Swimming Pool Repair Tips
So you finally have your new pool, now what? Swimming pools will need maintenance and pool repair on a regular basis, to find out more, continue to read.
Pool heaters must be switched on regularly, as they do not fare too well when left stagnant. We recommend running yours at least 30 minutes every week. This helps to prevent parts wearing out because of dry rot, and also to discourage insects and animals which like taking up residence in heaters which haven’t been used for a long time!
Checking for the correct installation, all too often we find new clients that have a heater or salt system which is not installed properly. Heater manuals do state that a corrosion-resistant check valve must be installed when the heater is installed, this prevents chlorine or saltwater from sitting on the heat exchanger and rusting it. It can often void your manufacturer’s warranty when not installed correctly.
All warranties are not equal, this is something pool owners fail to understand. Swimming pool repair and maintenance contractors do not obtain the same warranty from the manufacturers. It will actually vary based on their quality of work, reputation and how long they have been in business for.
The standard warranty offered by most pool companies is one year, and typically on the Internet, purchases only offer 30 days. A two – three year warranty will save you $500 or more, when compared to a 30 day or 1 year warranty, so it is advisable to get your pool repairs performed by someone that is able to provide you with a strong and long warranty, in addition to letting them supply the part so you can benefit from it.
