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
I would strongly recommend Moyer for my friends and family.
I was referred to Moyer by a long time friend who had used them and was very satisfied. I called Mike T 3 years ago to get a quote on converting my oil heat and hot water to gas and he came down made some recommendations and left. He was very friendly, professional and knowledgeable. I told Mike that I was not ready to buy now but when I was ready, he would be first on my list to call. He made a few reasonable follow up calls but basically left me alone. 3 years later I was ready, I called Mike and we started up again. He came down and re-quoted and interestingly, the price was almost identical. A few weeks later I gave him the go ahead and we got the ball rolling. He told me to call PECO and that they would take 4-6 weeks to come out to do the gas hook up. After PECO arrived several weeks later, I called Mike and let him know. Art then scheduled the time for the guys to come and install the system. The guys showed up on time and each of them introduced themselves to me. I am naturally a skeptical person and I am leery about having strangers in my house for 3 days so I decided to work from home at least the first day. After seeing how professional they were, I let them have unfettered access to my house without me being there. The completely covered the basement floor with drop cloths and had all their tools laid out in a neat and orderly fashion. I checked in on them a few times and they seemed to get along with each other well. They didn’t smoke or curse in my house. They were true professionals. On the second and third day, they called me to tell me they were finished. With the exception of 2 new pieces of equipment in my basement, you would never know they were there.
I would strongly recommend Moyer for my friends and family. They live the saying I used to have hanging on my office wall ” A referral is sending someone you know and trust to someone you know and love”.
Highly satisfied customer here!!
We have been a Moyer customer for over 20 years for oil delivery and pest control. Moyer just replaced our oil tank. The guys were great! They were very respectful of my home when removing and installing the new tank in our basement. They were courteous, friendly, and explained everything I needed to know about the installation and operation of the new tank. Highly satisfied customer here!!
They were punctual, communicative with every step along the way...
Moyer Indoor/Outdoor installers (Tim & Dan) are the utmost professional installers I’ve ever experienced! They were punctual, communicative with every step along the way, they didn’t blare loud music, raise their voices or use inappropriate language. I appreciated they were respectful by wearing booties on their feet along with having drop cloths leading from my front door to the basement. Tim went above and beyond keeping me updated when it was apparent the install was going to need an extra day. Tim explained the new Heat pump system to me in layman’s terms which I understood. On a scale of 1-10, Tim & Dan deserve a score of 1000!
