COLONY POOL SERVICE, INC. wants you to have a trouble-free pool season.
Here are a few tips to help you:

• Be sure to keep your pool water properly balanced at all times. Having the proper pH total alkalinity and calcium harness level will help your sanitizer work to its optimum.


• Brush your pool walls and floor once a week to help keep the surface smooth and free of algae.


• Always remember to check your skimmer and pump baskets on a regular basis By keeping your baskets clean, you will be assured in having better filtration.


• The most common place for a pool leak is on the mouth of a skimmer where concrete meets the plastic skimmer box. This can easily be remedied by using pool putty available at our store and talking to one of our pool professionals.


• Always add diatomaceous earth (DE) to your DE filter after backwashing. Operating a DE filter without DE powder will clog the filter grids and cause your pressure to rise too quickly.


• Regular manual cleaning by opening the tank and hosing your grids mid-season is highly recommended.


• Backwash sand filters once a week or after a good vacuuming. To get the best results from your sand filter, sand should be changed at least every 3-5 years.
