Pool Inspections<\/h3>\n

We offer a comprehensive visual pool inspection completed by a Certified Pool Operator. All inspections include a detailed report with pictures and recommendations. The CPO completing the inspection will:<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  • Inspect equipment for proper operation<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Identify any needed repairs\/improvements to pumps, heaters, liners and plumbing<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Alert you of any safety concerns including faulty wiring, poorly attached ladders, failing steps, loose railings, dangerous diving boards and unsafe deck surfaces<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Filter Cleanings<\/h3>\n

    Keeping up with proper maintenance of your pool filter is important, and while maintaining its cleanliness is a key element of pool maintenance, the cartridge will eventually need to be replaced. Here\u2019s how to tell if your pool filter needs to be cleaned, or if it\u2019s time to toss it and get a new one.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    When to Clean the Pool Filter Cartridge<\/span><\/h4>\n
      \n
    • The pool filter cartridge needs to be cleaned whenever the filter pressure gauge increases by around 8 PSI, or pounds per square inch, above the normal operating pressure.<\/span><\/li>\n
    • Another rule of thumb is at the very least to clean the cartridge every six months. Keeping a schedule is an easy way to make sure the cartridge cleaning gets taken care of.<\/span><\/li>\n
    • Outside of these two factors, if there\u2019s a change in the water quality you\u2019ll want to inspect the filter cartridge. It may just be in need of a good cleaning.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      When to Replace A Pool Filter Cartridge<\/span><\/h4>\n

      The time frame for how long a cartridge lasts can range, typically about 3 \u2013 5 years. There are other determining factors though to keep an eye on to know if it\u2019s time to replace your pool filter cartridge. Here are a few of the tell-tale signs it\u2019s time for a new cartridge.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

        \n
      • Changing Water Quality: <\/b>If the pool water remains cloudy or green even after balancing chemicals, it\u2019s time to check the filter cartridge. Each time a filter cartridge is cleaned, the cartridge\u2019s fibers wear down and separate a bit more, allowing finer dirt and debris to pass through.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
      • Increased Cleaning Frequency: <\/b>Once you notice the pressure gauge rising above 8 PSI more often, it\u2019s most likely time for the cartridge to be replaced. Make sure to keep note of when you last cleaned your cartridge so that you can monitor the frequency of when it\u2019s cleaned. A good rule of thumb is when it needs to be cleaned in about half the time it used to be, it\u2019s time to replace it.<\/span><\/li>\n
      • Damaged Filter:<\/b> Each time you clean your filter, you should inspect it for any tears or damage in the fabric. If damaged, the filter can\u2019t properly filter debris out, leaving you with a dirty pool.<\/span><\/li>\n
      • Check Filter Bands: <\/b>Cartridge filters have horizontal bands around them to keep the pleats spaced correctly. If the bands are loose, falling off or missing, the filter should be replaced.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        Salt Cell Replacements<\/h3>\n

        Salt cells are an excellent and efficient way to sanitize your pool, and remember, a healthy pool is a happy pool! Most salt cells should be cleaned AT LEAST every three months. At Pool Scouts, we don\u2019t cut corners. We don\u2019t simply rinse off your salt cells, as this is not an effective way to remove the organic and chemical buildup in your system. We use the proper solvents and techniques to remove as much of that \u201cstuff\u201d as possible from your system.<\/span><\/p>\n

        When to Replace a Salt Cell<\/span><\/h4>\n

        Here are a few indications that your salt cell likely needs cleaned, repaired or replaced:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

          \n
        • The power center displays a Check Salt message. However, a water sample shows normal salt levels.<\/span><\/li>\n
        • The Cell Warning light displays consistently, shutting off for only a short while after cleaning.<\/span><\/li>\n
        • The voltage is higher than normal.<\/span><\/li>\n
        • Amperage is irregular (it should normally be zero or just slightly above)<\/span><\/li>\n
        • The SCG isn\u2019t producing chlorine (which could potentially indicate a cell issue)<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

          Winter Pool Services<\/h3>\n

          \"CoupleThere are many benefits to maintaining your pool throughout the winter months, including avoiding potential complications, having the view of a beautifully clean pool during the dreary cold months, and getting your pool swim-ready much more quickly at the start of swim season.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

            \n
          • Remove water & debris from solid pool cover<\/li>\n
          • Remove excess water from pool (if you have a mesh cover)<\/li>\n
          • Add shock and algaecide<\/li>\n
          • Check plugs<\/li>\n
          • Check Cover<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
