The amount of time you need to run your pool pump depends on factors such as pool size, frequency of use and pump size. Pumps typically do not need to run for more than 8 hours a day with proper pool cleaning and maintenance. 90003 90004 Pool Pump Function 90005 90002 Your pool pump is used for a few reasons.It pulls water from the pool and circulates it through the filter to remove particles, algae and bacteria, then circulates the cleaned water back into the pool. The pump also helps distribute the chemicals that keep the pool’s water clean and clear and removes debris, carrying it through the pool’s main drain and into a basket, where it can be discarded. 90003 90004 Pump Timing 90005 90002 A pool pump should run for as long as necessary to circulate all of the water through the pump and filter system.This turnover rate varies based on pool size and the pump. Pumps can typically circulate all of the water within a 6 to 8 hour period; some pools require pumping for up to 12 hours. Begin using your pool pump in 6-hour intervals, and if the water does not appear to be clean, increase the time in 30-minute increments until it does. 90003 90004 Energy Efficiency 90005 90002 Pump operation time depends largely on the size of your pump, but larger pumps cost more in energy bills. Instead of choosing the largest pump, choose the smallest pump available for your pool, and do not run the pump on a 24-hour basis.This cycles the water several times, but causes more wear and tear on your pump, which shortens its lifespan. Residential pools commony require a 1-horsepower (HP) pump or smaller for proper cleaning. Pools generally do not require pumps using more than 1 1/2 horsepower; these larger, more powerful pumps tend to circulate the water through the filter too rapidly for proper cleaning. 90003 90004 Maximizing Pump Lifespan 90005 90002 You can minimize the amount of time you need to run your pool pump and increase its service life with proper cleaning and maintenance of your swimming pool.This includes using pool covers and automatic pool cleaners and performing regular cleaning with vacuums, brushes and skimmers to remove debris and lower the load on the pump. Empty your pool’s straining baskets daily to reduce the chance of clogged drains, which cause the pump to work harder. Install a timer on your pump to allow you to automatically run the pump several times a day in short intervals, which helps ensure maximum efficiency. 90003.90000 The Ultimate Guide to Converting Your Pool to Saltwater 90001 90002 When people find out that I deal with swimming pools on a daily basis, one of the most common questions I get is, «What do you think about salt pools?» to which I find myself going into a little sales blurb on what a salt pool is. I would say 90% of the people have heard of salt pools, but do not really know how they work. Most know they are supposed to be nicer than chlorine pools and think that salt pools do not use chlorine, but this is not the case.This article will explain how a salt pool works, if one is the right choice for you and then the process of converting your pool from traditional chlorine to salt. 90003 90002 90005 90006 90007 90003 90009 90010 What is a salt water pool? 90011 90012 90002 With a salt pool, you add salt to your pool water. This amount is below the taste threshold meaning you do not taste a strong salt taste like associated with the ocean. Ocean water is at 50,000 parts per million (PPM) of salt. A salt pool is a mere fraction of this and only has 3,000 PPM of salt.In a salt pool an electrode (also called a salt cell) is installed in your plumbing and as the diluted salt water passes through the cell, the electrical reaction between the electrode and the salt water creates chlorine. So, with a salt pool you are still using chlorine to sanitize your pool as you are just manufacturing your own. The chlorine that is produced by a salt pool is a higher quality of chlorine that does not have the negative effects of traditional chlorine like the chlorine smell, red eyes and itchy skin.With a salt pool you no longer need to purchase chlorine tablets, liquid chlorine or shock as the salt system will be creating all of your chlorine. Salt systems also have a superchlorination feature that acts as shocking your pool. If you’re interested in learning more about salt water pools then I would suggest reading our recent blog post on «What is a Salt Water Pool» which goes into much greater detail on this topic. 90003 90002 90003 90002 90003 90002 90003 90009 90010 The pros & cons of salt pools 90011 90012 90025 Pros: 90026 90027 90028 90010 No more buying chlorine 90011 — A salt system manufactures natural chlorine.That means no more buying chlorine tablets, shock or liquid chlorine! 90031 90028 90010 No more manually adding chlorine 90011 — On a salt system you dial in your chlorine production and that is it. This is a major benefit over traditional chlorine where you have to make sure to add your chlorine to the pool each week and if you forget or go on vacation then you are faced with issues. I have to admit this is my favorite benefit of a salt pool. 90031 90028 90010 No chlorine smell, red eyes or itchy skin — 90011 The negative effects of chlorine like the chlorine smell, red eyes and itchy skin are all due to chloramines.The chlorine that is produced by a salt pool does not have chloramines. This means all of these traditional side effects of chlorine are eliminated. This is the reason why many people who swim in a salt pool think that it is a non-chlorine pool. 90031 90040 90025 Cons: 90026 90027 90028 H 90010 igh pH & calcium build-up 90011 — In salt pools the pH level of the water likes to rise. If you do not keep your pH levels in check then this can lead to calcium scaling in your pool or your salt cell.This is easily maintained by testing your pH levels weekly and adding muriatic acid if you need to lower your pH. 90031 90028 90010 Salt cell replacement 90011 — Every 3-7 years you will need to replace your salt cell which costs between $ 200 — $ 700. 