The pool pump also offers a safe guard to the filter by its strainer basket. This catches large matter before it can arrive in the filter. The basket should be kept clean because buildup will raise the filter pressure.

A popular type of automatic pool cleaner is pressure-side. These cleaners use the pressure from a pool's circulation system to move and built-in hydraulic power to suck up debris.

Pool filters have inflow and outflow hoses. The outflow hose comes out of the pool in the direction of the filter and sucks the water out of the pool. When the water goes through the filter, matter is captured and the cleaned water is put back into the pool by the inflow hose.

Chlorine is the number one disinfecting agent in swimming pools. The chlorine compounds mix with water, producing a reaction that kills not only bacteria but other pathogens as well.

Calcium can collect inside the tubes of pool heaters, restricting water flow and hindering proper heating. If this happens, the tubes should be professionally cleaned or replaced.

As part of a regular pool maintenance plan, it's important to regularly inspect your pool hoses for signs of wear and tear. We offer a wide range of replacement hoses to ensure that your pool is operating at top efficiency.

Did you know that an electric heat element works the same as a heating kettle-through direct heat transfer between element and pool water? These are usually ideal for smaller-sized pools.

If you own a hot tub, test strips provide an accurate way to test for pH and alkaline levels despite the high temperature and low water volume. Here, you can get a fast, accurate measurement every time.

It's important to note the size of your pool when determining the right amount of hose to get for your cleaner. Not using enough hose will leave sections of the pool vulnerable to contaminant buildup.

A great way to remove dirt and algae from your pool's surface is with a pool brush. These come in a variety of sizes and duty levels so that you are able to use the most effective tool for your specific pool's needs.

The pump should be ran as long as it takes to cycle all the water through the system as the time for this will vary based on the size of your pool, the plumbing, and the pump. Generally, we recommend running the pump in 6 to 8 hour cycles.

Pool skimmers also help in the maintenance of your pool. Skimmers remove the larger debris from the pool and help extend the life of the pool filter by leaving only smaller debris to be filtered.

A sand filter relies on sand to clean the water in your swimming pool. If you choose this popular filter system, remember that regular backwashing will be necessary. While this type of filter works well, it doesn't remove the smallest particles of dirt.
