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

...they got it done neatly and quickly with no interruption of heat.

August 17, 2021

Lately our 20 year old home has needed multiple upgrades and it’s so nice to have reliable and competent people to work with. Moyer has recently fixed our water softener, replaced our well water tank and after an oil burner cleaning noticed oil under our tanks. The two tanks had to go ASAP and they got it done neatly and quickly with no interruption of heat.

Not only does Jeremy know mechanical, but electronics too! He got me up and running in no time and no damage was done. I want the Moyers to know how valuable it is to have someone who knows his stuff. My thanks to Jeremy and the whole Moyer crew
