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.

My propane pilot light went out at the worst possible time. Thankfully, your tech was so responsive it was back up and running in no time. Can’t thank you enough.

I wouldn’t recommend anyone else for your plumbing needs!

Paul and Jacob did a great job of re-piping some drain pipes. Had a minor leak later that evening which ended up being a manufacturer error with a catch drain. Within 20 mins of calling on 2 separate occasions (at first it seemed to be fixed by tightening some bolts) Jim came out. He was really personable and it’s apparent he genuinely cares. Plus, my dog loved him (my dog is not typically friendly with strangers). This meant I didn’t have to worry about locking him up! Overall, I’ve used Moyer for other services and they are always excellent. I’ve had numerous horrible experiences with other plumbing companies and contractors who didn’t care about customer satisfaction and who clearly only cared about making a profit. Moyer employees are honest, punctual, reasonably priced, and provide quality service. I wouldn’t recommend anyone else for your plumbing needs!
