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
Your techs did an awesome job!

5 star rating!
We are very happy with the work.
Moyer & Sons fills and has filled a number of our needs as home owners. They retrofitted our 1947 Cape Cod with central air conditioning. Their plumbing services have replaced sump pumps, installed a water powered backup sump pump (saved the day during the Nor’easters of a few years back), replaced our on-demand water heater when the one that came with the house started leaking, maintained our furnace and A/C, replaced outdoor faucet connections, it’s a pretty long list.
Recently, they replaced our oil tank, since the one we had was most likely original to the house (1947, remember?). They arrived on time, removed the old tank from the basement, installed a new tank, tested it, and cleaned up after themselves before leaving. We are very happy with the work.
Moyer knows their stuff.
Save your money and time with DIY attempts at controlling the spotted lanternflies. Moyer knows their stuff. They have a year-round treatment plan that works. It’s terrific.
