Two years underwater, then swap the cleaner. They should only be in the pool about two years. FL Lic. CPC1461731 #PoolCleaner #PoolEquipment #PoolMaintenance

Water by your heater is usually just condensation. A heat pump's cold coil wrings water out of the air. FL Lic. CPC1461731 #PoolHeater #HeatPump #PoolCare

More chemicals isn't better. Chemical balance in Florida is different. FL Lic. CPC1461731 #PoolChemistry #FloridaPools #PoolCare

This pool is three bodies of water. A raised spa that pours into the pool. FL Lic. CPC1461731 #PoolCleaning #InfinityPool #PoolMaintenance

You can't salt your way out of a leak. Every gallon of fill water arrives with no salt in it. FL Lic. CPC1461731 #SaltPool #PoolLeak #SaltWaterPool

On a DE filter, the grids don't filter anything. The powder is what catches the dirt. The grids are just fabric that holds it. FL Lic. CPC1461731 #DEFilter #PoolFilter #CommercialPool

The gear we actually clean with, straight from the pool show. The three-bend pole finally fits in a truck. FL Lic. CPC1461731 #PoolService #PoolCleaning #PoolTools

A dirty filter turns your solar panels off. The pump has to push water to the roof and back. FL Lic. CPC1461731 #SolarPool #PoolFilter #PoolHeating

Brushing is how a pool uses fewer chemicals. Algae starts by sticking to the wall. FL Lic. CPC1461731 #PoolBrushing #PoolAlgae #PoolMaintenance

Her pool light was putting current in the water. The conduit feeding it had cracked open. FL Lic. CPC1461731 #PoolSafety #PoolLight #PoolEquipment

Closing one return won't stop a leak. They're all on the same line. FL Lic. CPC1461731 #PoolLeak #PoolTok #PoolCare

Is your pool water dead? Still water lets a biofilm form on top. FL Lic. CPC1461731 #PoolCirculation #PoolAlgae #Biofilm

That brown spot is not algae. It is rust. Somebody left a pool toy lying on the bottom. FL Lic. CPC1461731 #PoolStains #PoolPlaster #PoolMaintenance

Better equipment means fewer chemicals. A stronger pump filters the water better. FL Lic. CPC1461731 #PoolEquipment #PoolCare #PoolFiltration

Eight hours assumes a pool under 85 degrees. That is a pool sitting under 85 degrees the whole day, which is not Florida. FL Lic. CPC1461731 #PoolPump #PumpRunTime #FloridaPools

This pool was green, top to bottom. You can chase a pool like this with chemicals for weeks. FL Lic. CPC1461731 #GreenPool #AcidWash #PoolCleaning

First cold front? Most dead heaters aren't broken. The first calls come before 8 a.m.: a heater that won't fire, because its flow switch wants water moving. FL Lic. CPC1461731 #PoolHeater #HeatPump #PoolMaintenance

Don't tighten a Jandy filter past the lock. A lot of guys over-tighten it, and what breaks is the tab. FL Lic. CPC1461731 #JandyFilter #PoolFilter #PoolEquipment

Run your pump 24 hours? Get the watts way down and let it run. FL Lic. CPC1461731 #VariableSpeedPump #PoolPump #PoolSkimmer

The suction is hiding debris on your main drain. Anything on that grate is pinned flat while the pump runs. FL Lic. CPC1461731 #PoolVacuum #PoolCleaning #PoolMaintenance

Vacuuming is cleanup. Brushing is prevention. Vacuuming takes what is already on the floor. FL Lic. CPC1461731 #PoolCleaning #PoolMaintenance #PoolCare

New heater? Get titanium. New heaters are usually titanium, not copper nickel. FL Lic. CPC1461731 #PoolHeater #HeatPump #PoolEquipment

Chlorine goes in before the rain, not after. A storm dilutes whatever is already in the water. FL Lic. CPC1461731 #PoolChemistry #RainWeek #PoolMaintenance

Most people only lightly brush. Algae builds a barrier right against the plaster. FL Lic. CPC1461731 #PoolCleaning #PoolMaintenance #PoolCare

Black algae, no chlorine, full of tadpoles. First, everything floating comes out. FL Lic. CPC1461731 #BlackAlgae #PoolAlgae #PoolCleaning

Every pool visit, fast-forwarded. Skim the surface and empty the baskets. FL Lic. CPC1461731 #PoolService #PoolMaintenance #PoolCleaning

It looks clean. We empty it anyway. Even when it looks clean, it gets cleaned. FL Lic. CPC1461731 #PumpBasket #PoolPump #PoolMaintenance

You are balancing your pool in the wrong order. Alkalinity first. It is the shock absorber. FL Lic. CPC1461731 #PoolChemistry #PoolMaintenance #PoolCare

When a test strip isn't enough. A strip tells us what a routine visit needs. FL Lic. CPC1461731 #PoolWaterTesting #PoolChemistry #PoolMaintenance

The air in your filter is a loaded spring. Never open a filter or a pump under pressure. FL Lic. CPC1461731 #PoolSafety #PoolFilter #PoolPump
