Basic Pool Water Care Advice

  • Your Pool Filter should run at least 8 to 12 hours per day (24 hours per day is best).
  • Set your pool timer or remember to run the pool manually if you don’t have a timer.
  • If you are not running your pool 24 hours per day, it is best to have it running during the daylight hours to ensure the proper sanitization of your water.
  • Keep skimmer baskets free of debris. This will improve circulation and water filtration.
  • Talk with our specialists to determine the best mechanism for deploying chlorine/bromine into your pool.
  • Be sure to maintain proper sanitizer levels to keep your water clear and clean.
