Splash Super Pool Parts

Pools require filter changes, routine cleaning, and a careful check of the pH water balance during the swimming season. If proper water balance is maintained, and you insure that the circulation system in your new pool is adequate and always working properly, then two thirds of the battle is done. A lot of the chemical considerations are determined by the amount of usage the pool gets during the summer months.

Sanitizing your pool is a must to insure the health of pool users. Typically, chlorine is added to the pool on a weekly basis. Chlorine works in the water to kill bacteria and contaminants. This can be accomplished by several methods. A chlorine feeder is available from your local pool dealership. You can also mix the chlorine, which always come in a granular form, with water, and apply it yourself. Always be careful in the process and not dump it all in quickly, but add only a little at a time. Any chemical is caustic, and safety is a must.

You may also consider using bromine to sanitize your pool. It is preferred by people with very sensitive skin, and those who hate the chorine smell. The biggest disadvantage of using bromine is its cost, which is much higher than chlorine.

After the water has been sanitized, it is then “shocked” approximately every two weeks before adding chlorine again. Because chlorine loses its effectiveness after a period of interacting with pool waste and contaminants, the shocker is used to clean out all of the leftover debris from the chlorine interaction in the water. The process, called oxidization, cleans the swimmer waste from the pool, such as skin cells, suntan lotions, cosmetics, and even urine, and rids the pool of old chlorine. If you notice the pool has a strong chlorine smell, or is cloudy, it’s probably because the pool is not being maintained properly. Shocking the pool will quickly cure this ailment. The pool will then be re-chlorinated.

It is always a good idea to take a sample of your pool water to your local pool dealership for testing on a monthly basis to insure that the water is correctly balanced. This will also help to foresee any problems that may be arising in your pool. Be sure to circulate the water in your pool for at least 8 to 12 hours continuously during the day.

On a weekly basis, vacuum and skim your pool to remove any debris. Doing so helps control pool contamination. It is also effective in discouraging algae growth in your pool.

Other regular maintenance includes the changing of filters on a regular basis as recommended by your pool dealership, and making sure that all O rings in the system are greased and void of cracks or abrasions. Check electrical connections on a regular basis to insure there is no frayed or cracked wiring. Keep skimmer baskets free of debris, and keep the pool area free of vegetation and leaves to insure there is no contamination of the pool.

Pool maintenance should always include checking things such as diving boards, handrails, and ladders to insure there are no loose or rusted bolts. Inspect your diving board for any cracks or stressed areas, and replace if you find these problems. Doing so will insure the safety of all pool users.

If you have been a proud owner of  a in-ground swimming pool  or an above ground pool for quite some time now, you are probably  already aware of the importance of a pool filter.  However,   if you are one of those still about to have his/her very own swimming  pool and are looking or inquiring about pool  supplies that they will be needing,  perhaps, this article  will be of help to you.

Have you ever cooked  pasta?  One of the steps in cooking it  is filtering the noodles that  you will use, right?  You can only do this by using a filter – that filter works just the same way as your swimming pool filter.  It is the one that serves as a barrier of the pool water from the  dirt or debris that are collected in the  swimming pool.  It keeps all the unwanted  things from staying  in your  pool water for a long time leaving you with a cleaner and much safer swimming pool to use.  We all do want to be safe around it and using swimming pool supplies like pool fences, pool alarms, etc is not enough.  We may be safe from drowning yet our health will not be safe because of the possibility of the unseen bacteria that could get eventually get into our body systems without the poll filter.  There are three types of pool filters that pool owners can pick out from –  the sand, the cartridge and  the diatomaceous earth (DE).  Picking out  the  one that  will suit you best needs to take some time to think about  and as a pool owner that will choose one, you need some information on each one so that you  will know the facts upon which you base your choices.  As much as possible, get to know  and try to list the advantages and disadvantages of each one on a notebook or a paper that you will make sure to  bring with you upon heading out to your local stores to buy.  It is important to be wise since there are pool clerks who will try to fool you just to increase their sales.

Vacuuming Your Splash SuperPool
WARNING: Do not attempt to remove or install the swimming pool vacuum plate while pump and filter are running. The suction is very powerful; fingers may get pinched between the vacuum plate and the skimmer.
DO NOT swim in the pool while vacuum is running.
WARNING: Keep body parts away from vacuum plate when in place and pump and filter are running.
To vacuum your pool, you may either use an automatic cleaner or the traditional manual method. If you choose the manual method, you will need a 1.5″ flexible pool vacuum hose of adequate length, a vinyl liner vacuum head, and a telescopic pole.
Begin by turning pump and swimming pool filter off, then place vacuum hose on vacuum head or automatic cleaner. Place vacuum (either auto cleaner or vinyl vacuum head attached to end of telescopic pole) in pool, allowing hose to fill with water. Continue to feed hose straight down into water, thus removing air from the hose and replacing it with water. Once you get to the end of the hose, water will come out. Turn swimming pool pump and pool filter on and begin vacuuming your pool.

Automatic Vacuuming
With the pump turned off, place the Vacuum Adapter Plate (“N” on SuperPools, “L” on OmegaPools) on top of the Floating Skimmer Weir (“J” on SuperPools, “H” on OmegaPools). Once the pump is turned on, the suction of the pump will hold the plate in place.
Attach vacuum hose into adapter plate hole. Again, pump suction will hold hose in place. Turn on the pump and filter; the pool is now ready to be vacuumed. The automatic vacuum will run on its own. When pool is clean, turn off pump and filter, unplug vacuum hose, remove vacuum, and remove adapter plate. This is a good time to empty any debris from the Skimmer Basket (“L” on SuperPools, “J” on OmegaPools). Finally, turn pump back on to continue filtering.
