Pool Blankets/Covers & Rollers

What is the recommended amount of time to have pool equipment running?

As the weather gets warmer, we recommend that you increase the number of hours per day that equipment such as pumps, filters and cleaners are used from 6 hours per day to 8 hours per day.

Your pool will likely see a lot more use during this time and will therefore require increased daily maintenance to keep it in pristine condition.

How often should I drain the pool?

Draining a pool, especially over winter can actually risk damage to the bottom of the pool, which can include cracks or a faded colour in colder temperatures.

The best possible way to protect your pool and the existing water during months with less use is to invest in a pool cover. Pool covers protect from any falling leaves or debris and help to maintain the water temperature. A pool heater can also be included if you want to extend your swimming season into the colder months.
