Press Release Summary = As we all know in the pool business, winter is different for everyone. Some of us have a few months of from the headaches of pool care and many of us will be feeling the mad rush of people trying to get out of the cold and into a nice warm pool.
Press Release Body = 1. Check Filter(s): This usually is very easy to do no matter what kind of filter you have. It basically involves opening your filter, and just looking at the filter media. In a sand filter: is the sand clean and gritty feeling, or are there large chunks. If the sand it filthy, it means you need to replace it with clean sand. On a cartridge filter, you will need to look for dirt, grease or scum build up on the filter media. Cleaning cartridges is very simple. Soaking them in a mixture of water and tri-sodium-phosphate is the easiest and cheapest way. DE filters are a bit more complex, regardless, keep filter media clean. This means the cloth covered elements must remain clean and free from oil, dirt and scale build up. 2. Meet Code: We all know that one of the biggest reasons to be shut down is by not meeting code when an inspector stops by. There are a million and one things that the inspector can nail you for, but there are a few that I will go over. CPO (Certified Pool Operator) certification is becoming the standard for commercial pool operators. In a lot of states it is even state law that any commercial pool must have a CPO on staff. Not only will it teach you how to operate your pool more efficiently and effectively, but it will also take some of the liability out of your swimming pool operation. Another thing to note about your pool is the condition of the deck area, coping stone, and pool surface. Inspectors don\'t like to see cracked or broken cement or deck surfaces that could potentially endanger people. Loose or broken coping stone should be replaced immediately, no matter what time of the year or inconvenience. Finally, check your pump room equipment. You need to have certain indicators to meet code. These indicators, working properly, will tell you if your filtration meets code in respect to flow and/or filtration efficiency. 3. Have a "Plan": As we all know, pools require regular maintenance. It is a very good idea to plan out when and how you will do this. Planning a schedule of when you will do this based on your busy times and slow times can make your operation much smoother. Obviously we all still have to test our swimming pool everyday, so plan on that and take the time. It is law that you have to have records of your testing "every" day. It is a wise idea to keep some spare parts on site.