90031 90028 90010 More parts 90011 — On a salt system there are more parts which can become faulty like the circuit board, salt cell, flow sensor or flow switch. 90031 90028 90010 Corrosive to pool and equipment? 90011 — This topic is open for debate as many pool professionals feel salt water is perfectly fine for your equipment and others feel you need special equipment.Our experience is that sometimes the shaft seal on your pool pump may fail a little quicker, but this is an easy inexpensive fix. If you are adding a heater to your pool you may consider a cupro nickel heater as this heater has a heavy duty heat exchanger which is supposed to hold up better to salt. The last item you may consider is a sacrificial zinc anode. You place this zinc disk in your skimmer and the anode absorbs all the corrosion 90031 90040 90009 90010 Converting from chlorine to salt 90011 90012 90002 Once you have made the decision that you want to convert from a traditional chlorine pool to a salt pool then your first decision will be which salt system to choose.A few considerations you will want to take into account when selecting your salt system are listed below. 90003 90009 90010 Selecting your salt system 90011 90012 90027 90028 90010 Pool size: 90011 Salt systems range from pools 10,000 gallons — 100,000 gallons. You will need to select the system based on your pool size. You can always go with a larger unit on a smaller pool. This will allow you to run the salt system for shorter periods of time and you will have longer time between replacing your salt cell.90031 90028 90010 Budget: 90011 Salt Systems can cost anything from $ 500 — $ 2,000. The less expensive models have few bells and whistles where the higher end systems have a bunch of fancy features including the ability to control all your pool equipment. 90031 90028 90010 Features: 90011 Salt systems vary in regards to the features offered. Some of these features include: salt readout, self cleaning, self diagnostics, digital readout and the ability to control pool equipment. 90031 90028 90010 Replacement cell cost: 90011 This is an important factor and is often overlooked.Your salt cell will need to be replaced every 3-5 years. Replacement salt cells range from $ 200 — $ 700. So, if you get a salt system which uses a $ 200 cell then you could replace this cell 3½ times before it costs as much as replacing the $ 700 cell. 90031 90028 90010 Where to buy: 90011 Here you can check out our full line Salt Chlorine Generators we even have a model for in-ground pools starting at $ 499. 90031 90040 90002 90003 90002 90003 90002 90003 90025 90010 Installation 90011 90026 90002 Now it is time to decide if you are going to hire a pool company to install the salt system or do it yourself.If you go the pool company route, then you are looking at $ 300 — $ 500 for installation. Many homeowners decide to tackle this DIY project themselves as this is usually a 3-6 hour job that can be tackled over the weekend. We have put together a step-by-step video on «How to Install a Salt Chlorine Generator» which would be a good primer to see if you think you can tackle the job. The installation consists of some basic plumbing and electrical work. 90003 90025 90010 Adding the salt 90007 90011 90026 90002 After you have installed your salt system the next step is to add the salt to your pool.We have put together a guide on «How to Add Salt to a Pool» which discusses this process in greater detail, but we will touch on the basics which are: 90003 90027 90028 How much salt do you need? 90031 90028 Testing water 90031 90028 Selecting salt 90031 90028 Adding salt 90031 90040 90002 The first thing you will want to do is check the owner’s manual to determine how much salt you will need. Normally this will be between 400 lbs. — 1,000 lbs. based on the size of your pool. You will want to pick up some pool salt test strips as you do not want to assume that you are starting at 0 PPM of salt as often your water will have some salt in it (for example you may be starting off at 200 PPM of salt).The salt strip will also be used after you add all of your salt to ensure you are within the 3,000 — 3,5000 PPM salt range. 90003 90002 Next you will need to pick up some pool salt. This can be easily found at your local home improvement store, pool store or even grocery store. You will just want to make sure the salt you choose is at least 99.8% NaCl and that it is granular (no pellets or rock salt). Often people get concerned when they hear that they need to add 400 lbs. of salt, but this is just 10 bags of salt (40 lb.bags) and salt costs about $ 5 per bag so this would be about $ 50 in salt. Salt does not dissolve from water meaning that you will only need to add additional salt if you experience evaporation, heavy rain, water being splashed out of the pool or a leak. Normally you would add several bags of salt throughout the year to maintain the required salt levels. 