Tip - Let Your Pool Breathe
Pool covers are ideal to keep debris out and heat in. But it's always a good idea to frequently remove the cover even in the winter to let your pool breathe. Chlorine can build up and with the cover on has no place to escape to, and has numerous effects including confusing automatic filtration systems and staining your pool

Saltwater Pools
We install our pools with a salt chlorination system. Although you don’t add chlorine to a saltwater pool, it does still produce chlorine. It just has a smaller amount that’s generated through the chlorination system. A saltwater pool contains 10 times less salt than the ocean. There’s around 3,000 ppm salinity in a saltwater pool, that's about the same concentration as in human tears. By comparison, there’s 35,000 ppm in the ocean 1. Saltwater pools are gentler on your body and clothing 2. There is no harsh chlorine smell 3. The water is softer 4. You don’t need to store chlorine 5. They cost less to maintain
Tip - Cartridge Health
If you're noticing a decrease in water flow performance and have a cartridge filter, it could be a build up of fats in the filter from sunscreen or hair products etc. To help reduce this problem put a spa disc in the skimmer box - making sure your basket is always in place so the disc does not get sucked through the system. They can be removed and cleaned with warm water and detergent to re-use
Tip - Water Health
In hot weather your pools water level can drop considerably. Make sure to keep your pool topped up to midway in your skimmer box. Having a low water level risks your pump running dry and a costly replacement
