Q:Why is it important for my pool chemical and water levels to be correct?
A:Keeping the right levels in your pool allows for a safe and healthy swimming environment. Not enough chlorine or chemicals can create a haven for bacteria and create unsanitary conditions. Too many chemicals can cause a harmful environment and dryness of skin, hair and eyes.

Q:What do I do to maintain my pool lighting?
A:The best way to maintain pool lighting is by cleaning the light covers, replacing old bulbs and keeping leaves and other debris from touching the lights.

 

Q: How often should my pool filter be cleaned?
A:For swimming pools equipped with a D.E. filter, we recommended the filter be backwashed when the pressure reaches 10 PSI above starting pressure or once a month. For cartridge filters, we recommend cleaning the cartridge at least once a month.

 

Q:Why is my pool or spa water green or brown?
A: Algae growth on the walls or floor of your pool can give the water a murky green, brown, or even black tint. Sailfish Pools can restore crystal clear water to your pool. We’ll remove the algae from the pool surfaces and then add the proper balance of chemicals to prevent the algae from returning. In some instances, special chemicals may be required.

 

Q: Why is my pool pump making very loud noises?
A: Typically the loud noise coming from the pump signifies that the motor needs replaced. This is also true if your pump keeps tripping the breaker.
