How to know when it is time for an upgrade

If you’ve noticed that the quality of your pool water isn’t quite as clear as it used to be, and maintenance of your equipment isn’t solving the problem, or the pool water is fine, but the equipment that’s maintaining it isn’t holding up anymore, then it may be time for an upgrade.

Signs your pool equipment needs an update

Pump problems

If your pump is making strange noises, struggling to circulate water efficiently, or consuming more energy than usual, it’s waving a red flag. Your outdated pump may be struggling to keep up with the demands of your pool.

Chlorinator issues

Your chlorinator is the unsung hero of pool sanitation. But if it’s old-school and manual, you’re missing out. Modern chlorinators maintain consistent chlorine levels, ensuring your water stays pristine. If yours is outdated and struggling, it’s time for an upgrade.

Filter frustrations

Filters cleanse and purify the water in your pool. But if your filter is constantly clogged, inefficient, or extremely worn, it’s time to bid it farewell. A new filter will keep your water clean and your pool maintenance troubles at bay.

The transformation

As you can see with this client, it’s likely that one or all these issues prompted them to install new pool equipment. While we do recommend maintenance and repairs, eventually, the cost of constant maintenance and the opportunity cost of missing more efficient pool equipment make an upgrade more sensible.

We installed a new Astral ECA Filter, Astral VX7T Chlorinator, Astral CTX 280 Pump and piping for our client. The new setup uses the advances in pool equipment that have occurred since their last instalment to make this client’s pool more efficient, reliable and hassle-free. With new warranties covering all the equipment, they’ll operate at peak performance for years, allowing them to enjoy their pool for many more summers to come. The team at Best Price Pool Equipment was happy to help them get a new lease of life out of their pool.

If you have any questions about pool maintenance or would like to inquire about what equipment is best suited for your next pool upgrade, don’t hesitate to contact us.
