cannot be backwashed and should be taken apart and manually washed when they are 10 PSI above New. Cartridge elements should be replaced when damaged, or when flow rates are reduced even when filter has been cleaned. This depends on pool use.
Pool Algae Problems - Green Pools
The best way to handle algae is to NOT let it get started in the first place by having a weekly service account. Due to the warmth in Yuma and general good conditions for algae that exist here, it's very easy for your your pool to green up. There are few things better to rid a pool of algae than regular professional cleaning and maintenance. Algae destroys pool surfaces, so it's best NOT to let it take over. Algae populations will double in size every 24 hours in the right conditions, so a tiny spot of green or black can get out of hand in a matter of days.
If you have algae;
- Get a 10 point NSF water test.
- Shock the pool with 10 to 20 ppm Chlorine if test warrants
- Brush down the sides and bottom of the pool to release anchored algae.
- Clean the pool filter
- Run the pump for 24 hours
- Retest the water and shock AGAIN if necessary.
- Clean the pool filter
- Adjust borates
- Be CAREFUL with algaecides as many of them are copper based and they can STAIN your pool even if used properly.
We believe the best way to handle an algae problem it to call a CPO Certified pool man to handle it. It may takes days to restore a pool back to clear water.
Cloudy Pool Water
Pool water should be CLEAR. You should be able to clearly see the pool drain from the waters edge. Cloudy water could indicate potential harmful conditions. Possible causes of cloudy water;
- Temporary chemical reactions after pool servicing
- Lack of sufficient Chlorine levels
- Lack of sufficient pool pump time
- Clogged, dirty or defective filter
- Bio Organism growth
Green Hair or Nails
Most people think green hair or nails is caused by the chlorine in the water. This is likely incorrect. Hair, nail and pool surface staining is usually caused by the presence of metals in the water. Copper, Iron etc. This requires proper testing of the water to narrow down. Call me we'll figure it out.
Chlorine Smell
If your are smelling chlorine around your pool that is an indication that your pool water is out of balance. Chlorine smell in NOT actually caused by chlorine but by combined chlorine which is chlorine bound by waste products in your water. This is typically a combination of urine and chlorine. Contrary to what most people think Chlorine smell usually means you need more chlorine NOT less or you have other water quality issues.
Schedule a 10 point test and we'll figure it out together.
Burning Eyes or Irritated Skin and Eyes
This is commonly attributed to chlorine, but typically is actually caused by chloramines, just like the chlorine smell it may be caused by to little chlorine as opposed to too much. Causes of skin irritation are;
- pH Imbalance
- Chlorine imbalance
- Combination of factors
Schedule a 10 point NSF water test and we'll figure it out together.
