Set and Forget: Pool Time Clocks

Increased automation in pool equipment has made it a lot easier to maintain a clean and well-functioning swimming pool throughout the season. There have been a number of improvements in pool pumps, heaters, and filters that allow pool owners to keep their pool water looking and feeling great at all times. When it comes to pool system automation, one of the more underrated, yet simple and convenient pieces of pool equipment happens to be a pool time clock. With a pool time clock, pool owners may never have to worry about directly controlling their pool system again. A time clock specifically designed for pools will feature a number of functions that make managing a pool system easy. Features like multiple On/Off operations, waterproof casing and high electrical load capacity make a pool clock timer the ideal add-on for any pool system.

Energy Savings
Pool pumps and motors, along with heaters and filtration systems can take a lot of energy to keep running. Some pool owners may choose to manually deactivate their pumps from time to time, but in the hustle and bustle of daily life, it can be difficult to remember to turn the pool on and off all the time. If the pump and filter are not running enough, the pool water can get dirty, while the heater has to work harder and take up more energy to keep the water temperature regulated. On the other hand, a pool system that is constantly running will quickly lead to higher energy bills. A pool time clock can help pool owners keep their pool at an optimal state while cutting energy costs thanks to automatic On/Off functions.

Convenience
The last thing anyone wants to worry about when they're on vacation is whether or not they left the pool running. While there are other ways to manage your pool system while you're away from home, the most reliable and simple method is to program a pool clock timer. For little to no extra cost compared to other automated pool systems, a simple pool time clock installation can add a great deal of convenience to your day-to-day pool system management.

Pool and Spa Main Drain Repairs

While it is often referred to as a main drain, the main drain in your pool or spa doesn't actually let you empty your pool or spa. Instead, this 'drain' allows for water to be pumped out of the pool and through the plumbing system. Water that exits through the main drain is often sent through a filtration system that is controlled by your pool or spa pump and returned via your pool or spa jets or inlets. If something should go wrong with your pool or spa main drain such as a clog or cracked pipe, this can lead to some major inefficiencies with the rest of your pool's equipment. Since the main drain is usually located at the lowest point of a pool or spa, it may not often get as much notice when something goes wrong. To help you determine when it's time to call for pool and spa main drain repairs, take a look at some examples of common issues listed below. Increased Suction Sometimes a main drain will remove water at an accelerated rate because another one

Tree Root Problems With My Pool, What Do I Need To Do? This truly is a very extreme picture of damage tree roots can do to your pool, your deck, and your plumbing! Most of the time, the damage is much more subtle.   You might have a higher water bill (roots cause leaks).   You might notice that your salt cell can’t keep up with the chemistry (leaks caused by roots have the effect of taking the chemicals with the water running out)   We have had tree roots undermine and break up concrete pool decks, we’ve also seen roots come right through the pool walls, skimmers, tile, coping, and actually grow down the plumbing lines. I swear that some tree roots can "smell" the water in the pool, and make a beeline for it, stretching it's branches out until it pokes a hole, and busts up the floor or walls of your pool.   Usually you will notice something is “strange” long before it becomes this severe.   The first warning you may have is that your pool starts lea

Cleaning vs Replacing Waterline Tiles

A great looking swimming pool is always a positive feature on any property. Like a fresh cut lawn or a newly painted house, a pristine swimming pool is an eye-catching feature that will improve the overall appearance of any yard. Over time however, certain parts of your pool's appearance may start to decline. Waterline tiles are often prone to some type of deterioration over time. In many cases, proper pool care and regular cleaning can help maintain your pool surfaces, but eventually you may need to replace your waterline tiles entirely. To help you determine when its time to replace or simply clean and/or repair the waterline tiles in your pool, take a look at the helpful tips written below.
