After The Storm...

Follow these tips after severe weather, to get your pool on the road for normal use.

• Immediately remove branches, mulch and other foreign matter from the pool before you run the pump to prevent clogging the suction lines. If you have to enter your pool to clear debris, make sure you wear shoes to avoid injury to your feet.

• If you lost power during the storm, remember to reset your circuit breakers and pump timer(s) when electricity is restored.

• Remove any covering from the motor or other equipment to allow for airfl ow. If the pump motor has been submerged, it should be removed for professional cleaning and drying.

• Return the pool water to its proper level. Empty the pump and skimmer baskets and open the appropriate valves to allow water to circulate properly when the pump is turned back on.

• Super-chlorinate the pool and circulate continuously until clarity returns. Clean or backwash filters often; and recharge with new D.E. if applicable. There will be a higher volume of debris and particulate in the water than normal and your filter will need more attention for a few days.

Contact us to have your pool watert analyzed and re-balanced as quickly as possible. After any rain, circulate the pool for at least a couple of hours prior to collecting a sample. This will combine the chemically treated water with the rainwater to ensure an accurate sample.

• Repair or replace any screens, doors, fences or gates used to prevent children from entering your pool unattended.
