Pool Tips |
|
|
|
|
For Pumps |
|
*Oversizing or undersizing pumps in
relation to pool and plumbing sizes will result in less than optimal
filtering efficiency.
*Pumps should be elevated 4-6 inches
from ground level to extend motor life.
*Regularly clear debris from pump
and filter areas to promote motor cooling and extend operating life.
*Install motor cover to protect from
extreme weather. |
| For Filters |
|
*Oversizing cartridge filters will enhance
filtration efficiency.
*Oversizing or undersizing D.E. or
Sand filters will result in less efficient filtration. |
|
| |
For Heat Pumps |
| |
*Heat pumps are the most efficient method to
maintain pool water temperatures…35-45% of the cost of natural gas
and less than 30% of the cost of propane gas. (depending on geographic
location)
*Your owner’s manual will specify proper
installation steps and placement distances. |
| |
For Cleaners |
| |
*Electronic controlled and pressure
cleaners are best utilized in heavy debris areas.
*Suction side
cleaners with Arneson Debris Canisters added help prevent
suction pipe and pump clogging. |
| |
For Heaters |
| |
1. Check your pool chemistry regularly to maintain top operating
condition.
2. Use a pool cover or thermal blanket on your pool when it’s not in
use. Evaporation accounts for 70% of heat loss from your pool.
3. Add wind breaks to your pool. A 7-mph wind at the surface of a pool
can increase energy consumption 300%!
| Note:
All indoor heater installations must include an
indoor adaptor kit to vent the heater outside of the
enclosure. Propane gas heaters installed
outdoors should have a High Wind Stack to prevent
the pilot-light from blowing out. |

*Over sizing your heater will mean
quicker warm ups, greater efficiency and energy savings.
*Your owner’s manual will
specify proper installation steps and safe placement distances from
buildings, windows, etc.
