How often should I backwash?
You should backwash your pool when your filter pressure gauge reads 8 to 10 PSI over the starting level. It doesn’t hurt to backwash once per week when performing your weekly water testing maintenance.
How often should I run my pool?
We recommend running your pool for a minimum of 8 hours per day. During a heatwave you should aim for 12+ hours.
How often should I balance my pool water?
You should balance your pool water a minimum of once per week, but it is best to test your chlorine and pH levels twice a week.
What does it mean if I smell a strong chlorine odor?
A strong chlorine odor is caused by chloramines in the pool water and an oxidizing shock should be added to the pool to resolve this issue.
When should I open my pool?
You should open your pool two to three weeks before you plan to swim. It takes a minimum of two weeks to get the pool water balanced and debris cleared up for the pool to be safe for swimming.
Should I use a tarp or a solid safety cover when closing my pool?
Solid pool safety covers keep out debris and sunlight and make for a cleaner pool opening. Tarp covers often rip and are not designed to hold weight. If a child or pet were to walk on a tarp cover, they would sink through the tarp.
What Our Customers Say
Most impressive local firm I could find to help us out a tough and desperate situation.
Just had a new furnace / boiler installed in my house. I must commend the Moyer team of Thad and Dan for an excellent job…very neat and clean installation. The old furnace was poofing soot , and yet they removed the old unit cleanly without a spec of dirt from the removal. The installation of the new unit was very professionally done and all the plumbing work looks almost like a work of modern art. Kudos to the whole Moyer team also Jim Smith in sales…who promptly came to our assistance with several alternatives and clear explanations of each different furnaces. His follow through in helping us decide and arrange financing was a great help. Looking forward to years of using Moyer Indoor / Outdoor for our furnace maintenance and as our NEW oil supplier… Most impressive local firm I could find to help us out a tough and desperate situation.. Thanks to all of you who made it a great experience.