90003 90002 Now it is time to add the salt to your pool. Your pool pump should be turned on and the salt system should be turned off. You will want to broadcast the salt evenly around the pool for even distribution.Avoid adding the salt directly to the skimmer or main drains at the bottom of the pool as this can damage your equipment. You will run your filter pump for 24 hours to allow for the salt to mix evenly through your pool water. After 24 hours use your salt test strip to verify that you have the correct salt reading of 3,000 — 3,500 PPM of salt. 90003 90025 90010 Starting up the salt chlorine generator 90011 90026 90002 It is very important to start off with good pool water. Your water chemistry should start off at the following values: 90003 90002 90010 Salt: 90011 3,000 — 3,500 PPM 90007 90010 Free Chlorine: 90011 1.0 — 3.0 PPM 90007 90010 pH: 90011 7.2 — 7.8 90007 90010 Cyanuric Acid (Stabilizer): 90011 50 — 75 PPM 90007 90010 Total Alkalinity: 90011 80 — 120 PPM 90007 90010 Calcium Hardness: 90011 150 — 400 PPM 90003 90002 At start up it is best to shock your pool from an outside source like a standard granular pool shock. Then, wait until the chlorine level has returned to between 1 to 3 PPM before turning on the salt system. Now it’s time to kick on your salt system. We suggest setting the system to 50% chlorine production and let the system run for 24 hours.After 24 hours test your pool water with a good test strip to see if your free chlorine is between 1-3 PPM. If your chlorine is too high or too low, dial your chlorine product up or down in 10% increments and retest your chlorine in 24 hours. Repeat this process until the proper chlorine level is reached. The nice thing is that once the salt system is dialed in it is pretty much a set-it-and-forget system, because it is always there producing natural chlorine for your pool at the desired amount to keep your pool crystal clear.Salt systems also have a superchlorinate feature which shocks your pool. So if you ever run into demanding water conditions then this feature comes in handy to shock your pool and get your pool water looking clear again. 90003 90002 90003 90002 90003 90002 90003 90009 90010 Maintenance 90011 90012 90025 90010 Testing your water 90011 90026 90002 Now that you have your salt system up and running you will want to periodically test your water to make sure that your water chemistry is in balance with the values ​​listed earlier in this article.90003 90025 90010 Prolonging the life of your salt cell 90011 90026 90002 Salt cells normally last 3-7 years. To get longer life out of your cell, you will want to follow certain steps. 90003 90002 As your salt cell is in use, calcium deposits will build up on the blades of your salt cell. To remove this calcium build up, soak your cell in diluted acid solution. To prolong the life of your cell, you will want to clean it at least once a season. On the flip side you want to make sure you do not clean your cell too often or with too highly concentrated acid solution as this can strip the cell of its titanium coating making it useless.90003 90025 90010 Calcium build-up 90011 90026 90002 Salt pools tend to make the pH in your pool want to rise so it is important that you are monitoring your pH levels and adding muriatic acid to reduce the pH. High pH levels cause much quicker calcium build up on your salt cell as well as on your pool tiles. I learned this the hard way! If you want to get fancy, many pool owners are coupling their salt systems with an acid feed pump. This is nice as the production of chlorine in your pool is automatically produced by the salt chlorine generator and the pH levels are automated by the feed of acid from the acid pump.90003 90009 Need help converting your pool to saltwater? 90012 90002 When I built my pool I installed a salt system and I can honestly say it is one of my favorite features of my pool.

Vacuum hose 90015 90024 90003 90002 Vacuum hoses are also universally made to attach to all systems. 90003 90002 You just want to make sure you purchase one long enough to reach every area of ​​your pool. 90003 90002 90021 90014 4.Skim vac (or vacuum plate) 90015 90024 90003 90002 A skim vac (or vacuum plate) allows you to use the skimmer basket instead of the pump strainer basket, eliminating the need to turn the pool pump on and off. 90003 90002 90061 90014 How to vacuum your pool manually 90015 90016 90003 90002 Now you should have all your equipment laid out and ready to go, so it’s time to get down to business, starting in the shallow end of the pool. 90003 90002 90069 90014 Step 1. Prime your vacuum 90015 90024 90003 90002 The first thing you’ll need to do is to prime your vacuum by purging all the air from your vacuuming system.90003 90002 Air pockets can make your unit lose suction, so removing it ahead of time will help keep the system going longer. 90003 90002 To do this, you will simply snap the vacuum head onto the telescoping pole and lower it into the bottom of the pool floor. 90003 90002 90081 90082 90003 90002 Then just push the other end of the hose against a jet and allow it to push all the air out of the hose. 90003 90002 You’ll see air bubbles floating up from the vacuum head, letting you know air is flowing through the hose.90003 90002 When there are no more bubbles, the hose is air-free and you’re ready to start. 