Pool Scouts also offers additional maintenance services needed every so often to keep your pool sparkling blue. Below highlights the additional maintenance services we provide.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Pool Inspections<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">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<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Inspect equipment for proper operation<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Identify any needed repairs\/improvements to pumps, heaters, liners and plumbing<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">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<h3>Filter Cleanings<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">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. We offer filter cleanings on both cartridge and DE filters. 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. <\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">WHEN TO CLEAN THE POOL FILTER CARTRIDGE\u00a0<\/span><\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">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<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">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<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">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<h4><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">WHEN TO REPLACE A POOL FILTER CARTRIDGE\u00a0<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">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<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Changing Water Quality: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">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<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Increased Cleaning Frequency: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">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<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Damaged Filter:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> 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<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Check Filter Bands: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">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<h3>Salt Cell Cleanings<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">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<h3><b>Pool Cover Cleanings<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Our pool cover cleaning service is perfect for vinyl automatic cover owners. We never use power washers, but take a manual approach to ensure the longevity and integrity of the vinyl material. Our team employs gentle yet effective techniques that eliminate dirt, debris and algae to leave your cover in great condition.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Winter Pool Services<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There 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. You can learn the full list of benefits for winter pool service <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/poolscouts.com\/perks-of-keeping-your-pool-open-all-year\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">here<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re not sure whether to close your pool or maintain it through the winter months, call Pool Scouts. We have the background knowledge to know whether your pool will be better off getting closed or regularly maintained so that either way, when warmer weather arrives, your pool will be swim ready.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Filter Sand Changes<\/h3>\n<p>It can be easy to forget about changing the sand in your pool filter, but keeping that sand clean and fresh is important for your pool\u2019s health. Let Pool Scouts take on your filter sand changes so that\u2019s one less thing for you to worry about!<\/p>\n<h3>Chemical Checks<\/h3>\n<p>We offer chemical checks and water balance to customers that don\u2019t need our full pool cleaning service.<\/p>\n<h3><b>Pool School<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Our Pool School consultation service is tailored to empower new pool owners with the knowledge and skills needed to confidently care for their pools.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Pool Chemicals for Purchase<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re looking for high quality chemicals to maintain a well-balanced pool, Pool Scouts offers special rates on chemicals in bulk. We also have special rates on salt in bulk for our saltwater pool owners.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re interested in having Pool Scouts maintain your pool to keep it clean and healthy or to learn more out about one of our maintenance-specific services, give us a call at 801-335-6503.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pool Repair and Maintenance Pool Scouts of the Wasatch Front\u00a0offers pool maintenance to our neighbors in Sandy, Draper, and the [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-160385","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.0 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Pool Maintenance in the Wasatch Front Area | Pool Scouts<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Don&#039;t let pool problems slow you down.
