Cleaning Your Pool

You should regularly

  • skim the pool surface

You should also brush down the water line and clean the stairs of stains and grease.

Q: What can I use to clean my pool?
A: To clean around the water line and stairs, using any non-abrasive pool cleaning chemical.

Q. When should I clean my filter?
A. Filters should be cleaned annually and can be cleaned with a cleaning solution, following the directions on the label carefully.

Q. There are air bubbles shooting out of my jets. What is wrong?
A. The most common cause is a dirty filter that needs to be cleaned or backwashed. Other problems could be a loose pump lid, bad lid gasket, improperly tightened pump frost plugs, or debris in the pump impellor. If the problem persists call your service company.

Q. I noticed sand in my pool in front of my jets. What’s wrong?
A. A large amount of sand could mean there is a problem internally with your filter, either in the tank or filter head. Call a service technician.