90003 90002 90069 90014 Step 2. Connect to the pump 90015 90024 90003 90002 Your vacuum system works by attaching it to a skimmer inlet powered by the suction of the pool circulation pump. 90003 90002 Before you connect the open end of the hose to the inlet, you will need to remove the strainer basket. 90003 90002 Then simply plug your open vacuum hose in to the suction port at the bottom of the skimmer.90003 90002 90069 90014 Step 3. Vacuum your pool 90015 90024 90003 90002 Now you’ll just move the vacuum head back and forth along the surface of the pool until it’s clean. 90003 90002 If you lose suction, you will need to repeat steps 1 and 2. 90003 90002 If you’re still having trouble, check out this troubleshooting guide for some quick tips. 90003 90002 90115 90014 How to vacuum your pool with a garden hose 90015 90016 90003 90002 Another method for vacuuming the pool is to use a vacuum system that attaches to your garden hose.90003 90002 90123 90082 90003 90002 This method is a good inexpensive alternative for smaller pools or hot tubs. 90003 90002 For this method, you will just need to follow these simple steps: 90003 90130 90131 90002 1 90003 Connect the telescoping pole to the vacuum head. 90134 90131 90002 2 90003 Connect the end of the hose to the other end of your pole. (The other end of your hose should be connected to its spigot). 90134 90139 90002 3 90003 Attach the vacuum bag to the proper opening on the vacuum.90134 90139 90002 4 90003 Turn off your pool’s filtration system. 90134 90139 90002 5 90003 Turn on the water and submerge the vacuum into the pool. 90134 90139 90002 6 90003 Slowly and steadily move your vacuum back and forth along the surface to vacuum the pool and remove dirt and debris. 90134 90155 90002 If your vacuum loses suction during this process, pull the vacuum out and empty the collection bag. 90003 90002 If that does not work, try turning off the water source and then turning it back on again before lowering it back into the pool water.90003 90002 90014 Important note 90015: Be sure not to rush through this job and stir up the debris at the bottom of the pool. When this happens, your vacuum will not be able to clean it up-it will float around for a while and later settle at the bottom again. Take your time to thoroughly and slowly cover the entire surface of the pool. 90003 90002 7 Finally, turn the filtration system back on to remove any residual floating debris. 90003 90002 90167 90014 How to clean your pool with a sand filter 90015 90016 90003 90002 If you choose to use a sand filter as your vacuum filtration method, you’ll just need to choose the proper setting.90003 90174 90175 90014 Read 90015: 90175 How to choose the 90179 90175 90175 best pool filter 90179 90179 90179 90185 90002 Usually this type of filter system will have six settings: rinse, recirculate, backwash, waste, filter or closed. 90003 90002 The filter setting is the most common setting used to vacuum a pool. It will handle minimal debris with no visible algae. 90003 90002 90191 90082 90003 90002 But if your pool water is a little dirtier than normal, choose the waste setting.90003 90002 Once you’ve vacuumed your pool, it’s important to follow your manufacturer’s instruction for cleaning and backwashing the filter to keep it running properly. 90003 90002 It’s important to note that this type of filter system is not suitable for cleaning pools with a lot of debris or algae, and that your water level is going to drop, so be sure to add water back in. 90003 90002 Other methods of cleaning these pools are preferred and a more extensive algae cleaning may be necessary.90003 90002 90203 90014 Why it’s worth investing in an automatic cleaner 90015 90016 90003 90002 You might be thinking that a good filtration system is all you need, and believe me, it’s important! 90003 90002 It will minimize algae and help you maintain normal PH levels, making your maintenance a little less time-consuming. 90003 90002 But even the best filters can not do all the work. 90003 90002 To keep your pool sparkling-clean and clear, you’ll need to use an extra cleaning method at least once a week.90003 90002 After a few weeks of manually scrubbing and vacuuming your pool, you’ll probably agree that an automatic pool cleaner is a worthy investment to free up your time and energy. 90003 90002 90219 90014 Types of automatic cleaners 90015 90024 90003 90002 There are a few different types to choose from, and what works for you will be dependent on your particular situation and preference. 90003 90002 90014 1. A robotic cleaner 90015 does not require attachment to your pool’s pump. It’s probably the quickest and most effective type of unit, but can get a little pricey.90003 90002 I recommend a robotic cleaner for large pools or pools with hard-to-reach areas as most can be operated by remote control. 90003 90002 90014 2. A 90015 90014 suction-side cleaner 90015 attaches to your pool filter to create suction. It’s the most inexpensive option and I recommend it for pools with only dirt and debris problems. 90003 90002 90014 3. A pressure-side cleaner 90015 attaches to the return hose on your pool filter for suction and has its own collection bag. 90003 90002 The downside to these is that you have to replace the bags often, but they do reduce wear and tear on your pool’s filter by collecting their own debris.90003 90002 90245 90014 Bottom line 90015 90016 90003 90002 There’s no doubt about it-maintaining a clean and healthy pool takes some work, but with a few tips and tricks of the trade, you’ll be a pro in no time! 90003.
